no longer exists - Country Director Africare Employee Review

A great working environment, caring management.

Nothing that sticks out from my experience.

Africare employees are passionate about the work, and they are committed to the organization's mission.

There are many issues at Africare. 1) The organization has no direction. Africare adopted an "anything goes" approach to business. There's no BD strategy except "get any money you can find." 2) Africare, much like its senior leadership team, is having an identity crisis. Africare will change its competencies to suit the checkbook of its donors, even if they have no real experience in that sector. 3) The organization is fighting to stay relevant in an innovative landscape, but somehow refuses to invest in innovative concepts, employees or partners. 4) Africare boasts that "95 percent" of its staff is African, but there are no Africans in leadership positions at headquarters. 6) The senior leadership team is like the unpopular group of kids from HS who are now adults and are very determined to shed those personas. They are reckless leaders, completely oblivious to how low morale is, and worst of all, they are willing to demoralize their employees to make a point. As a result, the employee attrition rate has skyrocketed. 7) Hard work will not advance you at Africare. If senior leadership likes you enough, they'll make a new position for you. If not, be ready for your termination of employment.
