CARE seeks a Chief of Party (COP) for the anticipated USAID-funded Regional Resilience Leader with Associates Activity for the Sahel Region. This Activity aims to expand resilience in the Sahel, improving the ability of individuals, households and communities to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from perennial shocks and stresses. The Activity will address the unequal impact of shocks, stresses, and climate change on women and youth, and their implication on households and the local economy. The focus of the Activity will be Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad and possibly the Gambia.
The COP will be responsible for leadership, management, and technical direction of staff and consultants, project activities such as implementation, monitoring, reporting and evaluation, and partner coordination. They will serve as key liaison with USAID, government counterparts, and local and international partners. At the same time, the COP will be accountable for the quality of Associate Awards. The COP will manage and supervise the work of Leader Award personnel and subcontractors/subgrantees and ensure that all program assistance is technically sound and appropriate. The COP also oversees work planning, performance management, and strategic communication.
This activity is expected to be a five-year Leader with Associates Award in the $100-300 million range with a ceiling of $200 million. It is anticipated that 65% of the funding will be targeted to Burkina Faso.
This is a Key Personnel position, subject to USAID approval. It is also subject to project award and funding. National and international candidates are encouraged to apply. This position will be based in Dakar, Senegal.
