JOB DESCRIPTION

 

This call is advertised as a short-term assignment with a duration of 12 months months and expected to start shortly after selection. Should an external candidate (including consultants and staff members not meeting IFAD HR Implementing Procedures’ definition of ‘internal’) be selected, the contract type would be that of a short-term professional (TPO). In the event an IFAD staff member, holding a Fixed Term contract be selected, the movement would be implemented as a Temporary Assignment through the applicable provisions. Applicants should verify and obtain their supervisors’ support to be released.

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is an international financial institution and a specialized United Nations agency dedicated to eradicating rural poverty and hunger. It does so by investing in rural people. IFAD finances programmes and projects that increase agricultural productivity and raise rural incomes, and advocates at the local, national and international level for policies that contribute to rural transformation.

 

Job Role

 

IFAD is starting the process of preparation of the 2025 edition of the Rural Development Report (RDR), a flagship publication for the organization. Launched in 2016 and with 3 past editions, the RDR aspires to summarize the state of the art in an area of interest for investing in the rural poor. The 2025 Edition of the RDR will focus on financing for rural transformation. The RDR will aim to present an evidence-based policy agenda that informs financing strategies for rural transformation at multiple levels, including institutional, bilateral, country and project levels, as well as for other key stakeholders.

The RDR will be developed in parallel with IFAD’s new Strategic Framework. (2025-2031). IFAD’s Strategic Framework articulates the overarching goal, principles of engagement, strategic objectives, outcomes and pillars of results delivery to guide IFAD’s operations. The current framework runs from 2016-2025, meaning a revised framework is required. It’s development will include conducting Strategic Foresight analysis and extensive stakeholder consultations.

  • Under the supervision and guidance of a senior lead, support budget management and ensure budget commitments and disbursements are delivered in a timely and efficient manner.

  • Engage relevant internal and external partners in extensive consultation throughout the process; and ensure the provision of their expertise to the RDR and its implementation process.
  • Coordinate with the Technical Lead to produce regular production of short knowledge products to share insights coming out of the work to share internally and externally, and help to feed these insights into other IFAD processes including its new Strategic Framework
  • Support the parallel development of the new IFAD Strategic Framework (2025-2031), including supporting consultations and the drafting process.

 

Working Relationships

 

The Senior Project Coordinator (Rural Development Report) will work in SKD’s front office under the leadership and supervision of the AVP SKD and in close collaboration with the SKD’s Knowledge Unit.  The incumbent will provide day to day coordination of the RDR team consisting of a project technical lead and a research assistant, and ensure synergies with the development of the new IFAD Strategic Framework.
