Management Adviser, Timor-Leste (3074)

Closing Date: 28 May 2012

Interview: June 22nd and 23rd (Applicants will be required for both days)

Pre-departure Briefing: September 26th to 29th

Expected in Field: October 2012

Position Term: 2 years

Improve management practises at a local cooperative, and strengthen its ability to increase income, protect land rights, and support gender equity for farmers in Timor-Leste.

Movimento Cooperativo Economico-Agricola (MCE-A) is an agricultural cooperative that aims to build the economic independence of the people of Timor-Leste.  They work to increase return from agriculture, provide training and rural employment opportunities to prevent urban drift, and protect local farmland from foreign ownership.

Donors working with local NGOs often have expectations for them to have strong leadership and adequate systems for HR, administration, financial management, monitoring, evaluation and reporting.  MCE-A recognises the importance of strengthening their internal systems to ensure transparency and accountability to the cooperatives, communities and donors they work with.

MCE-A has therefore requested a volunteer with substantial office management experience to provide training to ensure MCE-A staff operate under transparent and robust administrative and financial systems, and have the capability to communicate effectively with stakeholders and donors.

This is a two-year assignment and accommodation in Dili will be provided by VSA.
