Job Description

Minimum 2 years commitment, full-time job.

Job Description
By 2020, One Acre Fund expects to have one million or more households in our product distribution and training network, including roughly five million children. With this growth, we are seeing the ability to influence the adoption of life-improving products at a meaningful scale. Working through this network to affect nutrition and health outcomes is emerging as an increasingly large impact priority. Our program has already demonstrated statistically significant reductions in reported hunger, but we want to take this work to the next level, through a comprehensive nutrition and health program that improves key outcomes like childhood stunting in our farmer population.

Our large, high-touch smallholder farmer network is an ideal setting for deeper investments in health and nutrition. The Global Nutrition and Health Lead will coordinate new health and nutrition projects across all of our countries, while the Nutrition Associate will manage a slate of in-country trials and trainings.
