Responsibilities & Context:
∎ • Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized. Being a peoples' centered organization, ESDO envisioned for a society which will be free from inequality and injustice, a society where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Near about three decades of relentless efforts to make this happen, ESDO has embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to help the disadvantaged and vulnerable people to bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, ESDO has adapted with the changing situation and provided the most time-bound services especially for the poor and disadvantaged. A community focused and people centered approach has been adapted by ESDO while consideration was given to the national policy and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its guiding principle. ESDO is one of the most dynamic organizations expanding its development interventions across 377 upazilas under 52 districts of Bangladesh covering over 12 million poor and vulnerable people.
∎ • Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), an apex development organization focusing on holistic and integrated approaches, was established by the Government of Bangladesh in May 1990 for sustainable poverty reduction through employment generation. PKSF has been implementing projects and programs in diversified sectors including sustainable enterprise, training and education, agriculture, climate change and disaster and so on. PKSF works with more than 15 million households through its 200 partner organizations. Many development partners, such as the World Bank, DFID, EU, ADB, IFAD, GIZ, GCF, and Adaptation Fund (AF) are working with PKSF. Please visit http://www.pksf.org.bd for details.
∎ • PKSF has been accredited to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the only dedicated and largest climate change finance window, established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in 2013. The GCF has approved the ECCCP-Drought project in the fact that Bangladesh faces an unpredictable drought hazard due to inadequate and uneven rainfall that affects the timing of onset and end of the monsoon season. The northwestern Barind region/districts of Bangladesh suffer the most from droughts. Climate change is changing the nature of droughts in Barind by increasing temperature and variations in precipitation. During droughts, almost all-natural surface water sources evaporate, leaving none for drinking, sanitation or agriculture. The human cost is measured in a greater incidence of disease, especially among children and lack of nutrition due to crop failure, increased poverty and reduced development potential.
∎ • The main objective of the project is to increase the resilience of climate vulnerable-communities in drought-prone areas of Bangladesh. This objective is expected to be achieved by implementing activities covering three main components: i) improved institutional and technical capacities to address climate change-induced drought, ii) increased availability of surface and ground water for irrigation and drinking, and iii) drought-resilient livelihoods created through sustainable agricultural production.
∎ • The Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) is going to implement GCF & PKSF Funded ECCCP-Drought project at Patnitola Upazilla of Naogaon District. For implementing the project, Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) is seeking qualified candidate for the position of the “Accountant cum MIS Officer” in its Project Management Unit (PMU) of the ECCCP-Drought project.

∎ Job Responsibilities
∎ • Assist the PC in planning, monitoring, and supervising the implementation of project activities.
∎ • Maintain accurate and complete financial records for the project, including income, expenditure, and asset management.
∎ • Prepare and submit regular financial reports (monthly, quarterly, and annually) to the PC and PKSF Management.
∎ • Ensure compliance with GCF & PKSF's financial policies and procedures.
∎ • Process payments to project vendors and consultants timely and accurately.
∎ • Manage payroll for project staff.
∎ • Reconcile bank statements and other financial accounts.
∎ • Develop and implement a robust Management Information System (MIS) for the project.
