Cross-Border Community Resilience (CBCR) Activity

Chemonics International

Nairobi, Kenya

Chemonics seeks a Communications Officer for USAID’s ongoing Cross-Border Community Resilience (CBCR) Activity. This project is one year into its five-year term and is designed to enhance resilience and thus reduce the need for humanitarian assistance among communities in the cross-border clusters of Karamoja, Moyale, and Mandera. Focusing on communities that live across the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, and Somalia, the Activity aims to empower local entities, including communities, civil society, private sector, and governments to chart their own pathways for addressing conflict, improving livelihoods, and/or reducing the risks of shocks and stresses. The CBCR Activity works to foster local ownership of development investments by supporting local leadership in work planning, implementation, and monitoring.

The Communications Officer will have a matrix management relationship with the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Manager, but ultimately report to the Chief of Party (COP). The Communications Officer will oversee the Activity’s communications strategy. He/She will provide quality control on communication publications, marketing materials, social media platforms, and other communication materials generated.

This role will be based in Nairobi, Kenya, with frequent travel to Mandera, Moyale, and Karamoja cross-border cluster areas as required.

Application Instructions:

Please apply by end of day (EOD) on Friday, December 16, 2022. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. No telephone inquiries, please. Chemonics will contact finalists.
