About Restless Development
Restless Development is a global non profit agency. We support the collective power of young leaders to create a better world. We are independently registered and governed in nine countries (India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe) bound together by our vision for youth power.
We run youth-led programmes to tackle the issues that young people care about the most. We also run the Youth Collective – a growing network of over 5,000 local youth-led organisations in 185 countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and externally.

Our Approach to Safeguarding
Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.
About the Role
Restless Development is the leading youth-led development agency. We have been working in Tanzania since 1993 and have established an impressive track record in delivering grassroots impact through youth led development programmes aligned to the Government of Tanzania’s Consecutive National Development Plans.
In collaboration with UNICEF, we will be implementing a project aimed at bridging the educational gaps and improving outcomes for vulnerable adolescents in the Kigoma, Songwe and Tabora Regions from January2025 to March 2026 . This project will address key barriers such as financial constraints, gender inequality, and inadequate access to essential learning materials, with a particular focus on girls’ retention and empowerment.
The Project Coordinator will oversee the implementation of project activities, supervise the project team, facilitate stakeholder engagement, and ensure alignment with project goals. They will manage capacity-building workshops, training material development, data collection, and reporting, while monitoring budgets and ensuring financial compliance. Additionally, the Coordinator will drive partnerships, enhance program visibility, and support monitoring, evaluation, and learning to ensure overall project effectiveness.
