Program Officer - Latin America & the Caribbean at W.K. Kellogg Foundation

Description du poste:

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a leading philanthropic force helping communities create the conditions children need to thrive and the nation’s fifth largest foundation, is seeking nominations and applications for a Program Officer for Latin America and the Caribbean Programs focused on Health for its programs in Haiti. In recent years, the foundation has sharpened its focus on improving conditions for vulnerable children, concentrating on three key factors of success and their intersections: education and learning; food, health, and well-being; and family economic security. The Haiti team partners closely with community stakeholders and policy makers to create a network of organizations working together to advance Haiti’s economic stability, racial equity, and community and civic engagement, while increasing access to quality education, healthy food, and medical care for children and families in need.

Serving under Rui Mesquita Cordeiro, Director for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Programs, and alongside with Alix Cantave (Program Officer for Latin America and the Caribbean, focused on Haiti) the new Program Officer will provide expanded leadership to key program efforts that nurture opportunities for positive, systemic change in health outcomes in southwest and central Haiti. The new Program Officer will have the unique opportunity to build new partnerships and expand the foundation’s work in the region to address both immediate and long term challenges by: enhancing partnerships with community networks and alliances working toward improving the quality, access, and management of food and water systems within rural communities; and building capacity in the healthcare workforce so mothers and babies have increased access to culturally competent healthcare from birth to early childhood. These initiatives are focused on improving conditions for vulnerable children and families and the communities where they live. The new Program Officer will join a dynamic, passionate, and committed team based in Boston, Mexico City, and Battle Creek, Michigan dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in Haiti.
