Careers and opportunities

The Freedom Fund is commissioning participatory research to assist with design of interventions in the Karamoja region of Uganda, to address multiple forms of child exploitation. Applicants must have capacity to conduct field work in Karamoja, and research organisations fully or partially based in and led from Uganda will be prioritised.

The Freedom Fund is offering a unique consultancy opportunity for an individual with deep knowledge of Uganda’s civil society and government systems (in particular, in the Karamoja Sub-region), especially regarding child, early, and forced marriage, and the exploitation of children. The consultant will work closely with local community representatives, civil society organizations, and government offices to co-design programming frameworks that meet the needs of local communities. Expertise in grassroots organizations, convening skills, and understanding of gender transformative approaches as well as grant management will be essential.
