NGO supporting coastal communities in maintaining healthy ecosystem

Accommodation & Visa

Zanzibar, Tanzania

6-12 weeks

Our partner works with small-scale fishing communities, on the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, to help them manage coastal resources and improve their livelihoods. They require support in streamlining their accounting processes and procedures.

They have grown considerably in the last four years and recruited a full time Accountant and Finance Manager in 2018. They have been developing their finance function gradually as donors and audits have required it, but would now require support to streamline their procedures and improve efficiency.

You will also be coaching the new Finance Manager who does not have prior experience at this level. Your training will include budget tracking, financial planning and project accounting. You will be reviewing and updating the financial procedures manual, guiding preparation for annual audit and drafting an annual organisational budget.

This is a diverse and varied assignment with plenty of scope for a volunteer with experience in management accounting to add a huge amount of value in just a few weeks.
