About this role

Mercy Corps Tanzania is seeking a qualified candidate for a senior programmatic role supporting the EVOLVE (Empowering EV Ventures through Opportunities for Leveraged Value addition & Expansion) project, a flagship initiative positioned to transform Dar es Salaam into a leading hub for e-mobility innovation across East Africa. The project operates with the overarching goal of ensuring that both existing and new electric vehicle entrepreneurs thrive within a dynamic and competitive market environment, achieved through improved access to quality business development services and targeted entrepreneurial finance mechanisms.
