Reporting to the Senior Food Crops and Agriculture Officer, the role holder will also work with MEDA’s headquarters-based Technical Experts. The position is collaborative in nature, working closely with the Environment and Climate Change Manager, Gender team, and other technical officers to address ongoing constraints, surveying and identifying stakeholders able to take advantage of innovations, and opportunities, and thus affect soybean, groundnut, and vegetable value chain upgrades.
