Annonce   -   Research Coordinator PAGRIS |   Author   NYAMIBARA ETIENNE

The International Fertiliser Center for Development (IFDC) is starting a new project called PAGRIS. This four-year project (March 2020 – February 2024) is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Burundi PAGRIS seeks to achieve ecologically sustainable land management in Burundi at three levels: plot, slope and institutional level. PAGRIS aims to reach 100,000 family farms and sustainably manage 14,000 ha of land by further upscaling the PIP approach from IFDCs PAPAB project . At the plot level, PAGRIS will co-create, test and implement integrated land stewardship strategies and practices to improve yield, income and soil fertility, using Participatory Learning and Action in close collaboration with farming households. At the slope level, PAGRIS will improve landscape management of slopes/watersheds through collective community action, in which all farmers on a slope design a land use management plan to tackle soil erosion, reach stewardship agreements, and implement integrated practices. At the institutional level, PAGRIS will contribute to a favorable institutional environment that improves the availability, access, and utilization of context-specific fertilizer products and techniques. It will do so by building capacity at agricultural knowledge institutes, identifying and assisting in cost-effective organo-mineral fertilizer blends, and supporting the national fertilizer subsidy program

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies 1 million smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural trainings to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 percent more food after working with One Acre Fund. Job Description The Business Operations department, or BizOps, is responsible for both client facing and non-client facing back office aspects of our program. This includes a Client Data Management team who ensure timely and accurate client repayment and order data, a Customer Engagement team who ensure excellent customer service through a call center and SMS services, and a Field Audit team who aim to prevent and catch fraud by conducting investigations in the field. The BizOps Associate will lead a combination of these teams within the BizOps department in order to implement projects critical to the organization’s continued growth The BizOps Associate will work closely with our core field operations on a daily basis and will support the growth of our client base by building, developing, and motivating a large team of national staff team members with a focus on efficient process design, considered structure, and ambitious achievements. This role will require a high-level of responsibility and we need someone who can effectively meet goals and deliver results through coordination and communication, process design and implementation, team building and leadership development. The BizOps Associate will manage a growing team across a growing geographic area and support the rollout of products and services at both mature and testing stages. The BizOps Associate will also play an important role in key operational changes. For example, we are planning or implementing a transition in several of our country programs to direct farmer mobile repayments. Implementing the systems behind a transition of thousands of rural farmers from cash to mobile money will be a key project requiring the BizOps Associate’s support.
