The Government of Kenya has received financial support from International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Spanish Trust Fund for the implementation of Upper Tana Natural Resources Management Project. The goal of the project is to contribute to reduction of rural poverty in the Upper Tana River catchment and is pursued through two development objectives which reflect the poverty-environment nexus:
(i) Increased sustainable food production and incomes for poor rural households living in the project area and
(ii) Sustainable management of natural resources for provision of environmental services.
The government plans to utilize a portion of the funds to support placement of a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer (M&EO) at the PCU. The officer will be serving on one year contract renewable annually for the period of the project subject to satisfactory annual assessment. Interested applicants should be Kenyan citizens and have capacity to work with minimum supervision to meet strict deadlines as well as willingness to work outside normal office working hours. Female candidates are highly encouraged to apply.
