GATSBY’S WORK IN AFRICA

Gatsby has worked to create jobs, raise incomes and build opportunities for people in Africa since 1985.We are currently focused on East Africa, where economies have enjoyed high growth for more than a decade, but where the benefits of that growth have not been shared widely. With millions of young people joining the labour market each year and climate change adding further pressures, East Africa urgently needs economic transformation – growth with depth that will radically change economies, rapidly create jobs and offer large numbers of people pathways out of poverty.

We aim to support this by demonstrating how high-potential sectors – such as commercial forestry in Tanzania – can be transformed to benefit more people for the long-term. We fund and implement programmes that look to catalyse and influence large-scale and lasting change in priority sectors. We build and support local organisations dedicated to sector transformation. We also share what we are learning with others – such as governments and donors – who share our goals.

Our programmes include:

  • Tanzanian Cotton & Textiles: Rapidly creating tens of thousands of decent textiles jobs while ensuring more than 500,000 cotton farmers can access the quality inputs and training they need to improve agronomy, increase yields and raise quality.
  • Tanzanian Forestry: Building a vibrant commercial forestry sector that underpins downstream wood and energy industries and delivers widespread economic, social and environmental benefits to Tanzanian citizens.
  • Kenyan Forestry: Introducing innovative technologies and models to transform Kenya’s commercial forestry sector, protect the environment and benefit millions of Kenyan citizens.
  • Tanzanian Tea: Triggering domestic and foreign investment by building partnerships and demonstrating innovative models that boost the profits of farmers and factories and see
    benefits shared more equitably.
  • Rwandan Tea: Trialling new ownership structures and methods of supporting farmers to allow the sector to fulfil its world-class potential, while ensuring smallholders benefit from its growth. We have also developed and continue to support two independent organisations dedicated to sector transformation in the region, and governed, managed and staffed by East Africans: Kenya Markets Trust (which runs programmes in three key Kenyan sectors), and the regional industry development organisation Msingi, which works in aquaculture and textiles & apparel.

The Role

The Head of Finance and Operations for the Tanzania Branch will play several crucial roles. The position will be responsible for financial and operational leadership, delivery, enhancing branch and organisational communications, and contributing to branch and programme decision-making, including providing strategic guidance on all operational matters. The Head of Finance and Operations will lead the day-to-day operations and finance function (finance, HR, health, safety and security, collaborations, logistics and procurement, IT and technology). This will include managing the branch’s Senior Operations and Finance staff and supporting their development, plus collaborating on relevant cross-cutting initiatives with our offices in Nairobi and London. The position will also manage operational risk and reporting on behalf of the branch.
