GOAL Uganda’s country programme focuses on two of three of GOAL’S stra¬tegic sectors namely, Health (including WASH and HIV) and Livelihoods. In the Livelihoods sector, GOAL Uganda will be implementing a collaborative project focusing on building productive assets at the community level through a Cash for Work (CFW) approach in the Abim District in the Central region of Karamoja. This project will directly address the
overall objective of the Karamoja Livelihood Programme (KALIP) to “protect and enhance the incomes and food security of agro-pastoral communities and support them in building up their own productive asset base” and the specific objective “productive assets built through labour intensive works and capital injected in the local economy”. GOAL is committed to the safety and protection of children in our care from intentional and unintentional harm. Candidates will therefore be expected to comply with GOAL Uganda’s child protection policy. GOAL reserves the right to reject any application from a candidate who is currently employed by a local partner organization.
