JOB DETAILS:

Advisor for Resource Mobilisation at horizont3000

horizont3000 works with partner organisations in Uganda in the areas of human rights - civil societies, and sustainable livelihoods. While most funding has traditionally come from European donors, there is a growing trend of local fundraising and decentralised donor support, offering new opportunities for direct funding access. However, many Ugandan NGOs lack the necessary skills, structures, and tools for professional fundraising and effective communication with donors and stakeholders. Their funding remains largely project-based and therefore unsustainable. In response to increasing partner requests, horizont3000 will place an advisor in Kampala. This advisor will support multiple partner organisations in strengthening their fundraising and communication strategies, aiming to build long-term financial sustainability.

Your Tasks

•  provide strategic guidance in the design and implementation of effective resource mobilisation and donor engagement strategies
• develop practical manuals and toolkits that enhance institutional capacity in resource mobilisation and donor communication
• offer organisational consulting to strengthen internal systems, processes, and structures for sustainable and professional fundraising
• track and assess the impact of resource mobilisation initiatives, and generate insightful recommendations to inform strategic direction
• support partners in crafting compelling proposals, with a focus on integrating gender mainstreaming into all resource mobilisation efforts
• design and deliver tailored training materials and workshops to build local capacity in resource mobilisation best practices
• facilitate peer-learning events and training sessions that foster knowledge exchange and collaboration among NGOs in the sector
• advise on and promote innovative fundraising approaches, including tapping into opportunities with foundations, social enterprises, and alternative funding streams

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration, NGO Management, Economics, Public Relations, Social Sciences, or a closely related field
• proven track record in resource mobilisation within NGOs or comparable roles in the non-profit sector
• experience in marketing, sponsorship, or key account management is highly valued
• hands-on experience in designing and facilitating workshops, with strong knowledge of capacity-building methodologies such as peer learning, coaching, and mentoring
• a highly organized, proactive, and diplomatic mindset, capable of independently driving initiatives while fostering collaboration
• in-depth familiarity with EU proposal writing processes and donor compliance requirements
• experience in working with social enterprises 
• willingness to travel as needed
• a deep sense of respect, empathy, and cultural sensitivity, especially when working with faith-based organisations and NGOs
• for the South2South assignment we are looking for a specialist from Kenya or Tanzania
