Position Summary
Interpeace has been supporting a
peacebuilding programme in Burundi since 2006/2007 and in Rwanda since 2002.
Since 2011, Interpeace has been building up a regional peacebuilding programme
that will cover Burundi, Rwanda and DR Congo’s North and South Kivu provinces.
This led to the need to recruit a new Finance Assistant who will focus on
covering the Rwanda and Burundi programmes as well as the regional
peacebuilding programme.
The Finance Assistant is a member of the finance team for Interpeace’s work in
the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa and will work under the supervision of
the Regional Finance and Administration Manager and in close collaboration with
the Finance Officer, as well as with the Great Lakes programmatic team, most
closely with the Programme Officers for the regional programme (POGL) as well
as for the Burundi and Rwanda programmes (PORW).
The Finance Assistant serves as the key focal point regarding bookkeeping and
accounting matters between Interpeace and the local partner organizations in
the programme countries. The Finance Assistant will maintain the financial
systems and carry out the day to day bookkeeping requirements of the Interpeace
programmes in the Great Lakes region specifically, and the regional office
generally as required. The Finance Assistant will report directly to the
Regional Finance and Administration Manager. This post is based in Nairobi but
requires frequent travel to the field. The position is for a period of 1 year
with a possibility of extension based upon demonstrated performance and
continued funding.
