    The Project Director will be responsible for the strategic direction, implementation, and management of the program, ensuring alignment with SHOFCO's mission and delivery against project milestones and goals.

    Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including community leaders in SUN (SHOFCO's national network), partner organizations, and government agencies, to enhance program impact and sustainability.


    Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning:

    In partnership with SHOFCO's Impact team, drive performance against a robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework to track program progress, assess effectiveness, and inform ongoing improvements.
