Nigeria AGI
The Africa Governance Initiative (AGI)is working for a future in which Africa’s development is led by Africans, with governments that are capable of setting and achieving priorities that reflect the rising aspirations and expectations of their citizens. To achieve this vision, we provide practical advice and support to help African leaders to bridge the gap between their vision for a better future and the capacity of their governments to achieve it. We work with countries – currently Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda and Guinea but with plans for growth – that are at turning points and where we have had an invitation from the Head of Government to provide capacity development support.
AGI is now seeking exceptional individuals to join our organisation across a number of Africa- and UK-based roles. Salaryand package for each position will vary, but will be competitive within the international charitable sector.
Nigeria
AGI are partneringwith the Government of Nigeria in order to support the establishment of a new ‘Transformation Unit’ within the Federal Ministry of Finance. The Transformation Unit will provide support to the Economic Management Implementation Team, a key Ministerial committee reporting to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy. The new Unit will be charged with putting in place the key aspects of President Goodluck Jonathan’s “transformation agenda” for Nigeria; particularly around power, agriculture, and economic reform. The Unit will provide effective secretariat support to the Committee and its Chair, establish effective systems for the monitoring of priority programmes, and work collaboratively with sector ministries to identify and remove policy blockages. The Transformation Unit will be permanently staffed by Government of Nigeria public servants – AGI is looking for a first class team to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Government counterparts through the initial set-up phase.
We are recruiting for up to 4 AGI positions to support this unit for 6-12 months. All positions will start March-May. The roles will be based full time in Abuja and direct experience of the Nigerian system is preferred.
Experience and Competences
In addition to specific and relevant experience, all candidates will need to demonstrate the following:
• Leadership and awareness of organisational design
• Building and managing effective relationships, including the ability to navigate complex political environments
• Influencing and coaching and delivering change through others
• Management and delivery, including excellent project management skills
• Strategic planning and decision-making
• Analysis and use of evidence
• A creative and entrepreneurial approach to overcoming barriers and making change happen, and the ability to cope in emotionally demanding environments
• Above all, high levels of enthusiasm, resilience, and a can-do attitude
• Experience of living and working in developing countries is desirable but not essential.
