Program Lead - Skilling

About the Organization

Swaniti Initiative is a social enterprise that works at the intersection of climate, governance and last mile delivery. We believe that while the will and resources exist, there are fundamental gaps in execution within communities that is the biggest crisis in the climate movement. Accordingly, Swaniti works with sub national governments to conduct micro-planning exercises with consultations with communities and key stakeholders to understand the pathways forward, provide technical assistance to sub national governments to provide support in program implementation and support in monitoring and delivery of programs.

Swaniti has been working across multiple geographies in the global south to unlock capital. Our three core metrics include unlocking public capital, ensuring last mile communities are directly benefited and creating systemic changes in the public service systems. While we are continuing to focus on impact, it is critical to have a lead who has a deep understanding about monitoring, evaluation and learning. Our intention is to create institutional capabilities to measure and document the scale of our impact and look at how learning can be replicated across the institution.
