CARE seeks a Strategic Learning Advisor for the anticipated USAID-funded Feed the Future Highlands Resilience Activity.
This procurement is expected to be a five-year cooperative agreement in the $50M+ range.

This procurement is expected to be released in November 2021 and awarded in May 2022.
This is anticipated to be Key Personnel position and as such the candidate proposed for this position is subject to USAID approval.

In partnership with the COP and technical staff, ensure appropriate and continued collaboration, coordination and joint-planning with USAID and other donor activities (specifically the USAID food security and resilience portfolio), host-government initiatives (such as the PSNP V) and relevant private sector actors.
(Given the significant number of humanitarian and resilience activities planned and ongoing in
