Amref Health Africa’s Headquarters are in Nairobi and Amref works in 35 countries to improve access to healthcare and to help create an environment that is conducive to good health. Amref’s programmes focus on: child health and nutrition; communicable and non-communicable diseases; health financing; maternal, newborn health; neglected tropical diseases; sexual and reproductive health and rights; and water, sanitation and hygiene. Our programmes align with our Global Strategy objectives: to increase primary healthcare access for all, and to address the social determinants of health, such as access to education, gender, and the impacts of climate change.
Amref Health Africa UK is an independent UK-registered NGO that exists to support the programme and policy activities of Amref Health Africa.

You will build on and develop existing relationships with these funding partners to increase income through larger funding amounts covering longer periods and take forward new funding opportunities that arise from our existing partnerships, supporters, and networks.
You will provide project management and technical support across several health projects across Sub-Saharan Africa, including in the design of new projects, proposal writing, programme and financial management of current projects, supporting monitoring and evaluation of programmes and managing relationships with Amref technical and in-country teams in Africa.
