Welthungerhilfe (WHH), formerly known as Agro Action Allemande (AAA), is a German NGO that has been operating in Burkina Faso for over 40 years. The organization focuses on food security and nutrition, environmental preservation, WASH, resilience, and advocacy. WHH is currently implementing a new project titled "Transformation of Food Systems through Inclusive Land Governance" and is seeking qualified candidates to fill five positions. The project aims to improve land governance and promote sustainable food systems in Burkina Faso.

The five positions available include a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, a Technical Land Management Officer, three Field Agents, a Secretary-Cashier, and an Accountant. All positions are based in Kongoussi and are expected to support the implementation of the new project. The contracts will be for a duration of one year, renewable, with a three-month probationary period. The total contract duration will not exceed the project implementation period.

The Monitoring and Evaluation Officer will be responsible for setting up monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of project activities. This includes developing a knowledge management framework, collaborating with project teams to define key performance indicators, and designing data collection tools and procedures. The ideal candidate should have a diploma in a relevant field, such as agro-economy, project evaluation, or statistics, and at least five years of experience in monitoring and evaluation.

The Technical Land Management Officer will provide technical support to field agents, beneficiaries, and project stakeholders on land management and agricultural development. Responsibilities include providing training and technical assistance, developing technical guidelines, and evaluating the quality and performance of project interventions. The ideal candidate should have a diploma in a relevant field, such as agriculture, land management, or environmental science, and at least five years of experience in a similar role.

The three Field Agents will be responsible for implementing project activities at the grassroots level, including community mobilization, beneficiary selection, and activity monitoring. They will work closely with the Technical Land Management Officer and the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer to ensure effective project implementation. The Secretary-Cashier will provide administrative support, manage project finances, and maintain records. The Accountant will be responsible for managing project finances, preparing financial reports, and ensuring compliance with financial regulations.

To be eligible for these positions, candidates must have relevant qualifications and experience, as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills. They should be able to work independently and as part of a team, and be willing to work in a fast-paced environment. Fluency in French and English is required, and experience in a similar context is an asset.

Interested candidates can apply for these positions by submitting their applications to Welthungerhilfe. The deadline for applications is not specified.
