This will be achieved by a selection of interventions under two broad objectives i) Private Sector-Led ASF Value Chains Strengthened; ii) Increase Demand for ASF Consumption for Women and Children. To accomplish this goal, Orora Wihaze seeks to remove production, marketing and consumption constraints affecting dietary diversity of households, especially for women of reproductive age and children of 6-23 months. For households that do not produce or sell ASF, Orora Wihaze will enhance access to safe ASF through development of the existing market system.

The Orora Wihaze activity will use a private sector oriented, market facilitation approach to achieve the intended goal. The approach must sustainably increase livestock productivity, improve relationships across actors in the ASF value chains, build capacity of enterprises in the ASF sector, facilitate access to finance and increase private sector investments in ASF value chains.

Position Summary:

The Intervention Portfolio Manager (IPM) will be based in Kigali and will serve as the frontline intervention liaison responsible for supporting implementation of activities across two interventions; i) Development of ASF production and ii) Development of ASF product working in close collaboration with the intervention leads.  The IPM will establish relationships and coordinate closely with key private sector partners and public sector stakeholders, and other development implementers to facilitate existing activities and identify opportunities for both scale and replication. The IPM will be integrated into the activity implementation team to provide support the implementation of market-led innovations with nutrition sensitive approaches in alignment with project objectives.  The IPM will liaise closely with the Orora Wihaze Senior Policy and Institutional Development Specialist and Senior Nutritionist to continuously provide feedback and learning for the Activity within the two key intervention areas of focus.
