Search for Common Ground (Search) is an international peacebuilding organization specializing in conflict transformation. Since 1982, we have been running programs around the world to help societies move from adversarial approaches towards collaborative solutions. Search’s work is recognized globally, as evidenced by our nomination for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. Today, our programs cover more than 30 countries, with over 900 staff, 95% of whom are locally recruited, working with artists, media professionals, private sector and security actors, political, religious and community leaders to build a sustainable and viable infrastructure for peace. Through our extensive work with more than 313 radio stations and 26 television stations around the world, we estimate that we have reached almost 40 million people in many of the world’s most difficult conflicts.
Search has been present in Burundi since 1995. With a main office in Bujumbura our 12 staff currently implement three projects and programs. Some of the areas of intervention in Burundi include women’s economic empowerment, youth empowerment, conflict prevention, social cohesion, and governance.
Job Overview
Search is seeking a Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) for an anticipated five year, USAID-funded project in Burundi that will advance land certification and women’s economic empowerment in Ngozi. The DCOP position is the second most senior position in the project and is primarily responsible for the operational aspects of the program with expertise in local capacity strengthening. He/she will ensure compliance with Search policies and USAID requirements for procurement, financial program reporting, records management and financial accountability. The DCOP is also responsible for ensuring that Search complies with all local laws, rules and regulations. The DCOP will work under the supervision of the COP, but will also work closely with the Search’s Institutional Learning Team to ensure best practices are adhered to in terms of tailoring training modules and plans to local partners and organizations.
While not directly responsible for overseeing activity development, the DCOP is expected to have a good understanding of the programmatic aspects of the program and be prepared to step in as needed to assist the COP and other program staff with the activity development, while keeping abreast of developments in the local political, legal, and economic situation and continually adapting the program.
