Morgan leads on donor and consortia partner relations, including government, contractual negotiations and management for the drylands team and the devolved climate finance programme. Much of the work involves aligning and reconciling internal (IIED) and external priorities, policies and system requirements while managing good relationships with donors, long-term consultants, in-country partners and IIED colleagues to ensure timely delivery of contractual obligations.
This also requires the management of in-country capacity-building support, particularly to national and local civil society organisations, on financial management, donor rules/regulations and planning work/time effectively, to build southern capacities of management of increasingly complex funding streams.
