Director for the Middle East and North Africa Programme
Transparency International (TI) is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 90 Chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, Germany, TI raises awareness of the damaging effects of corruption and works with partners in government, business and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it.
Background
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has entered a new era where the public in these countries is calling for citizenship. They are reframing their relationship with their own governments, and at huge risk if need be. They want to be an active partner in designing new constitutions, laws and policy-making. The public in the MENA region is inherently aware that changing the way governments run their administrations and increasing accountability are imperative in improving the economic and social fabric of society. Fighting corruption and promoting transparency are key elements in this equation. Corruption hinders institutional reforms and has a detrimental effect on the wellbeing of millions of people across the region.
Transparency International has recently launched a large scale programme for the region, the TI MENA Programme. This programme focuses on Civil Society Organisation (CSO) empowerment, supporting the momentum that currently exists in the MENA region with TI know-how, tools and solutions. In this process, TI reaches out to new partners while deepening its work with existing partners, providing them with additional tools to ensure that successes on the anti-corruption front are sustainable and replicable.
The Transparency International Secretariat (TI-S) in Berlin is now seeking a Director for the Middle East and North Africa Programme.
Main function
Reporting to the Group Director, the Director leads and manages the MENA Programme team and provides programmatic, organisational development, advocacy and accreditation support to Chapters in conformance with strategic goals defined in the TI Strategy 2015 and the TI-S five-year implementation plan. The Director stimulates, leads, oversees and supports continuous enhancement and improvement to the work, reputation, and anti-corruption impact of Chapters, emerging contacts and partners in the assigned MENA Region. The MENA Programme Director also supports the work of the Regional Programme Manager and Regional Outreach Manager, who will report directly to him/her.
