Summary
Date Posted: Tuesday, November 14 2023, Base Salary: Not Disclosed

JOB DETAILS:
The key project the consultant will lead on will be the set-up and initiation of a new fund for participatory grant making by and for women-led disability justice organisations in three countries in Africa: Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.

The key tasks for the consultant include the following:
• Establish and run the panel selection process for the Participatory Fund for women-led disability justice organisations in three countries.
• Support the panel to design the key aspects of the fund and then lead their set up and operation.
• Work with our finance team to help us finalise the budget for the fund and to document learning from this.
• Contribute to the work of our internal group on ADD’s new participatory grant making organisational guidelines and systems.
• Help us think about the accompaniment support that is provided alongside the grants.
• Document your approach so that ADD can learn from it.
• Virtually support the grant making mechanism we are currently running in Sudan as needed.
• Exchange learning with those leading other participatory grant making pilots in ADD.

Ideal characteristics.
• Lived experience of disability.
• Experience in building and running participatory grant making processes, ideally in Africa.
• Commitment to recognise and support persons with disabilities as dynamic agents of change, including those often excluded even within disability movements, so that they drive grant making design and decision-making and ADD’s systems match their rights and needs.
• Commitment to approaches that seek to support collaborative approaches, movement strengthening and transformative change (rather than a lot of separate short-term projects).
• Experience of running participatory grant making/group decision making ‘virtually’ on-line especially across people in different countries, potentially with different language and communication profiles.
