British Department for International Development
Economic Adviser
The British Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) supports efforts to eliminate poverty in Ukraine, working with Ukrainian partners and international agencies. DFID works through the Development Section of British Embassy in Kiev, which is responsible for delivering a substantial programme of technical assistance (£7 million per year).
The British Embassy’s Development Section is seeking to recruit an Economic Adviser to join the team. This is a new and challenging job for someone with experience of economic issues in Ukraine, knowledge of project management and strong interpersonal skills.
Duties
You will be responsible for advising the DFID Ukraine programme on all issues related to the economic aspects of poverty reduction, such as: public sector finance, enterprise restructuring, revitalisation of economically depressed areas, small business development and trade policy. You will also provide cross-cutting advice on economic issues across the rest of our programme (covering social and health policy, rural development, enterprise etc.)
In this role, you will be responsible for appraising the design of new projects in the programme, working in a team with other professional advisers and the programme managers. You will also participate in the monitoring and evaluation of projects and contribute to DFID’s overall strategy for reducing poverty in Ukraine.
You will have particular responsibility for developing outputs 1 and 3 of DFID’s programme – closer Ukrainian integration into Europe and the world economy and increased livelihood opportunities – reporting to the Ukraine Programme Manager in Kiev. For this purpose, you will need to work closely with the output 1 and 3 teams of project officers in Kiev, sharing responsibility for project management. You will also need to use your knowledge, analytical and interpersonal skills and diplomacy to influence senior decision-makers in the Ukrainian Government and society and other donors.
You will be a member of DFID’s global economics advisory cadre, and will need to develop a good working knowledge of DFID’s global priorities and policies. You will be supported by a UK-based DFID economic adviser who will provide mentoring and act as a knowledge link to DFID’s global thinking on economics issues.
In addition to knowledge of economics you will need a commitment to development as well as sound political sensitivity. You will need a good deal of energy and an ability to organise work to deal with competing priorities, with only limited administrative support.
