Dear Economic Commission for Africa,
I am writing in regards to the Advocacy Manager position that I saw advertised on your website. I am immensely passionate about the work that the Economic Commission for Africa does in terms of promoting economic development and integration in Africa, and I firmly believe that I have the skills and experience required to excel in this role.
In my current role as Communications Officer for Oxfam GB, I have been responsible for leading, advising and supporting the development and integration of communication and public advocacy strategies. This has included overseeing the production of a range of information kits, implementing information programs and promotional campaigns, and developing and maintaining relationships with key external stakeholders. I have also played a leading role in developing and delivering training on communication and advocacy for staff and partners.
Through my work, I have developed a strong understanding of the complexities of working in the development sector, and I have gained a reputation for being an effective and innovative communicator. I am confident that I could bring these skills and experience to bear in the Advocacy Manager role, and I would be keen to play a leading role in developing and delivering advocacy strategies that promote economic development and integration in Africa.
I would be interested in discussing the Advocacy Manager role with you further, and I would be keen to explore any opportunities to work with the Economic Commission for Africa in the future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Silence Mugadzaweta
