Background Summary
Institutions for Inclusive Development (I4ID) programme is a five-year project (2016-2021) funded by UKAid and IrishAid, main purpose being strengthening democratic institutions and governance in Tanzania so that they are more inclusive and accountable, and economic growth provides more benefits for poor people.
The programme has two linked outcomes:
1) Key democratic institutions have more capacity, and are more accountable and inclusive; and
2) Government, civil society and the private sector collectively put into practice institutional arrangements that promote public interests.
Together these contribute to the impact: more accountable and inclusive Tanzanian political and government institutions.
The Head Contract is held by Palladium International Ltd, while local implementation is managed by Palladium Group (Tanzania) Limited. Palladium Group (Tanzania) Limited is a legal entity registered in Tanzania that falls within the Palladium group of companies.
Programme overview and role
Palladium Group (Tanzania) Limited is seeking a dynamic individual to play a key role in an
exciting new programme in Tanzania, Institutions for Inclusive Development (I4ID), which recently started its implementation phase and is running until 2021. I4ID is applying new and innovative approaches to facilitate solutions for Tanzanian development that benefit the largest number of people possible – including the poor and most vulnerable in society – through inclusive growth and better public services. The programme is designed to address some of the fundamental governance challenges for inclusive development including coordination failures and systemic weaknesses in policy formulation and administration. We bring stakeholders together to develop an informed and shared understanding of their collective interest, providing technical support, research, analysis, and facilitation around issues of critical interest to the Government of Tanzania and other stakeholders. I4ID will offer support to government, private sector, parliamentary institutions, and civil society to engage in working towards a more inclusive Tanzania.
I4ID is looking for a Local Coordinator to manage the process of progressive, participatory problem identification and facilitation of collective solutions.
