VACANCIES, CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES (CRS), MONDAY 25, JUNE 2012

JOB TITLE: HEAD OF UNIT – AGRICULTURE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
REGION: Central Africa
REPORTS TO: Head of Programming
BASED IN: Abuja, Nigeria
PLEASE NOTE: This position is open to Nigerian Nationals only
BACKGROUND
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is an international non-governmental organization supporting relief and development work in over 99 countries around the world. CRS programs assist persons on the basis of need, regardless of creed, ethnicity or nationality. CRS works through local church and non-church partners to implement its programs. Therefore, strengthening and building the capacity of these partner organizations is fundamental to our approach in every country in which CRS operates. CRS re-established its presence in Nigeria in 2000 and currently focuses on agriculture, governance, peacebuilding and Health/HIV programming.
Livelihoods and agriculture programming, with a focus on increasing community resiliency and linking smallholder farmers to markets, is an area of potential growth for CRS/Nigeria. CRS/Nigeria’s agricultural program started in Nigeria in 2009 with the implementation of the USAID-funded Emergency Rice Initiative (ERI) – a two-year multi-country project aimed at boosting rice production in four countries in West Africa. The ERI project has resulted in two follow-on projects piloting the use of Savings and Internal Lending Communities to support economic strengthening of farmers and a web-based site-specific nutrient manager program to maximize fertilizer utilization. CRS/Nigeria will soon begin implementing the Sustainable Cassava Seed System project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The project focus is the establishment of a commercial cassava seed system in Benue and Oyo states. CRS/Nigeria’s agriculture interventions focus on improving access to and storage of improved seed varieties, farmer mobilization and empowerment, and the development of market-based value chains through linkages with research institutions, government agencies, the private sector and other development partners.
JOB SUMMARY
CRS/Nigeria is seeking a Head of Unit for Agriculture and Economic Growth (HoU) to build the programming through strategic linkages with government and donor initiatives and CRS local partners. The HoU will be responsible for leading the strategic development and management of programs that economically empower vulnerable populations. The HoU will design and manage programs that address constraints to small-scale agriculture productivity and provide technical assistance to very poor farmers and their households to improve production and increase income. Interventions may also include strengthening of producer and processing groups, household support in savings and lending as well as nutrition, and supporting improved systems for public and private provision of inputs. The HoU will work in partnership with local civil society organizations and state agriculture development programs throughout the country.
The HoU will be responsible for overall management of agriculture and economic growth programs; will provide strategic and operational leadership to develop and implement successful programs; and will represent CRS/Nigeria to multiple donors and the Government of Nigeria. The HoU will report to the Head of Programs and will maintain close liaison with relevant Regional Technical Advisors and the CRS All Africa Agriculture Team.
