Agronomist

by Unknown  |  at  8:30 AM

Caritas International Belgium (Ci.Be) has been offering project support to Caritas-agencies in South Sudan for the last 5 years. Currently CI.Be funds a series of small scale rural development programs implemented by the Caritas agencies of the Catholic Dioceses of Tombura-Yambio and Yei. These programs will start in July 2014 and the agronomist is to support the partners on both agricultural and M&E subjects.
Responsibilities:
Monitoring and Evaluation
  1. Serve as an M&E advisor to the partners.
  2. Support the design, implementation and management of a comprehensive M&E system based on the partners’ existing practices.
  3. Coordinate the collection of baseline assessment data and the definition of indicators for outputs and outcomes.
  4. Monitor the degree of progress towards the goals of the project’s main indicators.
  5. Participate in drafting and monitoring the six-monthly operational plans.
  6. Assist the partners in developing and implementing methods which ensure the quality of data for M&E.
  7. Monitor the quality of all project field activities.
  8. Guarantee timely and complete input for reports to Caritas Belgium.
  9. Facilitate the use of the lessons learned during the project as input for future project management.
  10. Provide support and training in M&E for the partner’s project staff.
Agriculture
  1. Serve as an agriculture advisor to the partners (building on their existing practices).
  2. Assist the partners in setting up demonstration plots and farmer field schools.
  3. Train and advise the extension workers on extension methods and on good agricultural practices.
  4. Make a baseline assessment of the targeted farmer groups and monitor their progress in collaboration with the partners.
  5. Give advice and trainings on seed multiplication, agronomy, pest management, post-harvest handling, store management, marketing and/or any other technical issue which is relevant to the beneficiary farmers (oxen ploughing, construction of warehouses and improved granaries, …).
Profile:
Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture with at least 5 years of relevant experience in an NGO (of which 2 years in a program management position). Extensive experience in working with subsistence farmers (with very limited access to modern technologies!) is a condition. Experience with oxen ploughing or construction of storage facilities is an asset. Speaking Arabic, Zande, Moro, Lugbara, Madi or Kakwa is an asset. Candidates from South-Sudan, Uganda or Kenya are particularly encouraged to apply.
Work location:
The agronomist will be based in Maridi and give advice to the livelihoods teams of the Caritas agencies of the Catholic Dioceses of Tombura-Yambio and Yei in the following counties: Mundri-West, Maridi and Ibba (Western Equatoria State). Western Equatoria State is peaceful and has a stable security situation.
Conditions:
The agronomist will be contracted with renewable 6-month consultancy contracts under Belgian law. (S)he will be fully responsible for complying with the fiscal/labor laws of his/her home country. For his/her movements, (s)he will be provided with a car and a driver. Any professional activity outside the two partnering Dioceses will be considered as a mission and compensated accordingly. For all movements within the Dioceses, CI.Be will provide a monthly accommodation allowance.
