- Description
- FEED THE FUTURE TEAM LEADER/AGRICULTURE ADVISOR As a Feed the Future (FTF) focus country, USAID/Malawi has a substantial agriculture and food security program exceeding $80 million over five years. A key member of USAID/Malawi's Sustainable Economic Growth (SEG) Office, the Feed the Future Team Leader / Agriculture Advisor will support the implementation of FTF and related food security and resilience initiatives. The principal function is to support FTF programming and directly oversee implementation of activities to achieve measurable results in improving food security in Malawi through sustainable increases in productivity, strengthening the competitiveness of target value chains, expanding agricultural trade, and improving nutritional outcomes for women and children. The FTF Malawi program is working to diversify and sustainably intensify smallholder agriculture production, with a focus on legumes and orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, and to increase agricultural incomes and reduce rural poverty. This work is complemented by programs which undertake messaging to encourage dietary diversification and improved nutrition behaviors. USAID/Malawi's FTF program is highly integrated with the Food for Peace (FFP) development and Global Climate Change (GCC) programs, and is increasingly focused on enhancing resilience through an integrated approach with FFP, GCC, and other sectors. The performance period for this position will be two years.
