  • Accelerated Education Specialist

    Accelerated Education Specialist

    The purpose of the Accelerated Education (AE) Specialist is to provide leadership to support inter-agency efforts to develop a harmonised approach to AE in Kenya. Out of the more than 210,000 refugees of school age in camps in Kenya, 46 per cent are out of school and 47 per cent of those who are in school are overage.
    There are also large unknown numbers of youth in communities who want to learn but who cannot enrol or for whom the formal education system is not a good fit. There are a number of actors providing AE opportunities in camps.
    While the programmes have been entitled differently and, in some cases, the target group and relationship to the national system has varied, the overall aim has been similar in delivering condensed content within a shorter time frame in a safe space for over-age and out of school children and youth.
    In May 2019 NRC co-hosted with UNHCR an AE workshop in Kenya in collaboration with the Accelerated Education Working Group (AEWG).
    The workshop recommended the formation of a national technical working group (as a subsidiary of the Education Sector Working Group) to strengthen coordination among stakeholders, and take work forward around four key areas:
    (1) Development of guidelines;
    (2) Curriculum development and associated materials;
    (3) Teacher training; and (4) AE management training.
    The role of the AE Specialist is to work collaboratively with the Ministry of Education (MoE), UNICEF, UNHCR and all education actors in Kenya towards a harmonised AE approach that is anchored in the national education system. This approach is intended to invest in the national education system, strengthening capacity in non-formal education in Kenya, for the benefit of refugee learners as well as Kenyan children and youth.
    Additionally, the AE Specialist will provide technical support to NGOs AE programmes in Kenya in terms of technical development, strategic direction and quality assistance including mentoring, training and capacity building of staff on AE programme delivery.
    Direct engagement with the AE programme will ensure that the Specialist’s national coordination role is grounded in field realities and also provides an opportunity to support direct implementation of emerging guidance and tools.

  • Global Commercialization Director

    Global Commercialization Director

    Job Description
    The Global Commercialization Director will be at the forefront of leading one of our organization’s biggest opportunities to generate impact in the next decade: shaping a new suite of services to connect our clients to markets. To date, One Acre Fund has focused on improving yields of food crops through supplying quality inputs, training, and delivery. The organization and the farmers we serve are now ready to take the next step to connecting to markets. This will require launching new business units to serve hundreds of thousands to farmers across 7+ countries through identifying value chains, creating connections to buyers, and building out the teams and logistics to support a brand new arm of services.
    Key responsibilities of this role include:

    Developing & driving crop commercialization strategy: This role will be responsible for setting the organization-wide strategy on crop commercialization to increase the incomes of a significant proportion of the farmers we serve through commercialization by 2025. To do this, the Global Commercialization Director will identify the most promising commercialization opportunities locally and internationally, work with country programs to set their annual commercialization priorities, and ensure that teams are working towards a consistent, long-term vision for commercialization at OAF.
    Overseeing the launch of 7+ new business units: This entrepreneurial leader will help get commercialization business units off the ground in at least seven of our countries over the next few years to serve at least 500,000 farmers. Although in-country teams will be responsible for launching the new businesses, the Global Commercialization Director will be a key player in supporting the teams to bring new business to life through on-the-ground involvement at key junctures, moving teams beyond research & scoping to doing, and supporting on the business plans and connections necessary for the new business units to succeed.
    Providing targeted technical expertise: Through direct input, or facilitating connections to external connections, provide expertise on technical aspects of market access and value-addition. This would include providing guidance on value chain mapping, buyer identification, contract negotiations between OAF and/or farmers and buyers, aggregation logistics, processing, export regulations and logistics, and more.
    Coordinating strategy implementation across teams: This role will be the central coordinator of crop commercialization strategy across 7+ countries. This will require establishing systems to facilitate knowledge sharing and coordination across a diverse set of teams through working groups, dotted line management of in-country market access leads, and centralized knowledge and resource repositories.

Youll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance.
