Program Officer at AGRA

Opportunities to Excel
 

The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is a partnership that works with governments, donors, NGOs, the private sector, and African farmers to significantly and sustainably improve the productivity and income of resource-poor farmers in Africa. 

                                     

Founded and initially funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, AGRA supports interventions aimed at improving seed systems, soil fertility, input and output markets, policies, and other priority sectors, with the overall objective of reducing food insecurity. 

AGRA aims to achieve these goals by: supporting and building capability of farmers and enterprises across the agricultural value chain; being a thought-leader on African agriculture by collecting, packaging, and disseminating knowledge; and creating strong partnerships with public, private, and donor actors to drive change within the sector. 

AGRA is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, and has an office in Accra, Ghana.
 

The Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) is a US$205m private sector fund, backed by some of the biggest names in development finance and hosted by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). 

Our aim is to encourage private sector companies to compete for investment support for their new and innovative business ideas.
 

The AECF is a special partnership initiative of AGRA that supports AGRA's mission. 

The Board of AGRA provides the governance structure for the AECF and is responsible to the AECF's donors. 

However, in practice, the AECF operates as an independent fund reporting to its own Investment Committee which in turn reports to a Governing Council made up of its donor funders and ultimately AGRA's Board. 

The AECF is open to proposals from any country in the world as long as the project implementation will be in the specified country. Multi-country and regional projects are also eligible. We operate from three regional hubs (Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg and Harare).
 

AGRA is seeking a highly competent and experienced individual for the position of AECF Program Officer who will enable the AECF to strengthen its oversight and management of a rapidly expanding portfolio as well as the operations by the Fund Manager.
 

Reporting directly to the Executive Manager (EM), the officer will liaise with the Fund Manager’s team and be responsible for the monitoring of technical and financial information regarding the portfolio of AECF investments in agribusiness, rural financial services and renewable energy / adaptation to climate change.

Key Responsibilities

General program management

• Analysis of investment climate in designated AECF countries on a quarterly basis, identifying threats and opportunities for the Fund;
• Manage day-to-day operations and activities with partners such as Infodev, SEDF and Norfund and actively maintain relations with the ANDE Network, of which the AECF is a member;
• Prepare AC and AGRA Board proposals for the EM and professionalize the lay-out and presentation, possibly in cooperation with AGRA’s communication department (graphics, etc.);
• Manage the contracts with local NGO’s on TA to indigenous/women led enterprises and assess for the EM the quality and quantity of the proposals the AECF receives;
• Conduct analytical work to constantly assess the market position of a challenge fund mechanism vis à vis other impact investors that are operational or being developed;
• Liaise with AGRA’s programs on seeds, soils, markets, support to farmers organizations and policy and identify opportunities for closer cooperation and information sharing;
• Assist the EM in preparing for international events and forums in terms of presentations, publications and media relations.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

• Assist the EM in preparing half-yearly progress reports with research and analysis, formulating policy issues and recommendations and assist in improving the general lay-out;
• In cooperation with AGRA’s communications department, work on an annual report before 1st of April of each calendar year;
• Prepare and budget evaluation and learning activities as described in the comprehensive M,L&E plan, including management of relations with external partners such as CTA/CDI on research for case studies;
• On a regular basis liaise with AGRA’s M&E unit, the Evaluation Management Unit as well as the FM’s M&E staff, including AusAid interns and partners such as Triple Line Consulting and identify opportunities for storytelling and PR in newsletters, on the AGRA and AECF websites and other channels;
