Job Description
AFRICAN PALLIATIVE CARE ASSOCIATION (APCA)
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER
The African Palliative Care Association (APCA) is seeking a highly motivated, resourceful and
results-oriented professional to join its team as Business Development Officer.
The Business Development Officer will support the Executive Director — APCA’s principal
fundraiser — in planning, developing and delivering the organisation’s resource mobilisation
strategy.
The role has two equally important objectives: strengthening the quality and success of APCA’s
donor and grant fundraising, while actively diversifying APCA’s income beyond traditional donors
through membership, individual and diaspora giving, earned income from services and technical
assistance, revenue-generating conferences and events, and corporate partnerships.
The successful candidate will work as an integrated member of the APCA team, helping to embed
resource mobilisation as a shared responsibility across the organisation.
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda (or remotely)
Application Deadline: Sunday, 20 September 2026 at 5:00pm East Africa Standard Time
(EAT)
Key Areas of Responsibility
The successful candidate will:
• Conduct donor and market research to identify funding and business development
opportunities.
• Build and maintain a comprehensive pipeline of funders, prospects and opportunities.
• Develop concept notes, proposals and grant applications.
• Support the Executive Director in managing donor and partner relationships.
• Support development of non-donor income streams, including membership, individual
and diaspora giving, earned income, events and corporate partnerships.
• Help package, cost and promote APCA’s services and products.
• Support fundraising campaigns and events.
• Coordinate donor and grant reporting with programme, finance and M&E colleagues.
• Maintain resource mobilisation records and support reporting to management and the
Board.
• Work collaboratively across APCA to strengthen resource mobilisation as an
organisation-wide responsibility.
Qualifications and Experience
Applicants should have:
• A Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, communications, international
development, economics, social sciences or another relevant field, or equivalent
relevant experience.
• At least 2–3 years’ relevant professional experience in fundraising, business
development, communications, research, proposal writing, programme support or
related work.
• Experience managing relationships with institutional donors, foundations, corporations
or development partners is an advantage.
• Strong proposal-writing and written communication skills.
• Strong research, analytical and organisational skills.
• Demonstrated interest or aptitude in fundraising, business development and income
diversification.
• Good interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a small, mission-driven organisation.
Direct resource mobilisation experience is an advantage but is not essential. APCA is willing to
invest in and develop a candidate who demonstrates strong potential, excellent writing and
research ability, and a genuine commitment to APCA’s mission.
Application Process
Interested and qualified candidates should submit:
• A cover letter or statement of interest;
• A detailed CV with three professional referees; and
• Copies of academic qualifications.
Applications should be sent by email to:
