Ethiopia Innovations and Growth Lead

One Acre Fund

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia•3 months ago

About One Acre Fund Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips 5.5 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive. Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa's farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services. On average, this model enables any farmer to increase their income and assets on supported land by more than 35 percent, while permanently improving their resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 9,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions. To learn more, please see our Why Work Here blog post. One Acre Fund has been working with farmers in the Amhara region of Ethiopia since 2014, with a specific focus on trees since 2018. The Ethiopia program has now expanded into the South Region of Ethiopia in 2024. Our aim with the tree program is to provide not only short-term income opportunities but also long-term benefits, such as soil health improvements and erosion control, so that farmers build resilience over time. About the Role The Innovations & Growth Lead will be an essential part of our leadership team in one of One Acre Fund's fastest-growing country programs and report directly to the Country Director. As an Innovations & Growth Lead, you will sit at the intersection of high-level strategy and "last-mile" delivery, shaping the strategy to plant 100 million trees and generate over $100M additional impact for 440,000 Ethiopian farmers by 2030. You will also pioneer the revenue models that will make our impact self-sustaining. You will lead a high-performing team of innovators and M&E specialists to turn a 5-year vision into a rigorous 'Learning Agenda”: designing the field trials, mastering the data, and proving what works before we scale it to 440,000 households. You will ensure that every piece of data collected in the field informs our highest-level strategic decisions. If you are obsessed with evidence-based growth and love solving complex operational puzzles in the field, this is for you!. Success is measured by your ability to reach OAF Ethiopia’s 2030 objectives.

You would then work with the Tree innovation team to turn raw avocado trial data into a "Go/No-Go" recommendation for national expansion, before travelling to a remote nursery to troubleshoot a pilot in person, interviewing nursery managers to identify why avocado grafting success rates are lagging, and pivoting the training approach on the spot. Support our network of 1,000+ nursery managers by improving their production and finding new ways to generate income. Engineer innovative, scalable solutions to maximize income for every farmer reached, unlocking opportunities for youth and women. Secure our seed supply through large-scale adoption of the best varieties and partnerships like the Jimma Research Centre. Define the next frontier and move beyond existing programs to identify "what's next." You will lead the feasibility studies to transition OAF Ethiopia from a traditional NGO model to a revenue-generating organization. You will investigate the regulatory landscape and operational requirements, and research and test the most impactful agricultural practices, products, and services for our farmers.

Senior Manager, Programs (Mobileaid)

GiveDirectly

Maputo, Mozambique•3 months ago

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty. GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011 and delivered cash to more than 2 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist. Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, span 21 different countries and 69 languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people. Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision-making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high-performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit. We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed, and grow. We support high ownership, flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities. About GiveDirectly Mozambique & MobileAid GiveDirectly Mozambique is expanding both the scale and speed of cash delivery. A key pillar of this growth is MobileAid: using remote, mobile-based targeting and enrollment (and associated digital workflows) to deliver cash at greater scale, speed, and effectiveness—including rapid response after shocks/emergencies and, where feasible, anticipatory cash before shocks occur. MobileAid can also support improved targeting approaches for social protection, particularly in urban areas, by reducing the time and cost of identifying and enrolling eligible households.
