The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) is a student funded and directed organization that
provides support for students and community members to research, educate, and take action on social and
environmental justice issues. WPIRG is a non-hierarchical organization that uses consensus decisionmaking processes, and strives to create an anti-oppressive working environment by proactively opposing
Page 28
all forms of oppression such as those based on gender, race, class, sexuality, age, cultural
heritage/ethnicity, religion, and ability.
WPIRG has a high turnover of volunteers and the three permanent staff provide continuity and stability in
this ever-changing organization. Staff carry out critical support work that maintains the integrity of the
organization, assist volunteers, and provide connection to other activists, community groups, and
organizations. They have an awareness of and interest in issues relating to racism, sexism, queer and trans*
phobia, class exploitation, imperialism, environmental degradation, indigenous sovereignty and
decolonization, and ableism. WPIRG is a small office environment, so staff work collaboratively, support
each other, and share some responsibilities.
The primary function of the ‘Volunteer & Programming Coordinator’ is to directly support the activism
and political organizing of volunteers, and to deliver events and programming. This work broadly falls into
three categories – 1) volunteer recruitment and engagement, 2) volunteer and action group support and
development, and 3) coordination of workshops, actions and events. Working in consultation with the
board of directors, staff and volunteers, primary responsibilities include:
Recruitment: Initial recruitment of volunteers employing a variety of media – traveling displays, posters,
ads, community service announcements, information meetings etc. Assist action groups in the continued
recruitment of volunteers through the resource centre/office, and general promotion.
Orientation: Ensure that WPIRG volunteers receive adequate orientation to the organization. A variety of
methods may be employed, including: written guides, meetings, personal interviews, introductory trainings
etc.
Tracking: Review the activities of volunteers and action groups to ensure that participants are adhering to
the organization’s policies and procedures.
Support: Provide ongoing assistance to volunteer and action group initiatives, including: outreach,
networking (providing contacts - campus and community groups), administrative support, strategic
planning and goal setting, providing research and relevant information, and general troubleshooting.
Programming: Organize and coordinate events, workshops, and actions related to WPIRG’s mandate, and
commitment to anti-oppression and social justice.
Training: Determine the training needs of volunteers, and organize trainings relevant to these needs.
Trainings may include (but need not be limited to): anti-oppression, consensus decision-making, solidarity
not charity, anti-capitalism, indigenous solidarity, anti-racism, direct action, meeting facilitation etc.
In addition, the ‘Volunteer & Programming Coordinator’ will assist other permanent staff in the following
areas: policy development, grant applications and strategic planning.
Qualifications
· Demonstrated interest and experience in social and environmental justice organizing, and familiarity
with related contemporary issues
· Knowledge of anti-oppression analysis and proficiency in applying this throughout your work
· Demonstrated ability to recruit, engage, coordinate and support volunteers
· Experience in event planning and action coordination
Page 29
· Self-direction and ability to take initiative in a dynamic work environment
· Ability to prioritize work and manage numerous tasks simultaneously

· Ability to design and lead workshops and trainings

· Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
· Familiarity with a university/college environment
Employment Terms
The ‘Volunteer & Programming Coordinator’ is a permanent full-time position with a 6-month
probationary period. It is a 35 hours per week position at a rate of $20.63 per hour, with extended health
care benefits and four weeks paid vacation per year. Permanent staff are members of the Canadian Union
of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1281. The anticipated start date is Monday, August 12th 2013.

terms (the busiest terms being Sep-Dec and Jan-Apr and the slowest term being May-Aug). Within each
term, another cycle exists, with the beginning of term being the most active and the end of term quieter.
Work time allocated to the various areas of responsibility will vary greatly depending on the time of term.
Evening and some weekend work is expected.
WPIRG welcomes the contributions that individuals from marginalized communities bring to our
organization, and encourages aboriginal people, people of colour, women, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, queeroriented people, single parents, members of ethnic minorities, immigrants and people with disabilities to
apply. We encourage applicants to describe in their cover letter the contributions and experiences they, as
individuals who identify with marginalized communities, would bring to WPIRG.
Also in their cover letter, all applicants are asked to provide a brief statement on their views of power and
oppression.
Applicants must provide a resume with 3 references, a cover letter, and a response, no longer than 750
words, to the following question: How would you envision your role in encouraging and supporting radical
student activism?

Associate Country Director
Oxfam GB
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Open-ended contract
“Very Competitive Global Package” Oxfam will meet the tax and social security liabilities
Oxfam GB has been working in Tanzania since the early 1970s. We aim to improve livelihoods and ensure
people have adequate basic services, are safe and can influence decisions that affect them and their
communities. Our strategy focuses on Livelihoods and Vulnerability, Governance and Education and
Agribusiness that is aligned to Oxfam’s global campaigning strategy. Oxfam International affiliates partner
with the government, civil societies, donors, NGOs and the private sector to deliver.
The role An Implementing Affiliate under Oxfam’s new single management structure, you’ll support the
delivery of the Joint Country Analysis and Strategy and lead teams in the roll out of development
initiatives on the ground. It’s crucial that we maintain a consistent and integrated approach in our efforts
across Tanzania. Something you’ll keep in mind as you take charge of operational and people
management; mobilising your team in the delivery of agreed priorities and plans, seeing to it that we’re
utilising our resources and identifying opportunities to build on our capacity. But your success will hinge
as much on the partnerships you develop as the operational work involved. So building relationships with
key political figures, managing vital donor contracts and partnering with private sector and other NGOs,
and civil society platforms, you’ll create strong links and establish Oxfam as an influential agency helping to make a real difference to a country in need of our support. You will demonstrate a strong track
record in integrating gender at all levels of analysis and programme delivery.
What we’re looking for To deliver in a role of such importance calls for extensive experience of driving
programme development and change management, both in a humanitarian and development context. So
you’ll know all about building donor and partner relationships and leading and motivating teams. And
from a practical standpoint, you’ll be confident overseeing complex budgets. More than that, economic
justice, social justice and advocacy skills are essential, as is the ability to think politically, analytically and
strategically in challenging situations. But just as importantly, you’ll have the credibility, the drive and the
passion to positively represent Oxfam at all levels.
About Oxfam A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in
this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their
Page 32
problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people
already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development
projects. Now we’re looking for yours.

Family Planning and Reproductive Health Advisor
Global Health Fellows Program II
Technical Advisor II/III: Family Planning and Reproductive Health Advisor
USAID/Tanzania
Location: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Assignment: Two year fellowship
GHFP-II-P2-087
The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and
managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management
Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by addressing the Agency’s
immediate and emerging human capacity needs. The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through
the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels.
These program participants include fellows, interns, corporate volunteers and Foreign Service National
professionals. The program then provides substantial performance management and career development
Page 36
support to participants, including annual work planning assistance, and ensures that professional
development opportunities are available.
Looking to the future, GHFP-II also seeks to establish a pool of highly-qualified global health
professionals that will ensure the Agency’s ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective
is supported by an extensive outreach program that brings global health opportunities and specialized
career advice to a diverse range of interested individuals, with a particular focus on those underrepresented
in the field of global health.
BACKGROUND:
USAID/Tanzania leads the US Government’s (USG) complex, high-profile development program
supported by an FY 2012 budget of $334 million. The Mission’s programs support the following major
development sectors: health, natural resource management and biodiversity, economic growth, education,
and democracy and governance. Reflecting its importance to the Obama Administration, Tanzania
participates in all major USG development initiatives, including: Partnership for Growth; Global Health
Initiative (GHI) with PEPFAR and the President’s Malaria Initiative as cornerstones; and Feed the Future.
USAID/Tanzania employs 118 staff and works with nearly 80 implementing partners including an
increasing number of Government of Tanzania (GOT) entities and local organizations through more than
100 active awards.
The 45-member Health Office manages an annual budget of $222 million that supports HIV/AIDS,
tuberculosis, malaria, maternal and child health (MCH), family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH),
and health systems strengthening activities. The Health Office is structured in an integrated, crosscutting
manner rather than by specific health issue/disease; this structure directly reflects the three intermediate
results under the USG/Tanzania GHI Strategy via the: (1) Facility-Based Services Team; (2) Health
Systems Strengthening Team; and (3) Community-Based Services Team.
USAID has supported the GOT’s FP/RH program since 1989. In March 2010, the Mainland’s Ministry of
Health & Social Welfare (MOHSW) launched its “Family Planning National Costed Implementation
Plan,” which chose an ambitious contraceptive prevalence rate target of 60% by 2015. While this program
has been largely unfunded by the GOT, USAID has continued to support the GOT to support the Plan
through: (1) supporting long-acting and permanent contraceptive methods in the public sector; (2)
expanding social marketing of condoms and short-term hormonal methods; (3) ensuring contraceptive
security; and (4) advocating for FP with both national and district decision makers.
