Job Details

RESULTS has a long and successful history of providing policy input to decision makers in institutions that make crucial choices in international development such as DFID and the EC, but also important multilateral agencies such as the World Bank, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria, and SUN (Scaling up Nutrition). We also are a strong policy voice within our sector, influencing and supporting other Civil Society organisations. Much is known about how development can be more effective but this knowledge does not always inform policy and policy-in-practice. Our role is less focussed on creating new field research, but more about translating the best evidence into succinct, effective, policy recommendations that are taken up and implemented by these major development actors to help end poverty.

The heart of the policy team’s role is to provide solid policy evidence and messaging to underpin all of RESULTS work. The policy team goes beyond the production of this evidence: it also delivers it as highly-focussed advocacy messaging to the stakeholders who require the most detailed and nuanced levels of technical briefing. These audiences particularly include civil servants and the staff of key development agencies and civil society organisations, but also the parliamentarians and members of our grassroots network who are the strongest champions for our work.

The Policy Advocacy Officer will be a key part of our Policy Advocacy Team. Reporting to the Head of Policy Advocacy, the post-holder will take lead responsibility for being an issue-area expert on nutrition and share responsibility for some related development issues such as equity, education, financing, Health System Strengthening, gender, Early Childhood, and the Sustainable Development Goals. The Policy Advocacy Officer will lead on the development and delivery of high-quality policy advocacy for use in all of RESULTS work to the audiences described above.
