SUMMARY DESCRIPTION


The Ford Foundation's Andean Region office seeks a dynamic, innovative Program Officer to be part of a team that is driving and shaping the foundation's social justice work in the Andean region.

Reporting to the regional director, the Program Officer will support the implementation of Ford's

Andean Region Office strategy

and the broader social justice goals of the Foundation globally.

The Andean Region strategy focuses on:
natural resources and climate change, and peace and polarization. Geographically Ford's focus is mainly on Colombia and Peru.

This role will primarily support the Foundation's emerging work on the special initiative on peace and polarization, in close coordination with the global strategy of

Civic Engagement and Government

  • The PO will also lead initiatives to establish multistakeholder protection efforts and resilience mechanisms for social justice leaders under threat and in danger; to contribute to peace building efforts; to enhance the rights to memory and truth of victims; and also to advance office and regional efforts on Gender, Racial and Ethnic Justice, contributing to foundationwide efforts centering gender, as well ensuring an intersectional approach based on racial justice.

BACKGROUND
Addressing inequality is a key focus of the Ford Foundation globally.

The Andean region includes some of the most unequal countries in the world, which rely heavily on commodities for their economies, with a strong emphasis on extractive industries.

This has caused a serious impact on equal access to wealth and the environment, considering that Colombia and Peru share a significant portion of the Amazon basin and extensive natural protected areas.

Indigenous peoples face particular challenges in preserving their collective territorial rights, and together with Afro descendant peoples, have to endure a long history of racial and ethnic discrimination.


Colombia and Peru, and the surrounding region, also face acute problems of how to deal with a history of violence and neglect for marginalized communities.

Both nations suffered the impact of internal armed conflict, and the continuing threat of transnational criminal actors and massive illegal economies, linked to mining, extortion, drug trafficking and, more recently, massive migration.

After eight years, the peace process in Colombia, while it ended a historic war, has failed to produce the dividends for communities in order to sustain peace and prosperity.

Peru suffers from one of its most acute political and social crises, aggravated by a dire polarization and one of the weakest political systems in the continent.

Efforts to produce viable and meaningful dialogue are essential, but with a strong focus on how to expand the decision making processes and mechanisms to those who suffer from historic discrimination and neglect.


In all its programs, the Foundation strives to work with critical stakeholders and partners in government, civil society, private sector and the donor community including local philanthropies in the region.


RESPONSIBILITIES


The Program Officer is responsible for the development and implementation of a grant portfolio and ensuring all related activities (grant making, convenings, thought leadership, civil society strengthening, government relations) are designed to deliver on the Andean Office peace and polarization and CEG goals and strategies.

They will assess and analyze the landscape of organizations and identify which actors to work with to shape agendas that would promote specific strategic outcomes and make grants to this end.

The Program Officer shares lessons with Foundation colleagues worldwide; collaborates broadly with the Andean region office team; collaborates with other members of the global teams; and serves as a 'connector' of grantees.

They work with leaders in a variety of sectors on issues of common concern to leverage resources towards common goals.

More specifically as part of a multi-disciplinary team, the Andean Region Program Officer will:

  • Manage, monitor and coordinate a grants portfolio, including: annual grant planning, identifying and working with the Foundation's grantees to develop proposals for grant recommendations, undertaking periodic reviews of progress with grantees, performing grantee site visits, and reviewing financial and narrative reports from grantees.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development and implementation of team strategies, working to fulfill the Foundation's Andean Region Office special initiative on peace and polarization and the international Civic Engagement and Government (CEG) program goals.
  • Develop grant making activities in a team-oriented way, t
