- Description
- I. BACKGROUND Tanzania is a potential focus country under the Obama Administration's Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative (GHFSI), thus USAID/Tanzania is poised to receive substantial increases in funding for its agriculture program. Currently, the mission has been able to achieve positive results with minimal resources. Programs have focused on strengthening local capacity in providing and supplying the local, regional and national economy, and in overcoming food insecurity and malnutrition. Further, strong emphasis has been placed on hastening the acceleration of food production and the creation of an enabling environment for the private sector. Notwithstanding, attention has also been focused on raising the incomes and living standards of the poor, particularly women, who are dependent on agriculture. II. BASIC FUNCTION OF THE POSITION The Senior Agriculture/Food Security Advisor (SA/FSA) will be US Embassy Dar es Salaam and USAID/Tanzania's focal point and technical expert for agricultural development in Tanzania and will play a leadership role in coordinating the mission's programs with the Government of Tanzania (GOT), donor partners and other stakeholders. Moreover, as USAID/Tanzania's Food Security Lead, s/he will spearhead the US Government's Whole of Government approach to the Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative (GHFSI), and consult regularly with GOT in its quest to implement its Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Program Compact. Further, s/he will report directly to the Mission Director, or his designee, and assume responsibility for establishing and leading a new Agriculture/Food Security Team.
