JOB DESCRIPTION

The Field Operations Department supports the implementation of the program of One Acre Fund in the field through a team that reaches hundreds of field agents. These agents are in close contact with farmers and provide them with the main services offered by Tubura, such as training, credit management and the organization of the access to products. As a Program Associate, you will have the opportunity to learn from field operations and to help improve our program. The position includes two elements; operations management and scale innovation.

Operations:

• The staff focuses 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 training.
• The staff builds 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 20,000+ tons of 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.

Scale innovation:

• 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.
• 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.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• 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-Burundi has deep operational experience running rural field programs with a large full-time staff. 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. This presents an excellent career opportunity to both learn from One Acre Fund’s accumulated experience and constantly improve the program growth per year.

1. Background

With approximately 11 million inhabitants, only 27,834 square kilometres of land and 900$ of yearly income per capita, Burundi is one of the most densely populated and poorest countries in the world. The country’s economic situation is alarming. Indeed, 93% of the population is mostly employed in subsistence farming activities, and unemployment is widespread, particularly among young citizens. With nearly 65% of the population living below the poverty line, Burundi ranks 180th out of 186 countries in the Human Development Index.

Oxfam has been working in Burundi since the end of the nineties, with a wide range of activities in various sectors: food security, agricultural development, women’s rights and leadership, strengthening of local civic society, WASH, disaster and risk reduction, humanitarian intervention.

We say that women are at the heart of all we do, but in Burundi women - who are the most productive agricultural producers – still do not own their lands or the fruit of their work, generating conflicts affecting the social tissue. We need to find a way to involve women and their families in the resolution of these problems and allow them to make their voices heard. But we need to find a new way to do it, where they can really touch first-hand that change is possible, show them that they are not alone and that something can be done because elsewhere has been done. They have to become actors in their own change.

Other countries in the HECA (Horn – East and Central Africa) region where Oxfam is active (Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya) obtained very positive advancements in promoting women’s land rights. Through the project “knowledge fund”, OXFAM in Burundi aims at :

1. Learn from other HECA countries with similar experiences and contexts;

==========================================================================

1. Contexte

Avec approximativement 11 millions d'habitants, seulement 27 834 kilomètres carrés de terres et 900 $ de revenu annuel par habitant, le Burundi est l'un des pays les plus densément peuplés et les plus pauvres du monde. La situation économique du pays est alarmante. En effet, 93% de la population est principalement employée dans des activités d’agriculture de subsistance et le chômage est généralisé, en particulier chez les jeunes citoyens. Avec près de 65% de la population vivant sous le seuil de pauvreté, le Burundi se classe au 180^ème rang sur 186 pays dans l'Indice de développement humain.

Oxfam travaille au Burundi depuis la fin des années ‘90 et mène de nombreuses activités dans divers secteurs : sécurité alimentaire, développement agricole, droits des femmes et leadership, renforcement de la société civile locale, WASH, réduction des risques et des catastrophes, interventions humanitaires.

Nous disons que les femmes sont au cœur de tout ce que nous faisons, mais au Burundi les femmes - qui sont les agricultrices les plus productives - ne sont toujours pas propriétaires de leurs terres ou du fruit de leur travail, générant des conflits qui affectent le tissu social des communautés. Nous devons trouver un moyen de faire participer les femmes et leurs familles à la résolution de ces problèmes et de leur permettre de faire entendre leur voix. Mais nous devons trouver une nouvelle façon de le faire, pour qu’elles puissent vraiment réaliser qu'un changement est possible, leur montrer qu'elles ne sont pas seules et que quelque chose peut être fait, car ailleurs des femmes comme elles y sont parvenues. Elles doivent devenir actrices de leur propre changement.

Les autres pays de la région HECA (Horn – East and Central Africa) où Oxfam est active (Éthiopie, Ouganda, Tanzanie, Kenya) ont obtenu des progrès très positifs dans la promotion des droits fonciers des femmes. À travers le projet «**Knowledge Fund**», OXFAM au Burundi vise à :

1. Apprendre des autres pays HECA ayant des expériences et des contextes similaires ;
2. Commencer à mieux documenteret utiliser l’accumulation de connaissances et expériences qui a déjà eu lieu ailleurs dans la Région et l’adapter aux besoins et au contexte local au Burundi de manière créative, grâce à un facilitateur / consultant ;
3.

4. Créer un espace d’échange et de réflexion avec les bénéficiaires, en particulier les femmes, sur les expériences intervenues dans d’autres pays.

OXFAM recherche un consultant pour travailler sur les points 2 et 3 :

• Voyager dans des pays sélectionnés (idéalement deux parmi : Kenya, Ouganda, Tanzanie et Éthiopie) et rassembler des témoignages (entretiens avec des femmes championnes des droits / activistes, vidéos, images, etc. => supports pour les campagnes d’information) sur le travail accompli par Oxfam dans le domaine de la défense des droits fonciers des femmes.
• Sur la base de ce qui a été collecté dans la Région, création de supports de communication facilement accessibles à nos bénéficiaires (agricultrices) au Burundi (boîtes à images, vidéos d’études de cas… => supports de diffusion)

Special Notice

Please note that this is a temporary job opening, open to internal as well as external candidates. The position is available for six (6) months, with the possibility of an extension, and the selected candidate is expected to start as soon as possible. All posts are subject to availability of funds.
A current staff member who holds a fixed-term, permanent or continuing appointment may apply for temporary positions no more than one level above his or her current grade. However, a current staff member who holds an appointment at the G-6 or G-7 level may also apply to temporary positions in the Professional category up to and including the P-3 level, subject to meeting all eligibility and other requirements for the position. A staff member holding a temporary appointment shall be regarded as an external candidate when applying for other positions, and may apply for other temporary positions at any level, subject to section 5.7 below and staff rule 4.16 (b) (ii). Therefore, a staff member holding a temporary appointment in the General Service or related categories may only apply to positions within those categories. For full information on eligibility requirements, please refer to section 5 of ST/AI/2010/4Rev.1 on Temporary Appointments. In its resolution 66/234, the General Assembly further “stressed that the Secretary-General should not recur to the practice of temporarily filling posts in the Professional and higher categories with General Service staff members who have not passed the General Service to Professional category examination other than on an exceptional basis, and requests the Secretary-General to ensure that temporary occupation of such posts by the General Service staff shall not exceed a period of one year, effective 1 January 2013…” Consequently, eligible candidates in the General Service or related categories for temporary job openings in the Professional category that have not passed the competitive examination may be selected only on an exceptional basis endorsed by the Office of Human Resources Management where no other suitable candidate could be identified.
Upon separation from service, including, but not limited to, expiration or termination of, or resignation from, a fixed-term, continuing or permanent appointment, a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment on the basis of a temporary appointment for a period of 31 days following the separation. In the case of separation from service on retirement, a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment for a period of three months following the separation. This equally applies, mutatis mutandis, with respect to a former or current staff member who has held or holds an appointment in another entity applying the United Nations Staff Regulations and Rules and who applies for a temporary position with the Secretariat.
While this temporary assignment may provide the successful applicant with an opportunity to gain new work experience, the selection for this position is for a limited period and has no bearing on the future incumbency of the post. An external candidate selected for this position is bound by the prevailing condition of the staff selection system under ST/AI/2010/3, as amended, and ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1. A staff member holding a temporary appointment who is recruited in the Professional and above categories on a temporary appointment, and placed on a position authorized for one year or longer may not apply for or be reappointed to his/her current position within six months of the end of his/her current service. This provision does not apply to staff members holding temporary appointments and placed on positions authorized for one year or more in duty stations authorized for peacekeeping operations or special political missions.
The expression “Internal candidates”, shall mean staff members who have been recruited after a competitive examination under staff rule 4.16 or after the advice of a central review body under staff rule 4.15.
Please note that candidates will be required to meet the requirements of Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter as well as the requirements of the position. The United Nations is committed to the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity for all its human resources, including but not limited to respect for international human rights and humanitarian law. Candidates may be subject to screening against these standards, including but not limited to whether they have committed, or are alleged to have committed criminal offences and/or violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
For information on special post allowance, please refer to ST/AI/1999/17. For more details on the administration of temporary appointments please refer to ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1.
The Staff Regulations, Staff Rules and administrative issuances governing staff appointments can be viewed at: http://www.un.org/hr_handbook/English
IMPORTANT: Candidates found suitable and not selected for the announced duty station, may be selected for deployment to other duty stations. The selection will be for similar functions with similar requirements at the same level.

United Nations Considerations

According to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. Candidates will not be considered for employment with the United Nations if they have committed violations of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they have been involved in the commission of any of these acts. The term “sexual exploitation” means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. The term “sexual abuse” means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. The term “sexual harassment” means any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that might reasonably be expected or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation, when such conduct interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when the gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the perpetrator’s working relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes other than minor traffic offences may not be considered for employment.
Due regard will be paid to the importance of recruiting the staff on as wide a geographical basis as possible. The United Nations places no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and subsidiary organs. The United Nations Secretariat is a non-smoking environment.
