    About Job


    The Research and Learning Department of the Mastercard Foundation implements partnerships and activities that seek to generate knowledge products and evidence to support the Foundation's strategies and programs.

    Knowledge and expertise generated through research remain the bedrock of the Foundation to drive data-driven and creative interventions to magnify impact and realize the objectives of the strategy.

    The Research and Learning Department anchors the research needs of the different programs within the Foundation to assure quality programming, relevance and consistency with Foundation's values and the principles of its Research Strategy.


    The work of the Research and Learning Department is implemented through five (5) pillars: Strategic Research, Program Research, Research Systems Strengthening, Knowledge Mobilization and Program Learning.

    All the pillars are aligned with the Mastercard Foundation's core values that have a strong commitment to ensuring that:

    Research is strategic and applied for uptake and Impact.
    Knowledge generation is rooted in co-creation and seeks to amplify historically marginalized voices. Hence, research requires deep engagement and ownership by individuals, communities, institutions, and nations. We seek to accompany Indigenous and African stakeholders as they amplify their knowledge and voices through research.
    Research methods are ethical, rigorous and are respectful of culture and context. Research methods are selected according to learning questions and must uphold the dignity and ethics of individuals and communities. Respect for both culture and context are central to our work.
    Approaches to research and learning are non-extractive and promote reciprocity and restitution.

    Research is about ethical stewardship and custodianship and engagement with communities to take back knowledge and for validation is promoted.

    Learning is co-created, easy to apply, current, relevant, and targeted the Foundation's' and partner needs.
