Our partner is a Micro finance charity focussed on offering financial assistance to low income households in rural Zambia, through 4 branches. Current offerings includes loans and future products are likely to include insurance and possibly deposits.
As an early stage socially focused microfinance institution they do not have access to a lot of financial resources to invest in building a high quality Zambian senior management. Accounting, internal controls and financial reporting are some of the areas that they are sturggling with and an AFID volunteer can help significantly in hands-on training of our existing team in Finance and Internal Controls.
Responsibilities: A wide range, from design of internal audit framework, to execution and quality control, including the finance department functions.
Outcomes: Establishment of a functioning internal audit system in the organisation, streamlining the accounting and financial reporting systems and processes.
Our partner is ideally looking for a volunteer to start between July-Sep for a period of 6-12 months. They will be able to cover the cost of flights and provide a 1000 USD stipend to cover additional expenses.
Please note that overseas assignments, in this case Zambia, will incur a placement fee as per the AfID Structured Volunteer Programme fee scale (see website for more details).
