CARE seeks a Chief of Party (COP) for the anticipated five-year USAID-funded Feed the Future project in Sudan. The project will aim to improve food security, increase income of smallholder farmers and support broader economic growth. The interventions will improve food security by increasing overall agriculture and livestock productivity by enhancing efficiency of the productive resources – mainly land and water –
while introducing modern production practices. In addition, the activity will facilitate farmers' access
to quality inputs, technologies, information, credit and financial services and meeting market quality
standards. The COP will be responsible for leadership, management, and technical direction of staff and consultants, project activities such as implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) and partner coordination. They will serve as key liaison with USAID, government counterparts, and local partners and be responsible for aligning project activities with country and global standards, ensuring compliance with all relevant USAID and CARE policies and regulations, and representing the project to stakeholders, including donors, government agencies, and private sector partners. The COP will manage and supervise the work of program personnel and subcontractors/subgrantees and ensure that all program assistance is technically sound and appropriate. The COP also ensures the successful implementation of each annual work plan and achievement of the project’s targets and goals and oversees its strategic communication.
This is a Key Personnel position, subject to USAID approval. It is also contingent on project award and funding. National and international candidates are encouraged to apply. This position will be based in Port Sudan and report to the Country Director.
