🌱 What SIGRA is doing: The project helps Ghanaian communities adapt to climate change by funding local, gender-responsive adaptation projects through district assemblies in the Northern and Volta regions, while strengthening women-led civil society organisations’ voice in how those projects are planned and delivered.

💼 In this role, you’d:
🏗️ Support district assemblies to complete climate adaptation projects
🤝 Act as SIGRA’s main link with regional councils, district assemblies, civil society groups and communities
🎓 Coordinate training on public financial management, local governance and accountability

📋 Strong fit if you have:
✅ A university degree in international development, economics, sociology, political science or a related field
✅ 7+ years in project management and community engagement on donor-funded projects
✅ Experience with sub-national government in Ghana (a strong asset)

💚 IMVELO Impact: Climate adaptation works best when the people most affected help decide how the money is spent. This role puts women’s voices and local government at the centre of Ghana’s climate resilience.

📍 Location: Ho, Volta Region, Ghana (with travel in the region and to Accra)
⏰ Deadline: 23 October 2026
