Vacancy: Project Support Officer
The Hunger Safety Net
Programme (HSNP) is a social protection intervention by the Government of Kenya
(GoK) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID).
It is being implemented in
Northern Kenya and is intended to deliver long-term, regular guaranteed cash
support to chronically poor households, expand access to financial services and
contribute to development of the National Social Protection framework.
FSD’s role is to ensure an
efficient and effective implementation of the payment related component of the
programme to enable transfers to beneficiaries to be delivered on time and
according to the programme’s minimum delivery standards.
The growth in scale and complexity of the project has meant that an additional resource is required to support the Government Payments (GPII) Project Manager.
Based full time in Nairobi,
the HSNP Project Support Officer will provide technical assistance in the
delivery of various project tasks in order to achieve timely and efficient
project progress and delivery.
This will involve preparing
the HSNP payroll and requisite documents in readiness for approvals and
payments, tracking project expenditure, operational support as well as
analysing payment related data on a monthly basis.
We’re looking for a results-oriented individual with strong organisational skills coupled with a strong understanding of processes.
You will need to be very

sometimes conflicting outputs.
