Portfolio Manager, Indonesia
We are currently seeking a Portfolio Manager on an upcoming initiative in Indonesia funded by AusAid
entitled PRISMA. The objective of the program is to contribute to reduced poverty and increased competitiveness of poor male and female farmers in four Districts in each of the following provinces: East Java, NTT, NTB, Papua, West Papua. The program aims to achieve this through improved farmer practices, increased access to input and output markets, and improved business enabling environment
at the regional level. While this program will require a systems approach (i.e., taking into account multiple commodities and value chains), entry points for engagement with local markets are likely to be found in commodities such as seaweed, maize, peanuts, cattle and livestock, and cocoa. The Portfolio Manager will lead overall project implementation and manage overarching administration of all activities. All project staff are to be based in Surabaya and salaries will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and competitive with local market conditions. Possible start date is July 2013, and the position is subject to ACDI/VOCA with its partners being awarded the program. The program
