# Grants officer (F/M) > Médecins du Monde · Kabul, Afghanistan · Temporary · Posted 2026-10-29 **Workplace:** on_site **Department:** Direction des Opérations Internationales ## Description Do you want to join a committed, activist-driven organization and take meaningful action for social justice? For over 40 years, Médecins du Monde has been delivering healthcare to the most vulnerable, challenging barriers to access, and driving long-term change in health policies. In France and across nearly 30 countries, our work is built around six core missions: - Sexual and reproductive health and rights (including access to safe abortion) - Migration, exile, human rights and health - Harm reduction - Health and the environment - Healthcare systems - Humanitarian spaces ### MdM in Afghanistan Médecins du Monde re-opened its mission in Afghanistan in 2021 and currently implements programmes in primary healthcare, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), nutrition and harm reduction through a combination of direct implementation and partnerships with local organizations. The mission operates in a complex environment marked by restrictions imposed by de facto authorities, constraints affecting women’s participation and access to services, evolving humanitarian needs and significant challenges for the health system. Current programmes are implemented in Wardak, Farah and Nimroz provinces and place a strong emphasis on community engagement, quality of care and access to essential health services. In 2025 and 2026, the mission significantly expanded its operations through new funding secured from ECHO, CDCS, and GFFO. The current funding strategy focuses on diversifying the donor portfolio and securing additional funding sources to further expand programmatic coverage. To support this objective, a donor mapping tool has been developed and is regularly updated by the grants officer, in coordination with the deputy general coordinator, to ensure systematic monitoring and follow-up of potential funding opportunities.[](https://mdm1-my.sharepoint.com/personal/bertrand_brequeville_medecinsdumonde_net/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7B27FC6731-4090-493B-9B38-366500EEC404%7D&file=Interview%20Guide_Medical%20Coordinator%20Afghanistan.docx&action=default&mobileredirect=true) ### About the role You will be responsible for coordinating and overseeing grants management, donor compliance, resource mobilization, and partnership and donor engagement for MdM in Afghanistan.
