Helen Keller International


JOB ANNOUNCEMENT


Country Director, Democratic Republic Congo

(Kinshasa, DRC)


Guided by the remarkable legacy of its co-founder, Helen Keller, Helen Keller Intl partners with communities striving to overcome longstanding cycles of poverty. By focusing on improving food systems and strengthening health systems, and delivering the essential building blocks of good health, sound nutrition, and clear vision, we help millions of people create lasting change in their own lives. Working in more than 20 countries – across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the United States – and together with a global community of supporters, we are ensuring every person has the opportunity – as Helen did – to reach their true potential.


We are currently seeking a Country Director (CD) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to represent Helen Keller, develop new programs, expand our programming and scale, and lead the country office and its programs in a manner that reflects our mission and values and ensures technical excellence in the delivery of all activities.


Country Program Overview


With support from generous donors who made a substantial multiple-year commitment, Helen Keller re-opened the country office in Kinshasa in early 2021. We started by launching a Vitamin A Supplementation program that supported the Ministry of Health and the national nutrition program (PRONANUT) to design, implement and monitor Vitamin A Supplementation for children under the age of five in 13 provinces in DRC (half of the country). We expect to build on this foundation to expand our vibrant nutrition program portfolio to serve the needs of the people of DRC. We also aim to expand our programming in Neglected Tropical Diseases and Eye Health.


Functional Relationships


The CD reports directly to the Regional Director Eastern, Southern & Central Africa and leads the Country Management Team (CMT). The position directly supervises the Director of Programs and the Director of Operations, works closely with colleagues at all levels of Helen Keller’s global management structure, and may be called upon to participate in global working groups or steering committees. Helen Keller has a matrixed reporting structure. Regular communication and a spirit of teamwork among colleagues, both hierarchically and laterally, are essential to make this structure thrive.


Helen Keller’s programs require close relations with governments, partner universities and NGOs, civil society organizations, private industry, donors, and UN agencies. The CD will represent Helen Keller at relevant external meetings.


Scope of the Position:


The Country Director provides strategic leadership and develops action plans that further the mission of Helen Keller and meet the evolving conditions in DRC. The position is responsible for ensuring technical and operational excellence in delivering all activities to achieve the objectives established in grants and strategic plans and representing Helen Keller to disseminate findings and secure and expand funding for project activities in DRC.
