About Malaria No More UK

Malaria has been described as the oldest killer disease in history; even now,
despite recent progress, it claims the life of a child every two minutes.
Malaria No More UK is part of a global movement that is determined to make
this the generation that beats this killer. To realise this vision, we need to
mobilise governments, influencers, businesses and the public, inspiring them
to commit funds, energy and resources to ending deaths from malaria and wiping
out the disease for good.

Job summary

Malaria No More UK’s mission is to catalyse and inspire the global
partnerships, leadership, and financing to make malaria no more in a
generation. MNMUK delivers ground breaking mass communication and advocacy
campaigns on behalf of the global malaria community. MNMUK is seeking to
expand its efforts beyond the global stage to help galvanise and support
national and regional efforts to drive attention, resources, and action to end
malaria in Africa. MNMUK will bring fresh impetus in Africa at the heart of
the malaria fight in a phased approach ensuring regional learnings are
cascaded across to maximise effective action.

This is a new role, under the MNMUK Africa workstream, whose key
responsibility will be to support the establishment of local, context-specific
initiatives driven by local requirements and priorities. The envisaged in-
country engagement model will include working with local partners through sub-
granting and capacity building that will see successful in-country advocacy
and communications mechanisms established. This approach will combine
creativity, digital technology and political and public champions and will
embrace intersectionality in areas such as climate, youth, gender and
education.

The Africa Programme Manager will contribute significantly to MNMUK’s
strategic Africa vision development and execution. They will support the
identification, development and execution of strategic, context specific,
advocacy and communications plans and activities for MNMUK and will provide
appropriate support and advice in these areas to local partners across the
chosen focus countries, support annual work planning and will be responsible
for maintaining key partnership relationships.

This role comes at a time when the world’s attention and efforts are drawn to
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the novel vaccine deployment in a response
to the single largest public health and economic crisis of a generation. The
ideal candidate will therefore be able to operate in this context, be someone
who is creative, innovative, able to manage activities in a rapidly changing
environment and have excellent experience in networking and government and
external relations. The Africa Programme Manager will report to the Africa
Director and support them with assigned financial, administrative and
operational functions.
