The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is a not - for - profit organization formed in 2006 to work with African governments, farmers, donors, NGOs and the private sector to reduce hunger and poverty in Africa through agricultural development targeted at resource poor farmers.

AGRA has its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya and an office in Accra, Ghana.

AGRA is seeking to recruit a highly competent and experienced individual to fill the following position.

2) breeding programs capable of generating higher-yielding, well-adapted crop varieties;

3) the creation and strengthening of private, independent seed enterprises; and,

4) the training and networking of village-level agro-dealers who market certified seed and fertilizers to smallholder farmers. PASS began operations in March, 2007.

PASS has been gathering detailed data from over 220 grants on seed production, breeding activities, demonstrations, field days, seed and fertilizer sold, and students enrolled and graduated etc.

A database has also been developed for this purpose, and is just becoming operational.

PASS, coming toward the end of its first phase of five years, is at a critical stage where accurate data is required to show progress and justify further funding. Data will also be used to establish gaps and potential linkages as PASS moves to its second phase. The need for collection of accurate, full and timely data cannot be overemphasized.

Analysis and Data Presentation: The incumbent will be responsible for generating individual reports, tables, and figures from the collected data as required by PASS and AGRA staff or other partners such as donors.

In addition to collection and management of data for the database, the incumbent will be responsible for facts and figures which are currently maintained separately by PASS program staff which are not compatible with the database at the moment.

These include but are not limited to: post-graduate student information, training course participants, crop release traits and release data, contacts of seed affiliates, master tables and sub-tables for seed production, and tracking disbursement of loans by seed company funds.

This will be centrally maintained by the incumbent and constantly updated, and late incorporated in the larger MIS database being developed. Once developed, overall responsibility for updating this new database will form part of the responsibilities.

The incumbent will work closely with AGRA IT department, and other providers to ensure that the database is always functional, and raise any arising issues immediately.

Follow up on reports: One-third of PASS grantees are required to submit reports quarterly, while the rest report half-yearly. All grantee payments are dependent on receipt and approval of the reports. The incumbent will work with the respective program assistants and the PASS program coordinator to ensure timely grantee reporting, approvals and disbursements.

Travel grants: PASS makes approximately 20 travel grants that need to be generated, approved, paid out and accounted for. This will be handled by the incumbent.

GIFTS entries: The incumbent will be expected to update grant and grantee records as need arises.

Meeting assistance: The incumbent will be required to assist in arranging program meetings as required.
