Job Title: Access to Finance Specialist
Location: Abuja
Background
The program entitled "Toward Sustainable Clusters in Agribusiness
through Learning in Entrepreneurship" (2SCALE) aims at improving rural
livelihoods and food and nutrition security in Africa. It was created
by a consortium of partners, led by the International Fertilizer
Development Center (IFDC), and comprising the Base-of-the-Pyramid
Innovation Centre (BoPInc.) and the International Centre for
development-oriented Research in Agriculture (ICRA). The program is
supported by a grant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (through the
Directorate-General for International Cooperation, DGIS) of the
Netherlands.
From 2012 to 2014, 2SCALE developed a portfolio of 53 public-private
partnerships in selected high-potential sectors in nine sub-Saharan
countries . From 2015 to 2017, 2SCALE will support its private partners
to deepen and scale-up these partnerships. The objective is to offer
significant opportunity to over 500,000 smallholder farmers to improve
their livelihoods and 2,500 SMEs to improve sales and provide jobs,
while sustainably supplying food to regional, national and local
markets, of which 40 percent will be BoP consumers.
Access to finance offers opportunities to strengthen partnerships and
improve the competitiveness of chain actors. 2SCALE will continue, and
where possible intensify, its efforts to identify relevant/ interested
financial institutions and investors, and to bring financiers and
private partners (farmers and their organizations, small and medium
enterprises, lead firms) together to bridge the gap between demand and
supply of financial services.
The 2SCALE technical team is composed of country teams (Cluster
Advisors and Cluster Assistants - Partnership Facilitators) supported
by cross-cutting thematic specialists with a regional scope (access to
finance; technical innovation; local empowerment; BoP marketing;
action-research in partnership development; communications; grants;
monitoring & evaluation). IFDC seeks to recruit an Access to
Finance Specialist to support 2SCALE interventions in West Africa.
