Program Rotation Associate

Job DescriptionNote there is also a more senior version of this role available here.Concretely Speaking, Selected Program Rotation Associates Will Have The Opportunity To Rotate Through a Progression Of Field-based Postings, Followed By The Opportunity For a Permanent Posting Or Further Rotations Depending On The Candidate’s Interests

First 12-24 months: Rotate between several ~6-month long posts
Subsequently: Permanently fill a role of particular interest for the candidate and priority for the organization

Example Rotations Include

Field Operations: This team is the direct service provider to our farmers, with the primary objective of building the capacity of our local staff to provide financially sustainable impact, at scale, to all One Acre Fund farmers. A rotation with Field Operations could include managing an entire season’s worth of training materials for 100,000+ farmers, designing incentives to ensure high repayment, or serving as a liaison to our crop health teams which monitor in-field agricultural problems for our farmers.
Business Operations: The objective of our Operations departments is to ensure that we are able to deliver on all of our promises to our clients. Operations encompass mission-critical systems like transaction tracking, client data management, print, procurement, and investigations. A rotation with Business Operations could include running bulk SMS service for 100,000+ farmers, creating a new customer service line and systems to support it, or ensuring that we can process farmer insurance claims fairly and rapidly.
Logistics: The primary responsibility of our Logistics team is to ensure that we deliver life-changing inputs and materials to farmers on time and at high quality. A rotation with Logistics would likely include managing a season’s worth of deliveries to thousands of farmers, including planning, troubleshooting, procurement of trucks, liaising with warehouses, etc.
Program Innovations: The Scale Innovations team aims to deepen One Acre Fund’s impact on every community we serve by increasing the percent of households who join our program, and by developing innovations that help our field staff serve farmers better. Example projects with the Scale Innovations team include running trials related to using tablet computers in field operations, a “junior OAF member” marketing trial, or reconfiguring the role of farmer group leaders in our operations.

Program Rotation Associates will work together with the organization to determine their country or countries of operation, individual rotations, and then their final full-time role. We see the Program Rotation Associate role as an opportunity to develop future leaders in international development while meeting some of One Acre Fund’s most critical field-facing needs. Part of our commitment to this role is offering high-quality professional development and feedback opportunities as our Associates make their way through the various rotations.Career Growth and DevelopmentWe have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.In order to provide a consistent and long-term career growth experience for rotational staff, we will also pair you with a permanent “career buddy” from our internal consulting team who will provide guidance in selecting rotations and offer long-term mentorship that provides a bridge between each rotation.QualificationsWe are seeking exceptional professionals with 2 to 5+ years of work experience, and a demonstrated long-term passion for our mission. Candidates who fit the following criteria are strongly encouraged to apply:

At a minimum, a Bachelor’s degree is required for this position with strong demonstrated previous work experience.
Functional flexibility – an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to hit the ground running and start adding value quickly upon taking up a new rotational role
Geographic flexibility – at least in the first 12-18 months, the ability to relocate will be important as One Acre Fund has high-priority work across eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This includes willingness to live outside capital cities, close to our customers, as this is where most rotations will be based.
Strong work experiences. Examples include a demanding professional work experience, or successful entrepreneurial experience (e.g. starting a field program in a developing country, leading a conference, starting a business, etc).
Solid and growing analytical skills, including the ability to work with data and make informed judgments based on programmatic evidence
The ideal candidate will have at least one year demonstrated experience working in the developing world, although this is not a strict requirement.
Language: English required, French a plus in Rwanda and Burundi. Swahili-speakers are particularly encouraged to apply.

Cholera Information Management Consultant, ESA Regional Office, Nairobi, Kenya

Job description

This consultancy aims at supporting the implementation of the ‘information management and monitoring’ pillar which focuses on establishing functional information management systems across targeted countries and at regional level.UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.And we never give up.For every child, Health How can you make a difference?TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTORS/ CONSULTANTSPART I Title of AssignmentCholera Information Management ConsultantSectionWASHLocationNairobi, KenyaDuration11 monthsStart dateFrom: 01/07/2019From: 31/05/2020Background and JustificationCholera is contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with toxigenic Vibrio cholerae or by direct inter-human exposure, such as contact with hands contaminated with faeces from a cholera patient. This ancient disease is a major public health issue in East and Southern Africa Region (ESAR), where it is now endemic in at least half of the region’s countries. Moreover, the Global taskforce for cholera control acknowledges that the cholera burden is underestimated due to limited capacity for disease surveillance in some countries, as well as a disinclination to report in others.Cholera is not only a health problem but also a direct consequence of poor quality and quantity of water, poor sanitation, inadequate hygiene, and various environmental, climatic, and socio-economic situations. This calls for a multi-sectoral approach, including the development and implementation of cholera plans. A rapid analysis indicates that some countries which are currently experiencing new outbreaks lack comprehensive multi-sectoral plans , while those that have them are held back by weak monitoring and evaluation systems. Other challenges include: weak capacity for response; inadequate long term strategies for social and behaviour change to prevent and/or limit the spread of cholera, including the engagement of social movements. Additionally, population movement within the region is a major cause of cross border outbreaks, yet systems for monitoring epidemic prone diseases in cross border areas are weak or non existent. As more countries continue to report new outbreaks as compared to the beginning of 2017, there is need to continue to monitor these outbreaks in the region.A good understanding of IDSR system bottlenecks and strategies to strengthen the system, will contribute to enhancing real-time information generation and systems. This would include understanding information management capacities that contribute to IDSR processes (such as management of the cholera information cycle from data collection, analysis and reporting to use for public health action). This would require the involvement of Ministries of Health, WASH and Health sector/cluster partners in focus countries to develop National IM capacity building plans. Identification of cholera hotspots in the region will also be very key for targeted emergency and prevention programs.The UNICEF regional office for East and Southern Africa has developed and is currently implementing a cholera strategy. The strategy is focused on preventing, preparing for and responding to cholera better and faster, for reduced likelihood of cholera outbreaks and greater success with response. It is also designed to improve the added value of each partner’s contributions and geographic scope, and to engage wider society in a call to end cholera. The strategy aims to achieve three things: ensure the timely containment and control of all outbreaks, in all contexts, effectively and efficiently; significantly reduce the burden on communities and public health systems; and stop the spread of cholera across borders. This is being achieved through the deployment of 7 major pillars:

National Plans development
Capacity building
Social and behaviour change communication
Information Management and monitoring
Regional Coordination and Cross-border Collaboration
Knowledge Management and operational Research
Advocacy and harnessing social movements to end cholera

This consultancy aims at supporting the implementation of the ‘information management and monitoring’ pillar which focuses on establishing functional information management systems across targeted countries and at regional level.Scope of Work
