The Board and Leadership team at Charity People is thrilled to be partnering with Amnesty International UK in their 2024 Board Recruitment.
Amnesty International UK:
Amnesty International UK operates in the UK as two distinct legal entities: Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘the Charitable Trust’), and Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘the UK Section’). Each entity is governed by its own Board with the two working together and co-operating but remaining independent. Each Board operates and makes decisions based on the long-term interests of their respective entity and within the constraints imposed by applicable UK law, their separate constitutions and the overall rules of the global Amnesty International movement.
Campaigns and Impact Sub-Committee:
The Campaigns and Impact Sub-Committee provides strategic support and oversight of Amnesty International UK’s human rights change aims, set out in Goal 3 of the Strategic Plan – winning human rights victories and in support of that, the work of the strategy’s enabler strand on Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning.
The panel would like to hear from applicants with competence in the following areas:
- Expertise in monitoring and evaluation
- Impact/Data assessment
- Campaign planning and implementation
- Human rights
- Anti-racism
- Insight for communications and campaigns effectiveness
- An understanding of campaigning, grassroots/rightsholder groups
The Campaigns and Impact Sub-Committee (CISC) is a Board Committee of both Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘Section’) and Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘Trust’).
The purpose of the Campaigns and Impact Sub-Committee is to assist the Section and Trust Boards and staff to improve the effectiveness of its human rights and campaigning work at a strategic level and to improve its ability to evaluate the impact of our campaigns.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- To provide strategic oversight of the overall body of campaigning work
- To provide support and scrutiny on monitoring, evaluation and learning across campaigns,
