Specificities

The position is based in Kampala, Uganda. Uganda is a relatively safe country and has low levels of crime and violence. The political situation is currently stable. Kampala has access to many entertainment, education and health facilities. Traffic can be an issue, making movement around the city on weekdays challenging.

The position is both a regional and country level one and will require travel not only within Uganda to the project sites, but to Rwanda and Kenya. All three countries are relatively safe and stable, however this can be impacted by the instability in countries like the DR of Congo and South Sudan. Travel requirements between the 3 countries will be determined in consultation with the Regional Director and the Kenya and Rwanda Country Managers.

Kampala is Level 2 security and the city is safe, as long as basic safety precautions are taken.
