Job Description
Programme backgroundThe Institutions for Inclusive Development (I4ID) programme goal is to
strengthen democratic institutions and governance in Tanzania so that they are more inclusive and accountable, and economic growth and service delivery provides more benefits for the poor and marginalized. I4ID is a programme that will continually consider the complex environments and changing circumstances of the political and economic landscape in which it is working, and adapt its strategy and activities accordingly. The I4ID programme is a five-year DFID funded programme running until June 2021.
While Tanzania’s economy has grown at over 7% for more than a decade, patterns of growth and service delivery have meant that Tanzania’s economic progress has not always benefited poor, vulnerable or excluded people. One factor at play is the systemic problems with policy formulation and administration. The Institutions for Inclusive Development (I4ID) is trying to address this issue through innovative programming using locally driven solutions. The I4ID programme goal is to work with government, representative institutions (such as parliament), civil society and the private sector so that economic growth and social services bring more benefits to the poor and excluded people. In the process, key lessons will be learned about how to help governance work better in the interests of marginalised groups such as youth, women and the poor, mapping a path towards a more inclusive
pattern of growth and development in the future.
Management lines: The Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI) Advisor will report to the Team Leader of I4ID programme and work closely with the programme’s Technical Advisor and international Gender and Social Inclusion Advisor.
