  • Fellow – Output Market and Trade Systems Analysis for African Geographies

    Fellow – Output Market and Trade Systems Analysis for African Geographies

    Project Objective
    Over a period of four months, the Fellow will assess the main delivery models that are used to develop output market and trade systems for increased farmers’ income and food security. The main goal for this assignment is to compare existing and potential delivery models for strengthening output markets and trade systems with quantified potential/projection of impact. On the basis of this, AGRA seeks a list of impact investment funds with the investment appetite, skills, and investment profile to invest in farmer-sourcing businesses and their target countries. Then, the team will recommend best practices for creating effective technical assistance that can attract more impact investments in food crop value chains. Finally, the Fellow would model an investment plan with cost estimates, suggested high-impact partners, and entry points for AGRA as part of a re-aligned strategy.
    Activities and Workplan
    TechnoServe will use its strategic approach to problem-solving to frame this complex problem and develop a clear strategy for AGRA with specific programmatic outcomes at the end.

    Assess landscape and identify solutions: The team will spend time with AGRA partners meeting with the relevant actors to understand their current incentive structures, the historical and current challenges, and the structural changes or investments required to overcome them. We will also identify and interview investors, aggregators, warehouse operators, processors, and service providers to inform our understanding their incentives, and the types of needs we need to prioritize.
    Develop strategy: countries, sectors, partners: Any strategy needs to make choices around how to achieve this in practice, which should be primarily driven by the intrinsic attractiveness of mechanisms for the various key actors. Within this activity, the team will meet with potential investors, off-takers, and industry stakeholders to understand their appetite to invest in the various mechanisms and what support they require to create a successful business case. We will also have conversations with the AGRA team about how to adjust the existing portfolio in terms of building on existing relationships and/or forging new ones.
    Detail investment plan and impact plan: We will develop a top-down estimate of the cost to create the priority mechanisms based on reasonable benchmarks developed in earlier activities. We will also identify areas with high potential for external co-investment based on TechnoServe’s knowledge and experience with donors of different nature. This analysis, together with the findings from the updated strategy, will be rolled up into a summary investment/impact case for AGRA and potential impact investors.
    Develop roadmap: We now have all the inputs required to craft the roadmap that will guide AGRA in the implementation of its updated delivery models. This will include:

    Timeline of mechanisms with corresponding targets and annual investment
    Scale, investment and impact projections
    Project management responsibilities and action plan
    Next steps for partnership conversations

    The results from our work will be presented to AGRA across four workshops during the project.
    Skills and Requirements

    Demonstrated ability to effectively service clients/partners in the private sector
    Professional experience in developing countries
    Proven analytical and modeling skills
    Demonstrated leadership skills, teamwork and relationship building
    Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills
    Strong computer skills, including MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel
    Able to work independently, flexibly and responsively
    Able to adapt to changing working conditions
