Governance and Transparency Advisor

Mission and objectives

Our mission is to promote the social, economic, intellectual and informational development of cities and districts of Tajikistan, particularly through the empowerment of youth and women.

Context

Rousto Charity is actively expanding its work and strengthening partnerships with international donors. To do this, we need to bring our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and public transparency in line with international non-profit standards. The volunteers' work will directly help us build institutional trust and secure new funding to support youth and women in Tajikistan. What the Volunteer Needs to Know

• Our Mission: We promote social, economic, and intellectual development in Tajikistan, with a strong focus on empowering youth and women.
• Our Goal: We want our internal policies and our website's transparency page to look highly credible and professional to international grant-makers.
• Current State: We have a working website and basic foundational documents ready, but we need your expert eye to help refine them to meet global benchmarks.

We are seeking qualified online volunteers to serve as a Governance and Transparency Specialist. The selected volunteer will help Rousto Charity enhance its organizational accountability and public credibility by updating our internal policies and providing a strategic roadmap to optimize our public digital presence.
