ABOUT ONE ACRE FUND

One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural training to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers increase profits by 50 percent on the activities we support.

We are growing quickly. We serve more than 950,000 farm families in Eastern and Southern Africa, with more than 7,500 full-time staff, and we aim to serve 1,250,000 farm families in 2020.

THE ROLES 

One Acre Fund is growing quickly, and we plan to at least triple our farmer impact in the next five years. This offers Program Associates a powerful career opportunity: learn from a successful field operation, contribute to aggressive growth, and make improvements to our program.

We are looking for Program Associates for a variety of teams within One Acre Fund, including: 

Operations:

Our country operation teams face the classic management challenge: how to keep a large country operation growing at 30-60% per year while also making improvements to our operating model. Program Associates learn from our organization’s deep knowledge on scaling rural field programs; then, they are challenged to find new ways to stretch, grow faster, and increase our quality of service.

  • Field operations staff focus on farmer-facing services. Staff help to develop and manage the performance of 500-3,000 field staff. Some roles are more general; others specialize in important moments like new site expansion, enrollment, and repayment.
  • Support operations staff create the infrastructure for growth. These teams might operate and improve our deliveries to thousands of drop sites; enable mobile money integration in a country; or improve the flow of tens of millions of SMS and phone calls with farmers.

Innovations:

Our Innovation teams discover new ideas for our programs and conduct dozens of trials to test these ideas.

  • Product Innovations staff improve our core agricultural products or run new experiments in energy and health products. For example, our Product Innovations team is investigating the delivery of live chickens and preparing the product for a full-scale rollout.
  • Program Design staff improve our core operating model. They test program model changes and analyze the resulting impact on customer satisfaction. Changes can include small shifts such as changing our loan structure, to more radical shifts like opening physical shops.

Daily, all roles involve a mix of activities:

  • Understanding and solving problems: observing field operations, meeting with leaders of our field staff, running surveys, conducting desk research, analyzing performance indicators, etc. Then creating simple and lasting solutions to complex problems.
  • Planning and executing large projects: identifying clear goals, creating project calendars, designing workflows, creating field tools and talking points, designing incentive systems, building buy-in across hundreds of staff, following up and monitoring project execution in the field, etc.
  • Building teams: hiring staff using One Acre Fund’s unique “experiential hiring” system, mentoring deputies, and steadily handing off responsibility to your team as you build it.
  • Communicating with other teams: working together with One Acre Fund’s other teams on the ground to provide a smooth customer experience in the simplest way possible.

One Acre Fund has deep operational experience running rural field programs at scale. Program Associates benefit from the large size and experience of One Acre Fund, building skills through immersion in our operating environment. At the same time, Program Associates also serve on a small team-within-a-team, with the autonomy to deliver results and improve operations.

CAREER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

You may report to a Program Manager (in larger operations) or the Country Director (in our smallest program countries). We have a culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentors and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You can help shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.

Background

The UNDP JPO Programme equips outstanding young leaders with the skills and experience required to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and make a positive difference in the world. As a pathway into the world of development, the programme offers young professionals’ excellent exposure to multilateral cooperation and sustainable development while providing a valuable entry point into the UN system. During their assignments, JPOs benefit from the guidance of experienced UNDP staff members and are actively involved in supporting the design and implementation of UNDP’s programs within UNDP’s headquarters, regional or country offices




Following the security and political crisis in 2012 in Mali, UNDP remained committed to accompanying the country in the restoration of state authority, improvement in rule of law, conflict transformation and sustained peace with emphasis on strengthening social cohesion and national reconciliation, improving resilience to economic and climatic shocks of vulnerable groups. Equally, UNDP contributes significantly in the implementation of the 2015 Peace and Reconciliation Agreement which provides the impetus to decentralised governance, strengthening local peace infrastructures and providing local community solutions to include emphasis on empowering youth and women.

The current UNDP Country Programme (CPD 2016-2019) for Mali ends in December 2019. The formulation of a new country programme (2020-2024) is underway which responds to the Government’s priorities as articulated in the new National Development Framework (CREDD 2019-2024).  It provides strategic responses in the areas of (a) democratic governance and Conflict Transformation; (b) Inclusive economic growth and Private Sector Dynamism; and (c) Adaptation to climate change and sustainable development.  The CPD via its programme approach, mobilisation of broad-based partnership, intends to catalyse integrated innovative solutions that respond to the priority needs of the country, deliver cross thematic outcomes across a range of SDGs and boost the implementation of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals and the 2063 African Union Agenda.

Over the next five years, UNDP Mali intends to strongly support the Government of Mali during this critical and fragile period, accompanying the peacebuilding process and the operationalization of the “Humanitarian-Peace-Development” nexus to ensure durable recovery, sustainable development and the consolidation and peace. The new Programme aims to contribute to the emergence of a Malian society where citizens regain confidence in their institutions, exercise fundamental human and democratic rights; live in an environment of peace, are resilient to crises and climatic shocks and enjoy the fruits of inclusive economic growth.




The UNDP strategy in democratic governance is implemented through initiatives aimed at restoring the capacity and authority of the State including effective presence of the administration to the north and the Centre regions, strengthening capacity of relevant institutions to provide basic services, and reinforcing the rule of law and access to justice. The interventions will be carried out in partnership with the key national institutions, international partners to include the Netherlands. With the Global Focal Point (GFP) on rule of law, UNDP will play an integrative role in advancing human rights. The partnership with MINUSMA will facilitate joint initiatives particularly in the security and justice sectors.

Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) is an autonomous body established by law N°14/2017 of 14/04/2017. RAB has a general mission of developing agriculture and animal resources through research, agricultural and animal resources extension in order to increase agricultural and animal productivity as well as their derived. Its vision is to improve food security and livelihoods of all Rwandans by transforming agriculture from subsistence into modern farming through generating research and extension innovations that generate sustainable crop, animal husbandry and natural resource management

Under the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the following three (3) are implemented by the Single Project Implementation Unit (SPIU): Climate Resilience Post­harvest and Agribusiness Support Project (PASP) and Rwanda Dairy Development Project (RDDP) implemented and managed by RAB, and the Rural Income through Exports (PRICE) implemented and managed by NAEB though SPIU of IFAD Funded Projects.

1.Project for Rural Income through Exports — PRICE (2011-2020)




PRICE helps smallholder farmers to increase benefits from key export-driven and sustainable agricultural value chains through greater production volume and quality, improved marketing and effective fanner organizations. The total cost of the programme is US$57.4 million. IFAD is providing US$48.7 million, including a grant of US$18.7 million. IFAD’s Executive Board approved supplementary financing of US$8.5 in April 2018. This project benefits approximately 128,700 households, especially woman-headed households and households with little land and which are involved in coffee or tea production, sericulture and horticulture.

2.Climate Resilient Post-Harvest and Agribusiness Support Project- PASP (2014-2019)




PASP aims at reducing post-harvest losses in key value-chain commodities (maize, beans, cassava, Irish potatoes and dairy) to increase incomes of smallholder and rural labourers, especially women and youth. The total project cost is US$83.4 million, and it is expected to benefit about 32,400 rural households. IFAD is financing approximately US$27 million, half in loan and half in grant form. The project is strengthened through an investment of US$7.0 million from the Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP), which aims to increase smallholder resilience.

3.Rwanda Dairy Development Project — RDDP (2017-2022)

RDDP is meant to contribute to pro-poor economic growth and improve the livelihoods of resource-poor rural households. It aims to increase the dairy sector’s competitiveness and profitability through provision of quality products from small-scale producers to domestic and regional consumers, thus improving their livelihoods, food security and nutrition while building overall resilience.

The total project cost is US$65.1 million, including an IFAD loan of US$43.6 million and a grant of US$1.1 million. It is co-financed by Heifer International (US$4.0 million) and is expected to reach approximately 100,000 resource-poor rural households.
