SIDA PROJECT REGIONAL JOBS (REF: DDG-R4D/SIDA/RLP/12/10)
BACKGROUND:
IITA is an international non-profit research-for-development (R4D) organization created in 1967, governed by a Board of Trustees, and supported primarily by the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Our R4D is anchored on the development needs of sub-Saharan Africa. We develop agricultural solutions with our partners to tackle hunger and poverty by reducing producer and consumer risks, enhancing crop quality and productivity, and generating wealth from agriculture. We have more than 100 internationally recruited scientists from about 35 countries and 900 nationally recruited staff based in various stations across Africa. Please visit http://www.iita.org for more information on IITA.
IITA intends to implement a project entitled: Making Agricultural Innovations Work for Smallholder Farmers Affected by HIV and AIDS in Southern Africa (MIRACLE). The overall objectives of the project are to contribute towards sustainable livelihoods of People Living With HIV and AIDS (PLWHIV) in Southern Africa and to improve their health and nutritional status, food security and income through the production, consumption and marketing of nutritionally-enhanced crop and livestock products, lobbying for supportive agricultural and health policies, and strengthening the capacity of key stakeholders engaged in agricultural activities.
IITA is looking for suitably qualified persons to fill the following positions:
1. PROJECT MANAGER: The Project Manager will monitor the day-to-day management and coordination of the project in the region in consultation with technical scientists on the project and the Project Management Team (PMT).
