Agroforestry Coordinator - Kabwe

Description

Position : Agroforestry Coordinator - Kabwe

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips more than 4 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive. Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa's farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services. On average, this model enables any farmer to increase her income and assets on supported land by more than 40 percent, while permanently improving her climate resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 8,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions. 
In Zambia, our focus is on agroforestry. We provide farmers with a package of different tree varieties and the training they need to create an additional source of income while strengthening their resilience in the face of a changing climate. The tree package provides farmers with a range of benefits, from medicinal use to food and timber. In the longer term, we also plan to help farmers generate income through the carbon credit market. We are headquartered in Kabwe and operate throughout the Central Province, including Chibombo, Chisamba, Kapiri, and Luano districts, where most people rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.
We are seeking professionals to join our team as Agroforestry Coordinators. You will collaborate with the agroforestry lead to oversee seedling production, including nursery establishment, training, and monitoring, to meet program demand. You will report to the Agroforestry Lead, and you will help contribute to our mission of driving positive change in agroforestry practices and making a meaningful difference in the lives of farmers.
