Finance Coordinator

Program Background

The Agrifood System Transformation for Youth Employment (ASTYE) Uganda program is a 5-year transformative initiative designed to enable dignified and fulfilling work opportunities primarily for financially disadvantaged young women, refugees, and vulnerable groups by addressing structural barriers in Uganda's Agrifood system.

Aligned with Uganda's Vision 2040, the National Development Plan, and the Government of Uganda Agriculture Value Chain Development Strategy, the program contributes to national efforts toward poverty alleviation, economic growth, as well as food and nutrition security.

ASTYE is part of the Mastercard Foundation's Young Africa Works strategy in Uganda, which aims to empower 4.3 million young Ugandans, particularly young women, by addressing structural barriers to employment and providing them with the skills and resources to succeed.

Under this program, GOAL will implement component one to reach 500,000 financially disadvantaged young people, with 456,000 transitioning into work and 336,000 securing dignified and fulfilling work. As the program is youth women-centric, 80% of the total outreach target will be young women within Uganda's agrifood ecosystem. Additionally, 5% of the total youth in work target will be refugees, and another 5% will be people with disabilities.

Role Overview

The Finance Coordinator will oversee Mastercard Foundation-funded activities and support the Financial Controller in managing the finance department's operations. The role will oversee daily financial management activities and provide guidance to the Finance Team.
