BRAC International Jobs 2025Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salam, Tanzania | Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative | Full-time | Partially remote
Program Director - UPGI Program at BRAC International September 2025
About the PositionBRAC’s Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI) seeks to hire a Program Director to spearhead BRAC UPGI’s work in Tanzania. The role will offer strategic leadership to UPGI’s country team in Tanzania in their partnerships with governments and other key partners involved in the design and implementation of government led graduation programme(s).
We are looking for candidates with substantial knowledge and experience working with governments, who are interested in thinking outside the box, and who are excited to explore how the current model of graduation can be adapted and scaled by the Government of Tanzania.
The Government of Tanzania has formally expressed interest in partnering with BRAC International to strengthen its national Social Protection Program through the adoption of the Graduation Approach. This collaboration aims to enhance the impact of social protection interventions by supporting targeted households to move from extreme poverty toward sustainable livelihoods.
The Graduation Approach—pioneered and scaled by BRAC—combines elements such as asset transfers, skills training, financial inclusion, and mentoring. It has been globally recognized for its effectiveness in empowering vulnerable populations to achieve long-term economic resilience.
Through this partnership, BRAC will provide:
- Technical assistance in adapting the Graduation model to Tanzania’s local and operational context
- Capacity building for government and implementing partners
- Monitoring and evaluation frameworks to track household progress and impact
- Policy advisory support to align the approach with national development goals
A member of UPGI’s Senior Leadership Team, and reporting to UPGI’s Executive Leadership Team, the Program Director for Tanzania will lead and manage BRAC UPGI’s country strategy – engaging partners, including governments, multilateral and bilateral institutions on issues of extreme poverty; supporting the co-design of high quality government led graduation programmes, and ensuring government partners are able to access and leverage support and technical assistance from BRAC and other civil society organizations and development actors. This role will have the opportunity to be creative in delivering on this strategy, including but not limited to building new partnerships and strategic scaling opportunities, and will be supported with BRAC UPGI’s global support units (Operations, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning, and Program Design and Impact).
This position will be based in Dar Es Salaam and will work closely with BRAC UPGI team members based in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
