    Burundi: Program Associate

    Organization: One Acre Fund
    Country: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia
    Closing date: 26 Sep 2019

    ABOUT ONE ACRE FUND

    Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural trainings to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 percent more food after working with One Acre Fund.

    We are growing quickly. We currently serve more than 800,000 farm families in Eastern and Southern Africa, with more than 7,500 full-time staff, and we aim to serve 1 million farm families by 2020.

    JOB DESCRIPTION

    One Acre Fund is growing quickly, and we plan to at least quadruple our farmer impact in the next five years. Program Associates play a major role in driving that growth and ensuring that this growth is stable and systematic – while also adding major innovations and improvements to our program quality. This offers Program Associates a strong career opportunity: the ability to learn from a successful field operation, contribute to aggressive growth, and also make improvements to our program.

    We are currently seeking Program Associates for a variety of teams within One Acre Fund, including:

    Operations:

    Our country operation teams face a classic leadership and management challenge: how to keep a large country operation growing at 40-75% per year while also making significant improvements to our operating model. Program Associates first learn from our organization’s deep knowledge on scaling rural field programs; then, they are challenged to find new ways to stretch, grow faster, and increase our quality of service.

    • Field operations staff focus on farmer-facing services. They start as generalists, with overall responsibility for executing our program in a region. Over time, they can continue to rise as a general leader, possibly growing to manage an entire country’s field operation. Or they may specialize, for example, in the creation and roll-out of staff development training for team members.

    • Support operations staff build the infrastructure required for growth. These teams proactively eliminate barriers to scale in a diverse range of areas – processing millions of farmer payments, communicating to farmers via tens of millions of SMS, hiring hundreds of new staff per year, and physically moving farm inputs to thousands of drop sites. Program Associates also make steady improvements to accelerate growth – for example, setting up mobile money integration for a country.

    Innovations:

    Our Innovations teams discover new ideas for our programs and conduct dozens of trials to test these ideas. As an organization, we constantly seek to learn and improve, and our Innovations teams lead the way.

    • Product Innovations staff improve our core agricultural products or run new experiments in energy and health products. The ideas they discover may eventually scale to hundreds of thousands of households. Product Innovations staff design trials, execute trials together with thousands of farmers, synthesize trial data, and make constant revisions to the product offering. For example, our Product Innovations team is currently testing delivery of live chickens and preparing the product for full-scale rollout. One Acre Fund is also increasingly delving into energy and health, and we are currently one of the largest sellers of solar lights in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    • Scale Innovations staff seek to improve our core operating model. By running trials with tens of thousands of farmers, they analyze targeted questions such as: does moving from a group liability loan to an individual liability loan improve repayment and customer satisfaction? Or they might investigate more radical ideas, such as setting up physical One Acre Fund shops to see if there are more efficient ways to deliver high-quality service to farmers. They try variations on our program with the goal of improving our scalability, impact, and financial sustainability.

    On a day-to-day basis, nearly all roles involve a mix of activities:

    • Understanding and solving problems: observing field operations, meeting with leaders of our field staff , running surveys, conducting desk research, analyzing KPIs, etc. Then creating simple and lasting solutions to complex problems.
    • Planning and executing large projects: identifying clear goals, creating project calendars, designing workflows, creating field tools and talking points, designing incentive systems and understanding stakeholders, following up and monitoring project execution in the field, etc.
    • Building teams: hiring staff using One Acre Fund’s unique “experiential hiring” system, mentoring key deputies, and steadily handing off responsibility to your team as you build it.
    • Communicating with other teams: working in coordination with One Acre Fund’s other teams on the ground to execute a smooth customer experience in the simplest way possible.

    One Acre Fund has deep operational experience running rural field programs at a scale. Program Associates benefit from this past experience, quickly building their skill-set through immersion in our operating environment. At the same time, the main role of Program Associates is to accelerate growth and to constantly stretch and improve our operations.

    CAREER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

    We have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.

  • Contexte et justification
  • La derniere estimation sur le nombre de deces maternels survenus dans le monde en 2010 etait de 287.000 (1). Ce chiffre, compare a celui enregistre en 1990, represente une baisse de 47%. Neanmoins, 99% de ces deces continuent de survenir dans les pays en developpement et 85% en Afrique sub-saharienne et en Asie du Sud Est. Toutefois, c'est en Afrique que le Ratio de Mortalite Maternelle (RMM) est le plus elevee avec 500 deces maternels pour 100.000 naissances vivantes alors qu'il est de 210 DM/100.000 NV au niveau mondial.

    Au lancement des Objectifs de Developpement Durable (ODD), le Burundi affiche toujours une des plus fortes mortalites maternelles en Afrique. Cependant, durant les sept dernieres decennies, le pays a enregistre des progres considerables dans la reduction de la mortalite maternelle et neonatale avec un ratio de deces maternels qui est passe de 500 pour 100.000 NV (EDS II, 2010) a 334 deces maternels pour 100.000 NV (EDS III, 2016-2017), et un taux de mortalite neonatale qui est passe de 31 deces neonatals/1000 NV (EDS II, 2010) a 23 deces neonatals/1000 NV (EDS III, 2016-2017).

    Malgre une forte augmentation du taux d'accouchement en milieux de soins, qui est passe de 22,9% en 2005 a 85% en 2017, la mortalite maternelle intra hospitaliere est reste tres eleve et l'effectif des deces maternels a l'hopital a presque double en 2014 et 2015 pour etre passe de 265 deces a 459 deces maternels, soit un passage d'un ratio de 80 pour 100.000 naissances vivantes en 2014 et 124,7 pour 100.000 naissances vivantes en 2015 selon le bilan annuel du PNSR.

    • Quantify and coordinate with the procurement and finance teams for stopgap requests that occur outside of the annual order cycle.
    • Ensure the integrity of data in VHW’s stock management system; coordinate and share information with relevant stakeholders.
    • Oversee all medical equipment on site, particularly with regard to maintenance and consumables needed to operate each piece of equipment.

    • Poise, professionalism, and strong communication skills to diverse stakeholders.
    • Able to prioritize effectively, managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously and meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
    • Excellent computer skills, including fluency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
    • Ability to live in rural Burundi full-time is required.
    • A commitment to social justice.
    • Prior work experience in supply chain, sourcing, project management, international logistics and/or administration, or other relatable detail-oriented work is preferred.

    Compensation

    This is a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and skills about international operations management, supply chain and procurement, construction coordination and design, medical equipment planning and maintenance, as well as project management in a global health delivery context. We are dedicated to facilitating the learning amongst our interns and volunteer analysts. While this is an uncompensated volunteer position, the work you do will both build practical experience, as well as directly influence the care given to hundreds of thousands of people in rural Burundi.

    ABOUT ONE ACRE FUND

    Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural trainings to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 percent more food after working with One Acre Fund.

    We are growing quickly. We currently serve more than 800,000 farm families in Eastern and Southern Africa, with more than 7,500 full-time staff, and we aim to serve 1 million farm families by 2020.

    JOB DESCRIPTION

    One Acre Fund is growing quickly, and we plan to at least quadruple our farmer impact in the next five years. Program Associates play a major role in driving that growth and ensuring that this growth is stable and systematic – while also adding major innovations and improvements to our program quality. This offers Program Associates a strong career opportunity: the ability to learn from a successful field operation, contribute to aggressive growth, and also make improvements to our program.

    We are currently seeking Program Associates for a variety of teams within One Acre Fund, including:

    Operations:

    Our country operation teams face a classic leadership and management challenge: how to keep a large country operation growing at 40-75% per year while also making significant improvements to our operating model. Program Associates first learn from our organization’s deep knowledge on scaling rural field programs; then, they are challenged to find new ways to stretch, grow faster, and increase our quality of service.

    • Field operations staff focus on farmer-facing services. They start as generalists, with overall responsibility for executing our program in a region. Over time, they can continue to rise as a general leader, possibly growing to manage an entire country’s field operation. Or they may specialize, for example, in the creation and roll-out of staff development training for team members.

    • Support operations staff build the infrastructure required for growth. These teams proactively eliminate barriers to scale in a diverse range of areas – processing millions of farmer payments, communicating to farmers via tens of millions of SMS, hiring hundreds of new staff per year, and physically moving farm inputs to thousands of drop sites. Program Associates also make steady improvements to accelerate growth – for example, setting up mobile money integration for a country.

    Innovations:

    Our Innovations teams discover new ideas for our programs and conduct dozens of trials to test these ideas. As an organization, we constantly seek to learn and improve, and our Innovations teams lead the way.

    • Product Innovations staff improve our core agricultural products or run new experiments in energy and health products. The ideas they discover may eventually scale to hundreds of thousands of households. Product Innovations staff design trials, execute trials together with thousands of farmers, synthesize trial data, and make constant revisions to the product offering. For example, our Product Innovations team is currently testing delivery of live chickens and preparing the product for full-scale rollout. One Acre Fund is also increasingly delving into energy and health, and we are currently one of the largest sellers of solar lights in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    • Scale Innovations staff seek to improve our core operating model. By running trials with tens of thousands of farmers, they analyze targeted questions such as: does moving from a group liability loan to an individual liability loan improve repayment and customer satisfaction? Or they might investigate more radical ideas, such as setting up physical One Acre Fund shops to see if there are more efficient ways to deliver high-quality service to farmers. They try variations on our program with the goal of improving our scalability, impact, and financial sustainability.

    On a day-to-day basis, nearly all roles involve a mix of activities:

    • Understanding and solving problems: observing field operations, meeting with leaders of our field staff , running surveys, conducting desk research, analyzing KPIs, etc. Then creating simple and lasting solutions to complex problems.
    • Planning and executing large projects: identifying clear goals, creating project calendars, designing workflows, creating field tools and talking points, designing incentive systems and understanding stakeholders, following up and monitoring project execution in the field, etc.
    • Building teams: hiring staff using One Acre Fund’s unique “experiential hiring” system, mentoring key deputies, and steadily handing off responsibility to your team as you build it.
    • Communicating with other teams: working in coordination with One Acre Fund’s other teams on the ground to execute a smooth customer experience in the simplest way possible.

    One Acre Fund has deep operational experience running rural field programs at a scale. Program Associates benefit from this past experience, quickly building their skill-set through immersion in our operating environment. At the same time, the main role of Program Associates is to accelerate growth and to constantly stretch and improve our operations.

    CAREER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

    We have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.
