• Provide independent and proactive support to ECDPM staff in the area of finance and administration.
• Help ECDPM staff and external partners understand the financial implications of projects.

• Improve cost efficiency and control.
• Develop, implement and monitor corporate policies and procedures.
• Ensure high-quality, accurate, timely and consistent financial information.
• Update financial systems in compliance with relevant guidelines and procedures.
• Draft and review project budgets in close collaboration with project managers.
• Analyse balance sheet positions and take appropriate actions.
• Prepare invoices to third parties and be responsible for debtor management.
• Manage the petty cash.
