SNV is a mission-driven global development partner, rooted in the contexts and societies where we work. Inspired by the transformational principles and objectives set out by the SDGs, we are committed to building resilient agri-food systems that deliver food security and adequate nutrition; to increasing the reliability and availability of water and sanitation at an acceptable quantity and quality; and to improving access to affordable and sustainable energy for all. In doing so, we aim to strengthen institutions, markets and effective governance within and across the agri-food, energy, and water sectors, reducing gender inequalities and barriers to social inclusion, and enabling adaptation and mitigation to the climate and biodiversity crises. We are one team of over 1,600 people, the vast majority of whom come from the contexts where we work, in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia. In Uganda SNV operates through a decentralised approach with a country office in Kampala and regional offices in Fort Portal, Rukungiri, Jinja and Lira. SNV implements donor-funded activities across more than 100 districts in Uganda, ensuring broad and diverse impact. Our ability to deliver results rests on our robust foundation of experience, knowledge, evidence and learning; our commitment to strengthening capacities and catalysing partnerships; and the relationships and trust of those we work alongside. Our core values of people-centeredness and respect, equity and equality, and diversity and inclusion, are fundamental to who we are, and what we do. This is reflected in our vision and mission, and strategy, which sets out our aspirations and commitments as our compass towards 2030.

In Uganda, the programme responds to a set of interconnected systemic challenges including declining food security, increasing biodiversity loss, and climate change. It builds on a shared philosophy between SNV and its partners to accelerate the transition towards renewable energy-driven resilient food systems, and a sustainable future where people have opportunities to thrive sustainably. The programme uses an innovative hybrid implementation model where it leverages existing initiatives and expertise within the ecosystem and connects actors working at the nexus of regenerative agriculture (RA) and productive use of renewable energy (PURE) to transform agri-food systems. The P4FP Uganda programme pursues a systems transformation approach, working through three interlinked pathways: • LEARN: Practice-based learning and evidence generation through knowledge exchange and embedding systems-thinking. • LINK: Action-oriented collaboration among system actors, nurturing RA–PURE nexus champions and convening partners. • LEVERAGE: Embedding nexus approaches into policy and practice, influencing investment flows, and strengthening capacities of local actors. The programme works with and through a consortium of core implementing partners, currently including ACSA, PELUM Uganda, NREP, CREEC, NOGAMU, NARO, and USEA, while maintaining flexibility to engage additional partners, collaborators and service providers as implementation evolves. P4FP Uganda also works closely with government institutions, including MAAIF and MEMD, as well as the 15 targeted district authorities and other ecosystem actors, to coordinate and support programme activities at national and sub-national levels. Some of these activities are implemented directly by partners, while others are coordinated by SNV with government institutions, district authorities or other actors, with SNV managing the related activity resources, logistics and documentation in line with agreed workplans and programme procedures. P4FP Uganda is currently implemented across 15 target districts in the Central, Western, Eastern, and Lango regions. Subject to programme learning, performance and available resources, the programme ambition is to expand to 15 additional districts in later years of implementation. Equity, transparency, and mutual benefit anchor how the programme works with its partners, government counterparts and wider ecosystem actors. Job Purpose SNV provides grant funding that leverages co-investment from core implementing partners, while also managing programme resources for SNV-led and jointly coordinated activities with government institutions, district authorities and other ecosystem actors. The programme’s ambition to move from pilot initiatives and early implementation to systems transformation at scale depends on partners, SNV teams and other collaborating actors using these resources well, not just accounting for them correctly. 2026 is a pivotal year for the P4FP Uganda Programme, as it moves from design and early implementation into accelerated delivery across the LEARN, LINK and LEVERAGE pathways. This requires stronger day-to-day coordination of partner-led activities, SNV-led activities, district-level engagements, government-linked activities, budget utilisation, payment readiness, documentation, reporting timelines, co-investment follow-up, implementation lessons and early resolution of delivery bottlenecks. The Grant and Resource Coordination Officer will support the day-to-day follow-up, utilisation tracking and documentation readiness of grant, co-investment and programme activity resources across P4FP Uganda. The role will work under the strategic direction of the Programme Manager and under the technical guidance of the Project Finance Officer and relevant SNV Uganda Finance Department colleagues. The position will also work closely with the Deputy Programme Manager, Pathway Leads, MEL team, SNV activity leads, partner focal persons, government counterparts and district-level actors to ensure that agreed activities, budgets, documentation, payment-related requirements and follow-up actions move forward in line with approved workplans and SNV procedures. The role will play a broader analytical and resource coordination function in helping the programme and its partners make effective use of programme and co-investment resources. This includes analysing financial performance, budget utilisation, co-investment progress and activity implementation through an adaptive management lens; identifying where investments are not sufficiently aligned with LEARN, LINK and LEVERAGE pathway priorities; where reallocations or follow-up actions could increase impact; and where partners, SNV activity leads or district/government-linked activities require additional support to improve delivery rather than simply meet compliance requirements. The role will help the programme maintain a live picture of resource utilisation and implementation progress across partner-led, SNV-led and district/government-linked activities. This includes supporting monthly implementation and depletion tracking, following up on activity plans and documentation requirements, identifying where resources are not moving as planned, flagging delays or bottlenecks early, and helping partners and SNV teams take corrective action before issues affect delivery, reporting, compliance or depletion. The position will also contribute to rapid adaptive management by documenting recurrent bottlenecks, practical lessons and resource utilisation issues, and translating these into timely recommendations for the Programme Manager, Deputy Programme Manager, Project Finance Officer, Pathway Leads, MEL team and relevant colleagues. This will help ensure that resources remain aligned with pathway priorities, approved workplans, MEL evidence needs, programme results and timely decision-making.
