Description
Global Communities, formerly CHF International, is an
international non-profit organization that works closely with communities
worldwide to bring about sustainable changes that improve the lives and
livelihoods of the vulnerable.
Global Communities seeks a Chief of Party for our current
USAID Feed the Future (FtF)-funded Ejo Heza, (Brighter Future in
Kinyarwanda) program, a five-year project running from 2011 to 2016. The
overarching objective of the program is to improve the livelihoods and
nutrition of Rwanda’s rural poor (75,000), especially women, by building
sustainable linkages to financial services, inputs, markets and information
that drive economic opportunity in rural areas.
The Chief of Party will be responsible for maintaining
partnerships and ensuring smooth implementation of work plan activities.
The COP and senior management team will be responsible for linkages to Rwanda
Partner Organizations (RPOs) and program implementation to ensure proper
monitoring, technical quality of program interventions, and accountability.
This team will collaborate closely with RPOs in partnership with
district officials and local authorities, and will provide oversight to ensure
strong, sustainable linkages.
The COP’s background should include:
- Demonstrated
expertise as a chief-of-party with a minimum of 5 years of experience
managing large (at least $10 million), complex USAID agricultural or rural
development programs with a value chain growth focus, preferably within an
African context;
- Experience
leading collaborative efforts with multiple stakeholders—i.e., between
other USAID and FtF recipients, INGOs, Local NGOs and GoR.
- A
successful track record in policy analysis and dialogue with host country
governments
- The
ability to be collaborative across projects, flexible and creative; and
- Strong
communications and interpersonal skills with evidence of ability to
productively interact with a wide range and levels of organizations
(government, private sector, NGOs, research institutions).
All interested individuals are encouraged to apply and
should submit their updated resumes and cover letters to the Chief of Party
