Job Purpose:
Helen Keller International (HKI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and improving the sight and lives of the world’s vulnerable by combatting the causes and consequences of blindness, poor health, and malnutrition. HKI is implementing the Suaahara II Program (SP2), a 5-year, USAID-funded program aimed at improving the nutritional status of women and children in forty under-served rural districts of Nepal.
The position will be responsible for the day to day grants and financial operations functions for the SP II sub-awards. The Grants & Finance Coordinator shall work under the direct supervision of Sr. Manager Grants & Compliance to carry out all functions specified in this ToR. The position will ensure that HKI complies with relevant laws, rules, and regulations, whether internal or external. Provide guidance and coach district finance officers to meet the reporting requirement and deadline. Ensure proper integration of GESI aspects into sector-specific program planning and implementation working closely with GESI officers.
Overall Responsibilities:
The position is responsible for ensuring HKI’s best practices are upheld, including adherence to the code of conduct, policies and procedures, financial accountability and making sure official matters are kept confidential.
Ensuring quality is a primary objective of HKI’s programming, and monitoring and evaluation oversight is a requirement of all coordinators to achieve the best outcomes possible.
As gender and social inclusion (GESI) is a cross-cutting and core component for HKI programs, all personnel are required to ensure GESI sensitivity and integration where they work.
