GiveDirectly Uganda Jobs 2022 – Fresher Field Officer

 

Job Title: FieldOfficer – GiveDirectly Uganda Jobs 2022

Organization: GiveDirectly (GD)

Duty Station: Bududa, Uganda

GiveDirectly (GD) Profile

GiveDirectly is driving a re-evaluation of the norms underlying international philanthropy with a provocative model: we deliver donations directly to the extreme poor and let them decide what to do with them. This approach builds on two converging trends: the rapid spread of electronic last-mile payments solutions in emerging markets, and the large body of experimental evidence showing that direct transfers are as or more cost-effective at reducing poverty than traditional, top-down approaches.  GiveDirectly’s field operations utilize state-of-the-art technologies and business processes to deliver transfers securely, efficiently, and transparently.  Our unorthodox approach – allowing the poor, and not the donor, to choose where they invest – has prompted debate in the popular press and among policymakers.
