Job Description
Job Title: Programme Coordinator
Location: Mbarara, Uganda. This role will include frequent travel across Western Uganda.
Reports To: Country Representative
DelAgua is a social enterprise with more than a decade of experience implementing large-scale carbon development projects that transform the lives of rural households in least developed countries across Africa. Our Live Well programme uses carbon finance to fund the free provision of a high quality, fuel-efficient stove with integrated education and life-long support.
Today over 2 million stoves have been distributed, transforming over 9 million lives and delivering long-term behaviour change as well as multiple, measurable impacts for people and the environment. This is the largest clean cooking programme of its kind in the world with operations in Rwanda, The Gambia and Sierra Leone. DelAgua exclusively targets rural communities who are otherwise unable to afford the transition to clean cooking. Following this success, DelAgua is currently undergoing a significant expansion of our projects across sub-Saharan Africa, with the stated aim of increasing access to clean cooking for rural communities.
