ABOUT TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL:

Transparency International is a global movement with one vision: a world in which government, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.

With more than 100 chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, we are leading the fight against corruption to turn this vision into reality.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Transparency International Secretariat (TIS) is currently seeking a
_Thematic Specialist, Public Financial Management Systems (M/F/d) _to join the Research & Knowledge Team to conduct and coordinate research and provide policy support to TI's Strategic Objective of protecting public resources, with a focus on strengthening public financial management systems and institutional oversight in Zambia and Malawi.

TIS is currently negotiating a grant agreement with the French Foreign Affairs Ministry to implement a project in Zambia and Malawi entitled "Collaboration, Action and Dialogue to Strengthen the Engagement of Supreme Audit Institutions and CSOs in Improving public financial management (PFM)".

The project is expected to start in March 2024 and aims at improving the transparency and accountability of PFM systems in both target countries by strengthening collaboration between civil society organisations and supreme audit institutions.

By facilitating collaboration between CSOs and SAIs, through capacity building and joint advocacy actions, the project promotes strong checks and balances on public resource management.

It will strengthen the role of CSOs and SAIs as watchdogs that hold government institutions accountable for their financial activities, identifying irregularities and areas for improvement, as well as mobilising citizens to advocate for change.

This will result in greater transparency and effective accountability in the allocation, management and expenditure of public resources.

To meet these objectives, a number of research activities are foreseen, including for example:

An assessment of the knowledge and skills of civil society and SAIs in matters of Public Finance Management (PFM) and their level of collaboration in the 2 countries.
An analysis of the existing legal frameworks in the target countries.
Development of capacity building materials and toolkits.
Delivery of trainings targeting local CSOs and SAI representatives.
Organisation of conferences and symposia on crosscutting issues such as the consideration of gender in the different stages of PFM and the transparent management of resources in specific sectors.

Transparency International is looking for a Thematic Specialist who will be responsible for research and knowledge generation to support this agenda.

The Thematic Specialist will provide research and policy support to generate the evidence for conducting evidence-based advocacy at the national, regional and global levels on issues related to strengthening PFM systems and the collaboration between CSOs and SAIs.

They will engage with TI national chapters to promote and follow up on research findings and concrete advocacy opportunities.

The Thematic Specialist will also support the establishment of dialogue spaces within the TI Movement and with relevant partners to exchange knowledge, solutions and good practices related to anti-corruption, transparency and accountability of PFM systems and more generally the collection, allocation, management and oversight of public resources.

The position is currently estimated to start in March 2024 for two years.
