Do you want to make the world a better place with your deep knowledge and experience of advocacy on African political-economic issues?
We are seeking a Regional Manager for Advocacy based in Nairobi (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is also a possibility in the near future) to join our Africa Regional Office (AfRO). You will report to the Regional Director for Africa, maintaining oversight on and leadership of all of the Open Society Foundations (OSF)’ African advocacy.
The Open Society Foundations works to build vibrant and inclusive democracies whose governments are accountable and open to the participation of all people. We are active in more than 120 countries, making us the world’s largest private funder of independent groups working for justice, democratic governance, and human rights.
The Africa Regional Office works at the pan-African level to build a free and democratic Africa, where leaders respect human rights, work to improve citizens’ lives, and are held to account for their actions.

The Regional Manager for Advocacy conducts advocacy in line with AfRO’s strategy and work plan as well as according to the needs of and in partnership with the African foundations and other OSF advocates on Africa.
If appointed, you will provide advice and support to AfRO and African foundations’ staff on advocacy strategising, planning and execution. As the primary coordinator of Africa-related advocacy for OSF, we are seeking someone who will be proactive in engaging with other OSF advocates on Africa, when Africa-related work is considered or implemented, who can also collaborate with other OSF advocates in matters of OSF advocacy policy.
