1. Background
Roma-Powered Growth is a 36-month regional action implemented across the Western Balkans by a consortium of Roma-led institutions led by the Roma Foundation for Europe (RFE), together with the Roma Education Fund (REF), the Roma Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (REDI) and the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC), with the support of the European Commission. The action addresses structural barriers to Roma labour-market participation across the lifecycle through three work packages: WP1 Employment, WP2 Education,
and WP3 Entrepreneurship.
REDI leads Work Package 3 – Entrepreneurship: Formalisation, Growth and Market Access. WP3 supports Roma micro-entrepreneurs and Roma cultural workers to formalise, grow, and access finance and markets. It is delivered through five interlinked activities: the redi.business digital support platform; Entrepreneurship Hubs and Business Clubs providing business diagnostics, mentoring and EntreComp-based training; access to finance and market integration; policy engagement to strengthen the environment for Roma entrepreneurship and business formalisation; and monitoring, evidence generation and preparation for scale-up.
WP3 operates in two regional clusters — Region 1 (North Macedonia and Serbia) and Region 2 (Albania and Montenegro) — through a network of four Entrepreneurship Hubs, and aims to support approximately 3800 Roma entrepreneurs. Expected results include increased business formalisation, EntreComp certification, tailored technical assistance, improved finance-readiness and greater access to finance and markets, contributing to the EU Growth Plan for the Western Balkans and related enlargement processes (Roma Ministerial, Berlin Process).
2. Purpose of the position
The Dissemination Officers support outreach, visibility and stakeholder communication at country level, ensuring that Roma entrepreneurs enter the programme and that WP3 results reach chambers of commerce, SME actors, institutions and communities.
3. Objectives

- Support the organisation and promotion of redi.business platform, Business Club and EntreComp events.
- Country-level outreach and communication activities delivered against plan.

- Local dissemination materials compliant with EU visibility rules.
- Degree or equivalent experience in communications, marketing, community development or a related field.
- Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in outreach, communication or community mobilisation.

The post-holder works within the REDI-led team and coordinates closely with the consortium's Central Programme Management Unit (RFE) and, where relevant, with REF and ERIAC.
