💼 What the programme involves
Scope of Work:
The organization is failing to take care of the ever-increasing number of girls and women in need of help, hence the dire need of Resources Mobilization officer. The Resource Mobilization Officer will contribute to SPROUT work through research/documentation, social media, monitoring and evaluation and resource mobilization.
