Regional Coordinator, USAID Kenya Private Sector Activity at Palladium International
1 month ago
Summary
Palladium is seeking a Regional Coordinator for an anticipated USAID-funded economic growth program which is anticipated to begin in 2023.
S/he, working closely with the technical team, will be responsible for leading and managing programmatic and operational planning, implementation, and monitoring of regional offices based in TBD.
The USAID/Kenya and East Africa Feed the Future (FtF) Private Sector Activity (PSA) will be a 5-year program focused on accelerating agriculture-led growth in Kenya through partnerships with large agricultural sector firms (such as processors and off-takers) and expansion of smallholder farmer out-grower schemes.
The anticipated activity will focus on creating jobs and generating large scale increases in sales/exports in the agriculture sector cost-effectively and, ideally, through a sustainable and locally-led vehicle.
The activity would combine tools used in USAID's traditional private sector development activities with tools used to mobilize finance and investment into one mechanism – supporting a range of agricultural firms to expand investments and operations via a blended finance approach.
