Background
Rikolto is an international network organisation committed to contributing to sustainable food systems that ensure healthy food for all, thriving ecosystems, resilient livelihoods, and economic prosperity. To support its mission, Rikolto has established Regional Advisory Boards to provide strategic guidance, expertise, and oversight in alignment with the organisation’s goals and values.
The Regional Advisory Board (RAB) serves as a consultative body, offering strategic advice to the Regional Management Team (RMT) to enhance the effectiveness, transparency, and impact of Rikolto’s programmes. The Board does not have governing power but plays a crucial role in shaping strategy, supporting innovation, and strengthening regional networks.
We are inviting visionary leaders to join our Regional Advisory Board – a dynamic group that provides strategic guidance, shares expertise, and amplifies Rikolto’s impact.
Key Responsibilities
• Shaping strategy & innovation – Advising on regional programme direction, policies, and new opportunities
• Expanding networks & influence – Connecting Rikolto with key partners, funders, and thought leaders to extend our reach and impact
• Ensuring transparency & accountability – Championing good governance and promoting effectiveness in our work
• Bringing regional perspectives into global decisions – Contributing vital regional insights to the International Board’s strategic discussions
Composition & Membership
• The RAB of Rikolto East Africa will consist of 3 to 6 individuals with complementary expertise in agriculture, food systems, economics, sustainability, governance, fundraising, and policy advocacy.
• Members will reflect diversity in geography, gender, and professional background and must not have any financial ties to Rikolto to avoid conflicts of interest.
• One member will be the current regional representative of Rikolto’s International Board of Directors and will serve as Chairperson for the first three years. After this period, the members will elect a new Chairperson.
• The Chairperson will serve as a liaison between the RAB and the International Board, ensuring regional perspectives inform global decision-making.
