About the Role.
The Tusunge Lubuno (Let’s Grow Our Wealth) project focuses on fulfilling education and Livelihood in our programme work. Our Education and livelihood programs focus on the type of work young people are doing, not on their income alone. We do not want to just ensure that young people are just surviving; we want to ensure that they are thriving. We see two components of work that we want to support young people to achieve, that is, securing work that is decent and sustainable.
We acknowledge that identifying what “decent” and “sustainable” work is, according to young people, is both complex and context-dependent. We also acknowledge that we cannot look at Living in terms of young people alone; we need to look at their ecosystem holistically. This requires that we unpack structural factors that constrain young people from maximizing their Living: inequalities, gender issues, intersectional marginalization, and power dynamics at the community, national, regional, and global level. We need to equip young people to champion for economic justice, interrogating the economic models that govern their lives and challenging these models where they are not sustainable. Restless Development therefore seeks to recruit dynamic, inspired and innovative Zambians to fill the roles of Programme Officers on the Tusunge Lubuno (Let’s Grow Our Wealth). The Programme Officers will be based in Kabwe.
