Vacancy Announcement


ETHIOPIAN AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION AGENCY


 


Position:                              Livestock Value Chain Development Expert, ACC Regional Secretariat  


Term of Employment:   Project-based 1 Year Term with Possible Extension


Duty Station(s):               Oromia Region  (Addis Ababa)


 Required Number:         one


 Salary & Benefits:          Competitive


Application Deadline:   May 10, 2015


 


BACKGROUND:


The Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) has been established by the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) to identify and address systemic bottlenecks to Ethiopia’s agricultural development and transformation. The Agency does this through problem-solving, project implementation and support, and coordination and capacity building of stakeholders involved in implementation.


The National Framework for Agricultural Commercialization Clusters (ACC) is being introduced in Ethiopia by the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency, the Synergos Institute, and partners at the Federal and Regional levels, and from the development and private sectors. ACCs apply a geographically-focused approach for rapidly enhancing priority agricultural commodity value chains throughout the country. The implementation of this National Framework will support agricultural sector transformation by enhancing and supporting existing structures to address systemic as well as commodity- and geography-specific bottlenecks across priority commodity value chains. This Framework builds on previous federal and regional efforts for value chain development and advocates for a more focused and market-driven solution with significant coordination between diverse public, private and development sector actors.


To support implementation of this National Framework for ACCs, Regional ACC Secretariats are being established by Regional Governments with the following main responsibilities:


·         Provide effective upward reporting to the Regional President and the Regional ACC Board, chaired by the Regional President and the Head of the Bureau of Agriculture, as well as to the National ACC Coordination and Capacity-building Unit


·         Act as Secretary of the Regional ACC Board, including organizing and supporting Board meetings, following up on actions agreed, and other related responsibilities

The Livestock Value Chain Development Expert will report to the Secretariat Lead, provide livestock value chain knowledge and expertise to the Secretariat team and monitor progress and provide technical backstopping on cluster interventions across the entire value chain from input and production to markets at the regional level. The Livestock Value Chain Development Expert will also support the diagnosis, design and implementation of ACC strategies and interventions. As an integral part of the livestock value chain definition, there is a natural flow or sequencing of activities from production to markets, so that, the Livestock Value Chain Development Expert will also engage in coordinating stakeholders along the Value Chain (including those involved in aggregation and market linkage activities). The ideal candidate will therefore possess very strong knowledge and experience of livestock value chains, market linkages and livestock systemic issues. The candidate will also demonstrate a passion for transforming agriculture and improving the lives of small-holder farmers.
