The Mozambique Country Programme (Financial Oversight).
WFD has an established programme in Mozambique which is focussed on strengthening the Parliament of Mozambique’s financial oversight role. The programme is doing this through building the Parliament’s capacity to conduct effective oversight, hold the Government to account and provide financial advice through the Parliament’s Unit for Economic, Financial and Budget Studies which is acting as a Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO). For example, the Unit for Economic, Financial and Budget Studies has been providing analysis on Bills related to public finances and the economy of the country and there have been frequent request for products to allow Members of Parliament (MPs) to make informed decisions.
Advancing Inclusive and Accountable Democracy in the Commonwealth’ Programme WFD is the lead implementer of this global programme which will run – led by WFD London – from 2018-2019. This programme has two objectives: (i) greater inclusion through women’s political empowerment and greater political engagement of young people, persons living with disabilities, people from religious minorities, and the LGBT+ community; (ii) greater accountability through more effective and transparent parliaments and better financial oversight, including through stronger Public Accounts Committees.
The Mozambique Finance Officer will play a critical role in assisting WFD’s Mozambique office to meet the objectives of all WFD Mozambique programmes and ensure an accountable and accurate approach. This role is responsible for the accurate and efficient management of financial procedures and for ensuring excellent communication on, and co-ordination of, these requirements with stakeholders (for example stakeholders in Parliament, political parties, FCO, WFD colleagues in the UK and overseas). As a small team, the Finance Officer will also be required to support the CR in logistical and administrative tasks and in the delivery of programme activities as required. The Finance Officer is therefore expected to be able to work on a variety of tasks, be flexible and possess good time management and prioritization skills.
This is a locally based field role and therefore the successful candidate must have eligibility to work in the relevant location.
The appointment will be made on merit based on fair and open competition.
