Introduction
As part of the UK’s International Climate Finance commitment, FCDO in Kampala is implementing a Climate Smart Jobs (CSJ) project, focusing on Northern Uganda.
The Climate Smart Jobs project will support large-scale job creation for Uganda’s growing population. In recent years, insufficient economic growth has meant a rising proportion of the working age population are not working, and hourly earnings have been falling. This means providing jobs and improving incomes is a high priority for the British High Commission (“BHC”) in Kampala.
The CSJ project, will target the agri-business sector since the British High Commission believes that improving productivity and/or incomes in agriculture is the most promising prospect for delivering inclusive and equitable economic growth and job opportunities. Three-quarters of the Ugandan population derive their income from agriculture, and agrobusinesses contribute 60% of total output in the Ugandan manufacturing sector.
At Impact level, the British High Commission’s vision is that the Climate Smart Jobs project, will seek out innovative, technology-based solutions to issues for agriculture in Northern Uganda and scale them in the most efficient ways possible. Higher agricultural productivity, commercialization of farming and improved net trade in agro-processing products will then accelerate the process of economic transformation in Uganda. It will release young men and women for wages employment into towns, stimulating demand for non-agricultural products and inducing off-farm wages jobs in services. Uganda would be set on a green growth trajectory where businesses, jobs and Gross domestic product (GDP) are no longer held back by unsustainable land management practices, slow onset change and extreme climatic events.
Scope
The geographic focus of the Climate Smart Jobs project is the Northern Region of Uganda and the refugee-hosting district of Kiryandongo (“Northern Uganda”). Activities undertaken must thus incentivize results to be achieved for households in Northern Uganda where possible. This geographic focus is not exclusive, however, so the CSJ may take advantage of some opportunities to achieve results in other parts of Uganda when opportunities in Northern Uganda are weak. The sectoral focus will be the agriculture sector, and related supporting industries or value chains.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities:
The main objectives of this Business Model Specialist will include:
1. Media Interventions Management:
- Manage media interventions with intervention partners, ensuring alignment with the CSJ project objectives.

- Support intervention partners in achieving their targets and deliverables, providing technical and strategic guidance as needed.
2. Communications Support:
- Maintain and update the CSJ website to keep it timely, relevant and visually appealing for external audiences.
- Create compelling content, including articles, blog posts, social media content, and multimedia materials.
- Support the implementation of a comprehensive social media strategy aligned with CSJ-MD vision and objectives.

- Collect and package stories of change from project areas, partners, and beneficiaries.
- Monitor news related to the Climate Smart Jobs project and amplify opportunities for positive public release.
