Job purpose summary:
The Project Coordinator will lead the day-to-day implementation of the CLI Pooled Fund, ensuring initiatives are delivered smoothly and on time. While a dedicated accountant manages the core books, the Coordinator ensures that all community-led spending aligns with technical objectives and donor compliance. The role focuses on bridging the gap between community mobilization and rigorous financial accountability.
Key Responsibilities
- Fund Implementation Management: Lead the day-to-day management of CLI Pool Fund activities to achieve planned results.
- Financial Oversight & Coordination: Act as the primary technical reviewer for initiative budgets before they reach the project accountant, ensuring costs are reasonable and justified.
- Cycle Coordination: Facilitate the full CLI cycle: outreach, community engagement, calls for initiatives, and support to applicants in developing realistic budget plans.
- Compliance & Quality Control: Support community groups/CBOs to ensure quality delivery and strict compliance with PARC and donor financial procedures.
- Internal Synergy: Maintain strong coordination with PARC departments, particularly the Finance and Procurement units, to enable smooth fund execution.
- Audit-Ready Documentation: Maintain complete documentation for initiatives, including financial approvals, activity files, and implementation evidence.
- Accountability & Feedback: Ensure that community feedback and complaints regarding fund distribution are managed promptly and according to PARC policies.
- Monitoring & Reporting: Contribute to MEAL processes and prepare timely narrative reports that reflect the financial progress and impact of the initiatives.
Education & Professional Background
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or Business Administration.
- Minimum 2-3 years of proven experience in project coordination, specifically in Grants Management or projects involving community-led funds.
- Demonstrated experience working with rural communities, CBOs, and local committees.
- Solid background in community mobilization and partnership building.
- Strong understanding of Project Cycle Management (PCM) with a focus on budget monitoring and reporting.
Skills & Competencies
- Financial Literacy: Ability to interpret financial data, review budgets, and identify potential compliance risks (without performing primary accounting tasks).
- Advanced Excel Skills: High proficiency in MS Excel for tracking fund allocations and implementation progress.
- Communication: Excellent negotiation and interpersonal skills to manage expectations between the community and the finance department.
- Analytical Thinking: Demonstrated problem-solving ability in adapting financial plans to changing field contexts.
• Language: Proficiency in Arabic and English (written and spoken).
