Job Description
About the
Organization
Swaniti Initiative is a social
enterprise that is working at the intersection of climate, governance and last
mile delivery. We believe that while the willingness and resources exist, there
are fundamental gaps in the execution within communities that is the biggest
crisis in the climate movement. Accordingly, Swaniti works with sub national
governments to conduct micro planning exercises with consultations with
community and key stakeholders to understand the pathways forward, provide
technical assistance to sub national governments to provide support in program
implementation and support in monitoring and delivery of programs.
Swaniti has been working
across multiple geographies in the global south to unlock capital. Our three-core
metrics include unlocking public capital, ensuring last mile communities are
directly benefited and creating systemic changes in the public service systems.
While we are continuing to focus on impact, it is critical to have a lead who
has a deep understanding about monitoring, evaluation and learning. Our
intention is to create an institutional capability to measure and document the
scale of our impact and look at how learning can be replicated across the
institution.
