This includes day-to-day program management, budget monitoring and tracking, timely delivery of activities, and quality donor reporting, while maintaining the highest standards of program quality, accountability, and safeguarding.

As the PM, you will support compliance with established monitoring and evaluation systems, work plans, and technical program quality standards, in accordance with donor and GoH requirements, and escalate significant risks or issues to your supervisor. You will develop and maintain strong working relationships with local government and implementing partners, coordinate vendor relationships, and monitor work orders covering fleet management, incident management, and other contracted services to support operational continuity.
