Description de l'offre

Title:  Administrative Financial Coordinator

Location: Dakar, Senegal

Improving Economies for Stronger Communities (IESC) is a leading U.S. nonprofit organization that catalyzes private sector growth and creates economic opportunity for people and communities across the economically developing world. Since our founding in 1964, we have delivered lasting solutions across 139 countries.

IESC is a valued partner to people and communities. We share proven business skills and experience with entrepreneurs, jobseekers, businesses, farmers, cooperatives, and governments. We also offer resources—human, technological, financial—that sustainably build capacity and empower communities. Our long legacy of strengthening economies is matched by our vision for the next generation: a world with economic opportunity for all, where people and communities thrive. Our major funders today are the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), among others.

IESC is implementing the USAID Youth Development Activity in Senegal. The objective of the program is to provide both technical and social solutions to youth un- and underemployment, ultimately leading to youth’s greater access to productive economic resources and improved livelihoods. The program will achieve this by (1) linking youth to the skills, assistance, and resources needed to pursue employment or entrepreneurship (via self-employment) in agriculture, and (2) strengthening the capacity of local training and service providers so that they can sustainably and effectively deliver improved youth training and support programs. The program prioritizes interventions under two intermediate results:

Sub IR 1: Enhance capacity and increase access to incubators and training centers

Sub IR 2: Increase youth awareness of economic opportunities

The Administrative and Financial Coordinator will support with a variety of financial and administrative activities. S/he will support the Administrative Financial Manager with accounts payable, reconciling vendor invoices, travel reports and advances, and maintaining a consistency and compliant filing system- this includes ensuring grantee files and subaward files are complete and organized. The Administrative and Financial Coordinator will report directly to the Administrative Financial Manager but maintain a line of coordination with the Grants Coordinator.
