Operations & Philanthropy Development Manager Zambian Governance Foundation

The Zambian Governance Foundation for Civil Society’s mandate is to strengthen local communities and civil society capacities to unlock and utilize available and untapped resources for sustainable development. ZGF has a strong belief that local communities have the power and resourcefulness to shape their own development without relying on external aid. To achieve this, ZGF has been providing access to grants, capacity development and other resources to local CSOs and CBOs across Zambia, using a non-thematic approach, and working with communities to nurture community philanthropy. ZGF now wishes to recruit an Operations and Philanthropy Manager position.

As an active member of the #ShiftThePower movement, ZGF believes that an alternative model to the traditional aid system is possible. It advocates for a paradigm shift and civil society’s appreciation for the resources Zambia and the African continent has to offer for local development. If you are passionate about driving positive change, ready to learn and take on new tasks as a result of organisational learning, initiative-taking, and ready to work in a multi-disciplinary team with ability to interact effectively with local communities, civil society organisations and new development actors, ZGF would like to meet with you.
