Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will coordinate project activities in Kampala, liaising with local partners and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery of outputs. Day-to-day tasks include monitoring budgets, preparing progress reports, and facilitating field visits or community engagements. Expect a mix of desk-based planning and on-the-ground coordination.
Key skills to highlight
Demonstrate proven ability in project cycle management, from work planning to reporting. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills are critical, as is experience with donor-funded projects (e.g., UN, EU, or bilateral agencies). Mention proficiency in data collection tools (e.g., Kobo, ODK) and results-based management.
Taf4All CV tip
Add a short “Project Snapshot” section near the top of your CV. List 2-3 relevant projects with their budget size, duration, and key outcomes (e.g., “Led a 12-month WASH project in Kampala, reaching 5,000 beneficiaries within budget”). This immediately shows you can handle the role’s scope.
Before you apply
Verify the recruiter’s identity by checking the official UN careers portal or the organization’s website. Never pay any fee for application, interview, or visa processing. Report suspicious requests to local authorities or Taf4All.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
