In line with MSI’s new global 10-year strategy, MSI2030, MSI’s country programmes (CPs) have developed national strategic plans that outline their goals and business objectives. Building relationships with existing and new donors, mapping opportunities for funding, and creating new partnerships will be essential to ensure adequate funding is available to achieving the goals of MSI2030.
The Regional Fundraising Manager will play a significant role in working with MSI regional teams and CPs to develop, improve and implement country-level fundraising strategies, and positioning with donors and potential partners to influence and build new grant funding opportunities. The role will have a strong capacity transfer and training function, working closely with regional teams to analyse regional strategies and funding gaps, disseminate learning, and build communities of practice. The Regional Fundraising Manager will also work with MSI’s government and foundation donor leads to leverage MSI’s global donor engagement strategies to maximise opportunities for bilateral funding opportunities.
MSI CPs capacity to frame our work, develop messaging and presentation materials and manage relationships with donors varies across the Partnership. To maintain and increase MSI’s funding base, CPs’ will increase their engagement with donors and partners at country level and develop the relationships, messaging and materials necessary to communicate the value add of MSI’s work. This role will be key in improving country-level fundraising and embedding a fundraising culture and skills at country level within the MSI partnership.
We want individuals who support our mission of eliminating unsafe abortion by 2030 and who work with us to build an enabling environment to increase access to safe services everywhere.
