</div></div><br>
<div><div><b>GRADE </b>: 2 </div><div><b>TYPE OF CONTRACT: </b>Fixed Term<br>
</div></div><br>
<div><div><p><b>CHILD SAFEGUARDING:
</b></p><p>Level 3: the post holder will have contact with children and/or young people <i>either </i>frequently (e.g. once a week or more) or intensively (e.g. four days in one month or more or overnight) because they work country programs; or are visiting country programs; or because they are responsible for implementing the police checking/vetting process staff.<br>
</p></div></div><br>
<div><div><p><b>ROLE PURPOSE:
</b></p><p>The Roots for Growth Project Manager will lead the implementation of a multi-year results based financed project in Assiut Governorate, designed to empower household-led microenterprises and improve child well-being through sustainable income growth. The role requires a high level of flexibility and adaptive management, including iterative planning, quarterly learning workshops, and co-design sessions with partners. The post holder will oversee program delivery, payment indicators achievement, budget management, partnership coordination, and compliance with SCI and donor standards, while ensuring gender-responsive and child-sensitive approaches across all activities.
</p><p>In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and be able to vary working hours accordingly.<br>
</p><p><br>
<b>Brief Project Scope:
</b></p><p>Roots For Growth Phase one is a 27-month project designed to acheve sustainable economic empowerment and strengthened resilience among vulnerable households with children in Upper Egypt, particularly in Assiut, with the goal of increasing investments in children&rsquo;s development and well-being. The project targets 800 household-led microenterprises across four cohorts (200 per cohort), providing initial entrepreneurship and business development training within pre-selected value chains. From these, 630 micro-enterprises will be selected to receive a comprehensive package comprising seed funding, tailored technical training, business coaching through household coaches, market linkages, and individualized support for business growth. Grounded in a theory of change that emphasizes gender-responsive, tailored capacity building; sector-specific technical development; mentorship; inclusive market access; and early-stage growth capital, the program aims to strengthen microenterprise performance and promote improved financial planning, saving practices, and child-sensitive household financial management. By addressing discriminatory gender norms and ensuring equitable participation and benefits for women and youth, the project seeks to enable households to sustainably grow their enterprises, generate predictable income, and reinvest in their children&rsquo;s education, health, and overall well-being, ultimately contributing to long-term resilience and sustainable economic empowerment.
</p><p>Implementation will be delivered through local incubator to deliver all business mentorship and capacity building aspects and community-based organizations (CBOs) which will serve as hubs for coaching, and market linkage support. These partners will provide continuous hands-on guidance to households and help embed project practices within existing community systems. Leveraging their local networks and contextual knowledge will ensure outreach to the most vulnerable yet viable groups and promote long-term sustainability beyond the project&rsquo;s duration.
</p><p>The project will also pilot a Results-Based Financing (RBF) model to strengthen and build on SCI Egypt expertise and adapt our implementation approach so that it becomes technically and institutionally fit for future RBF programming. Through this pilot, the PM, the team, and livelihoods TA will refine operational processes, reporting mechanisms, and partner engagement models to align with RBF requirements and ensure readiness for broader scale-up. RBF is a financing approach in which payments are partially or fully tied to the achievement of measurable and pre-defined results, aiming to improve performance, enhance accountability, and ensure that resources directly drive high-quality outcomes.<br>
