About the Gulmakai Network: Launched in 2017, Malala Fund’s Gulmakai Network supports advocates and activists who work towards 12 years of quality, safe and free education for every girl. Local education champions understand challenges in their communities and are best placed to identify, innovate and advocate for policy and practice solutions. However, these champions often lack the funding, support networks and opportunities to collaborate that can increase their impact. The Gulmakai Network seeks to fill this gap by investing in and connecting girls’ education advocates to each other and to the tools, training and partners to spark social and systemic change. At present, the programme consists of approximately 40 Champions organised in country “chapters” (Afghanistan, Brazil, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey). The programme has ambitious growth plans, with a target of expanding to an additional 10 countries in the next five years, including Ethiopia in early 2020.

About the role:  The Gulmakai Network Programme Manager is responsible for expanding and curating a vibrant network of education advocates and activists (“Champions”). Along with other staff, the successful candidate will lead efforts to select new Champions, strengthen Champions’ individual technical, advocacy and leadership capacities, and enhance Champion profiles and influence. They will also support work to create advocacy agendas for national chapters of Champions and curate the global Gulmakai Network to increase its cohesion and effectiveness for change, particularly around funding for education, education quality and shifts in social norms preventing girls from completing their education. The Programme Manager is an integral member of the Programmes Department and also liaises regularly across other Malala Fund teams.
