The Director of Movement Building and Partnerships (DMP) provides strategic and programmatic leadership for ILGA World’s work under Strategic Objective 3 on movement building, including cross-movement partnerships, regranting, and some aspects of our monitoring, evaluation and learning work.
This is a new role within ILGA World, and a core part of the role is to develop and grow this area of work in keeping with movement-building best practice, ensuring robust monitoring, evaluation and learning.
The DMP is part of the executive leadership of the organisation (Team of Directors) and reports directly to the Executive Director. They will hold relationships with ILGA World’s membership, cross-movement leaders, and supervise — initially — a small staff team with expertise in cross-movement and partnerships work, movement building, regranting and MEL work.
The Movement Building and Partnerships team is being created at a pivotal moment for ILGA World and builds on several years of work across various aligned movements and established relationships with key actors in feminist, SRHR and broader human rights movements.
A core part of this role will be to lead the organisation’s development of a substantive regranting program to support LGBTI organisations across the globe in an environment of extremely restricted resources. This will include developing re-granting strategy that aligns with our organisational strategy, best practice policies and working methods for subgrant eligibility criteria, due diligence, risk assessment, programme and financial accountabilities and MEL. This role collaborates closely with both the finance and programmes teams at ILGA to ensure best practice and alignment with advocacy priorities.
