## Title: Advocacy Lead

About the Organization

The African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) is seeking an Advocacy Lead to work with partners across the institution to build a strong advocacy architecture for greater impact and influence on issues related to Africa's economic transformation.

Role Overview

The Advocacy Lead will collaborate with stakeholders throughout ACET to establish a robust advocacy framework that strengthens the organization's impact and influence on Africa's economic transformation.
