===========================================================
Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone had excellent Easter or holy holidays and good rest /
rejuvenation as well. I was lucky enough to get a break from recruiting
activities as well during the past few weeks and this is the reason you have
not heard from me. I am recruiting the following Chief of Party/Program
Manager position on behalf of Central Asia Development Group (CADG) in
anticipation of a future project. They are also looking for six (6)
short-term technical people in the areas of expertise shown below. I am
accepting resumes for STTA subject matter experts that

Title: Chief of Party (CoP) for Agricultural Inputs Development Program

Project Summary: The Program for Agricultural Inputs Development (PAID) seeks
to address stagnant production levels and declining soil fertility through
increased access to high quality agricultural inputs. Uganda has relatively low
agricultural productivity for a variety of reasons: poor agronomic practices,
low quality germplasm, declining soil fertility, losses due to pests and
disease, and poor post-harvest handling practices, all contribute to an
agricultural system failing to meet its potential. The overall objective of
this program is increased production of maize, beans, and coffee through the
appropriate use of high quality agro-inputs. Improving the availability
(physical distribution), access (affordability and quality), and utilization
(knowledge of inputs and safe usage) of high quality agro-inputs, will result
in higher yields and incomes for target farmers.
Key Roles and Responsibilities: The Chief of Party (COP) will manage all
aspects of project including meeting the objectives of the project while
providing overall leadership in technical, administrative, operational, and
management of the project, with a focus on achieving the results defined in the

coherent vision within PAID and initiating innovative strategies across various
components.
