In October 2024, DAI Global LLC, a leading global development firm, announced an exciting opportunity for a Junior Non-Key Expert for Communication based in Dodoma, Tanzania. This role is part of the Technical Assistance (TA) provided to support the Green and Smart Cities SASA programme. The project, which focuses on creating sustainable urban environments, promoting local economic growth, and enhancing resilience in selected Tanzanian cities, is an ambitious initiative to foster smart urban development.
- A Unique Opportunity to Shape Communication in a Revolutionary Project
- The Green and Smart Cities SASA programme is an innovative response to the pressing challenges facing urban areas in Tanzania. From improving public services to mobilizing local revenue and creating inclusive economic opportunities for women and youth, this programme is at the forefront of change. The Junior Non-Key Expert for Communication will be instrumental in ensuring that the goals and achievements of the program reach a wide audience.
- This role involves updating and implementing the program’s communication and visibility plan, which was developed during the inception phase.
- The plan aims to highlight the incredible work being done under the SASA program, promoting consistent messaging and aligning the communication efforts of its implementing partners, which include the GIZ, AFD, Enabel, DAI, and the EU Delegation to Tanzania.
What Does the Role Entail?
As part of this role, the selected expert will:
- Review and Update Communication Strategies: You'll review the existing communication and visibility plan, align it with current needs, and coordinate its implementation across stakeholders.
- Organize Collaborative Workshops: A key part of the job will be organizing workshops with the program’s partners to refine the communication strategy and ensure consistency in messaging.
- Develop Creative Branding: You'll help develop a unique brand for the SASA program, ensuring a unified identity that reflects the diverse needs of the different partners.
- Create Public Awareness Materials: From newsletters and brochures to modernized website content, your work will be at the forefront of raising awareness about the progress and achievements of the SASA program.
- Engage with Stakeholders: Working with local government authorities, the EU delegation, and partner organizations, you'll be building relationships that are crucial for the program’s success.
Who Should Apply?
- If you have a background in communication, journalism, or social sciences, this could be a career-defining role for you. At least 5 years of professional experience in the field, combined with excellent English writing skills and experience in reporting on donor-funded projects, are essential for this position. Knowledge of Swahili will give you a competitive edge, while previous work on public relations campaigns will be an advantage.
- The position is based in Dodoma, but you can expect to travel to key cities involved in the program, such as Mwanza, Tanga, Ilemela, and Dar es Salaam. With a commitment of 94 working days during the contract period, this role offers both flexibility and the chance to be part of something bigger than yourself: shaping the future of Tanzanian cities.
