  • Foster strong networks and communities of practice to facilitate learning and innovation within the realm of food assistance.
  • Collaborate with a diverse array of partners and stakeholders, leveraging existing platforms and tools to enhance knowledge management and evidence utilization.
  • Provide technical oversight of all Pillar II deliverables, ensuring they meet the project’s quality standards and USAID expectations.
Qualifications

  • PhD degree or MSc in a relevant field such as Information Science, Knowledge Management, Economics, Public Health, or International Development.

  • Knowledge of evidence-based programming in international development.
  • Demonstrated expertise in developing and implementing effective knowledge management strategies in complex programs.
  • Experience in working with USAID or other international donor-funded projects is desirable but not required.

Skills:

  • Proficient in knowledge management tools and platforms.
  • Strong organizational and coordination skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities for effective stakeholder engagement.
  • Capacity for strategic thinking and planning.
  • Proficiency in English.
  • Knowledge of additional languages is a plus but not required.
