Full job description

Career with BRAC International

BRAC is an award-winning international non-governmental development organization, with the vision of a world free from all forms of exploitation and discrimination, where everyone has the opportunity to realize their potential. BRAC is a leader in developing and implementing cost-effective, evidence-based programs to assist poor and disadvantaged communities in low-income countries, including in conflict-prone and post-disaster settings. It is an organization of and for the people of the Global South, pioneering new development and social enterprise approaches to equip communities to achieve prosperity. As well as being the world's biggest NGO by the number of staff and people directly reached, BRAC has regularly been ranked the number one NGO in the world by the Geneva-based NGO Advisor, an independent organization committed to highlighting innovation, impact, and governance in the non-profit sector. BRAC retained the top spot in 2020 among the top 500 NGOs for the fifth consecutive year.

BRAC was founded in Bangladesh in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed. It started its first program outside of Bangladesh in Afghanistan in 2002 and has since reached more than 6.5 million people in 11 countries in Africa and Asia. BRAC has a holistic approach to development that uses a wide array of programs that include microfinance, education, health, agriculture, gender, and human rights. BRAC invests in communities’ own human and material resources, catalyzing lasting change and creating an ecosystem in which the poor have the chance to seize control of their own lives.

About the Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative

The Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (“UPGI”) is a global unit of BRAC that was founded in 2016 to build off the success of BRAC’s Ultra-Poor Graduation program in Bangladesh. BRAC UPGI aims to position the Graduation approach as a key driver to eradicate extreme poverty worldwide. It does this by:

• Advocating for uptake of the Graduation approach by policymakers, national governments, multilateral institutions, and non-governmental organizations; and

• Effective adaptation and implementation of the Graduation approach in countries around the world, supported through technical assistance and capacity strengthening for external stakeholders.

In 2002, BRAC pioneered the Ultra-Poor Graduation (“Graduation”) approach in Bangladesh - a holistic intervention to help people lift themselves from extreme poverty - after recognizing that existing poverty alleviation programs were not reaching the poorest people. Through the provision of livelihood assets, cash transfers, and continued mentoring and training, the Graduation approach addresses participants’ multidimensional needs within the local context and helps lift people from extreme poverty into sustainable livelihoods.

Graduation is an evidence-based, scalable intervention proven to break the poverty trap for the long term. So far, BRAC’s flagship Graduation program has impacted over 2 million Bangladeshi households—totaling over 9 million people. To help eradicate extreme poverty, BRAC UPGI is working to scale globally by integrating Graduation into existing government programs and help 21 million more people lift themselves from extreme poverty by 2030.

About the Position

BRAC’s Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI) seeks to hire a Program Director to spearhead BRAC UPGI’s work in the Philippines. The role will offer strategic leadership to UPGI’s country team in the Philippines in their partnerships with governments and other key partners involved in the design and implementation of government led graduation programme(s). Currently, BRAC UPGI has developed key partnerships with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Department of Management and Budget (DMB) and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

We are looking for candidates with substantial knowledge and experience working with governments, who are interested in thinking outside the box, and who are excited to explore how the current model of graduation can be adapted and scaled by the Government of the Philippines.

The graduation approach has been piloted twice in the Philippines (through partnerships between BRAC Philippines, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and the Asian Development Bank ADB). These pilots have proven that the graduation approach can help to catalyse transformative change for people living in poverty in the Philippines. However, to date, neither pilots have been taken to scale. It is clear that evidence that the graduation approach works to reduce extreme poverty is necessary, but not sufficient to persuade and enable large scale Government led graduation programmes; that more is needed to understand how this multi-faceted approach can be adapted and implemented at scale, within the Government’s available human and financial resources and still deliver meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of participants.

A member of UPGI’s Senior Leadership Team, and reporting to UPGI’s Executive Leadership Team, the Program Director for the Philippines will lead and manage BRAC UPGI’s country strategy - engaging partners, including governments, multilateral and bilateral institutions on issues of extreme poverty; supporting the co-design of high quality government led graduation programmes, and ensuring government partners are able to access and leverage support and technical assistance from BRAC and other civil society organizations and development actors. This role will have the opportunity to be creative in delivering on this strategy, including but not limited to building new partnerships and strategic scaling opportunities, and will be supported with BRAC UPGI’s global support units (Operations, Policy and Partnerships, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning, and Program Design and Impact).

This position will be based in Manila and will work closely with BRAC UPGI team members based in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Responsibilities

o Assess opportunities to work directly with Local Government Units (LGUs) with high levels of extreme poverty and enhance locally led poverty alleviation programs.

• Cultivate and manage partnerships with the government (at multiple levels), multi/bi-laterals, donors, and private sector actors.

• Create stakeholder engagement strategies that drive the overarching country strategy in coordination with UPGI’s technical support units.

Country Engagement

• Actively engage in government consultations and working groups, multi- and bi-lateral working groups, and civil society working groups related to poverty reduction, economic inclusion, and social protection to build partnerships and influence.

• Identify policy asks for governments and develop policy briefs to support national scale-up of Graduation, including where and how the Graduation can be integrated into new or existing government policies/programs.

• Identify, explore, and pursue partnership opportunities and entry points for scaling the Graduation approach within the Philippines more broadly with many potential stakeholders, including government, CSOs, media, peer agencies, think tanks, and other research organizations.

• Manage and oversee the implementation of BRAC UPGI’s USAID Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) program in partnership with DOLE, DSWD and other actors to deliver the Graduation approach to 15,000 households over the next three years and build the basis for further scale through government programs and systems.Support government capacity building and training efforts for local government service providers on crucial Graduation topics to address skills and capacity gaps (monitoring, evaluation, livelihood development, and beneficiary targeting, for example).

• Support country engagement team members liaising with and advising national and local government and multilateral institution partners such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and various UN agencies on the design, delivery, evaluation, and promotion of impactful Graduation and other economic inclusion approaches integrated into social protection systems nationally.
