We are recruiting to fill the below position:

Cluster Assistant

 

Project: Toward Sustainable Clusters in Agribusiness through Learning in Entrepreneurship (2SCALE)
Duration: 1 year renewable contract
Grade: 8

Background
The program entitled “Toward Sustainable Clusters in Agribusiness through Learning in Entrepreneurship” (2SCALE) aims at improving rural livelihoods and food and nutrition security in Africa. It was created by a consortium of partners, led by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), and comprising the Base-of-the-Pyramid Innovation Centre (BoPInc.) and the International Centre for development-oriented Research in Agriculture (ICRA). The program is supported by a grant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (through the Directorate-General for International Cooperation, DGIS) of the Netherlands.

From 2012 to 2014, 2SCALE developed a portfolio of 53 public-private partnerships in selected high-potential sectors in nine sub-Saharan countries . From 2015 to 2017, 2SCALE will support its private partners to deepen and scale-up these partnerships. The objective is to offer significant opportunity to over 500,000 smallholder farmers to improve their livelihoods and 2,500 SMEs to improve sales and provide jobs, while sustainably supplying food to regional, national and local markets, of which 40 percent will be BoP consumers.

The 2SCALE technical team is composed of country teams (Cluster Advisors and Cluster Assistants) supported by cross-cutting thematic specialists with a regional scope (access to finance; technical innovation; local empowerment; BoP marketing; action-research in partnership development; communications; grants; monitoring & evaluation). In each country team, the Cluster Advisor is assisted by Cluster Assistant(s) in developing and strengthening the partnership portfolio. To improve the coordination, knowledge and skills required to deepen activities within every partnership, the Cluster Advisor and Cluster Assistant(s) are specifically assigned to one or several partnerships, for which they act as an account manager – or Partnership Facilitator in the 2SCALE framework.

2SCALE’s portfolio in Nigeria is composed of 6 active partnerships:

• Dairy Development Program, in partnership with FrieslandCampina WAMCO


• Cassava partnership, with Nigerian Breweries (Heineken) and Psaltry


• Vegetable partnership, led by East West Seed International and AACE Foods


• Soybean partnership championed by farmer cooperatives


• Maize partnership championed by farmer associations and cooperatives


• Groundnuts Base-of-the-Pyramid (BoP) pilot with women processors


• A 7th partnership is also under construction on rice in Benue state.

• The 2SCALE Nigeria team is comprised of 4 technical staff acting as Partnership Facilitators, under the overall supervision of the country Cluster Advisor. The repartition of the partnerships is as follows:


• Cluster Advisor, Partnership Facilitator for maize, soybean, and in charge of the collaboration with AACE Foods


• Dairy Public-Private Partnership Manager, facilitating the partnership in milk with FrieslandCampina

Specific Duties include the following:

• Collect and analyze market and industry information related to focus partnerships.


• Lead gender analyses and empowerment interventions targeting vulnerable groups in focus partnerships, and document them.

Support cluster stakeholders to develop a solid strategy to reach their shared ambition and scale the partnerships, in line with set targets, which include but are not limited to the following:

• Develop, document and facilitate governance at the partnership level for the vegetable- and rice partnerships.


• Coordinate specific support provided by cross-cutting staff in focus partnerships, such as access to finance, technical innovation, local empowerment (ICRA), BoP marketing (BoPInc), communication, audit/coaching of (potential) grantees, monitoring and evaluation.


• Document field achievements, innovations, failures and lessons learned; share them in reports and integrate lessons learned into subsequent project activities.


• Write technical reports and notes as requested, in strict compliance with deadlines.


• In an autonomous way, collaborate (exchange of ideas and documents) with partnership facilitators in charge of similar partnerships in the other 2SCALE countries (West Africa, East & southern Africa).


• Identify and implement collaborative activities with other IFDC-led projects in Nigeria.
