Description
About TechnoServe:Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has been at the heart of TechnoServe's work around the world for over 50 years. TechnoServe is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty.
Food security and nutrition are essential to the prosperity and future of people and communities. One way TechnoServe does this is by bringing business and technical knowledge to capacitate food processors and key service providers to address their needs, helping them become competitive drivers in the food system, increasing profits, employment, inclusivity, trade, food safety, and access to nutritious foods.

USAID AFFORD seeks to safely and sustainably reduce micronutrient inadequacies and improve diets, particularly for women and children, through LSFF of staple foods and condiments.
Position Description:
The Knowledge Management and Communications Manager (KM Manager) helps document and share project knowledge and stories to inspire change. Working with the project team, the KM Manager supports the translation of project learnings into knowledge products and leads external communications activities to disseminate these knowledge products.
The qualified candidate will be able to carry out multiple complex tasks and effectively engage with the project team, TechnoServe communications team members, USAID, and other project stakeholders.
