Overview

VENEZUELA - GRANT MANAGER (M/F) - CARACAS

Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of)

Organization

Solidarités International

About The Mission

Being present and operational in Venezuela since the end of 2019, SI initially started working in Caracas, but later launched WASH activities in the city of Barquisimeto, Lara State, then expanding to Falcon, Sucre and Portuguesa states. A FSL activity was initiated in Barquisimeto in 2021. Since then, the mission grew steadily on Falcon and Sucre State, opening a sub‑base in Punto Fijo and strengthening its relationship with Fe y Alegría, our main local partner. While projects remain centered on Wash and FSL, protection and health components are progressively added either directly or through consortium and/or partnerships.

Solidarités International (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association that has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters for over 40 years, meeting their basic needs for food, water and shelter. SI specializes in safe water, sanitation, hygiene promotion, and essential food security and livelihoods. Present in 26 countries, the SI teams – 3,200 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers – intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.

General Objective

The Grant Manager is part of the coordination team, reporting to the Country Director, and serves as the mission’s focal point for ensuring accountability to donors.

Main Challenges

Translation is time‑consuming, and the mission faces challenges with staff turnover, limited MEAL capacities, and the need for regular training and thorough documentation review to ensure reporting and donor accountability.

• Coordinate teams for proposals and reporting, including feedback to MdM on ECHO, PUI on BHA, development of the CDCS proposal, and consolidation of the final ECHO report with COOPI.
• Engage with donors and partners and update Annex 5.
• Work with HQ on upcoming audits and centralize BHA project documentation for the July 2024 audit.
• Launch discussions with CD and coordinators on the mission’s partnership strategy and action points.

Security Constraints

Venezuela is generally calm, though some areas carry risks. Caracas is comfortable, with safety precautions needed for travel.

Breaks

During the assignment, a system of alternation between work and time off is implemented at the rate of 7 working days every three months (with a USD 850 break allowance, allocated by Sl). To these breaks periods, SI grants one additional rest day per month worked.
