One Acre Fund Rotation Agro-forestry Associate / Manager Jobs in Kenya

One Acre Fund is growing quickly, and we plan to at least quadruple our farmer impact in the next five years.

One of the key strategies for driving this increase in farmer impact will be making sure that farmers have access to inputs and knowledge to grow economically and environmentally impactful trees.

Growing trees can have a number of benefits for smallholder farmers; they improve total land productivity, improve soil fertility, and generally improve farmer resilience through diversified assets.

Additionally, they contribute positively to local ecosystems and mitigate the effects of climate change.

One Acre Fund’s country teams have helped farmers plant millions of trees so far and plan to support the planting of hundreds of millions more over the next ten years.

Our goal now is to support teams to refine their models to make them as impactful, efficient, and environmentally responsible as possible, while also significantly expanding scale and farmer access.

To do this, OAF is investing in improving its technical expertise, and in translating that expertise into action.

The Rotational Agroforestry Associate or Manager will be responsible for meeting internal and external stakeholder technical needs as they arise, and directly leading country teams’ agroforestry trial and implementation activities during 6 month-1 year rotational assignments.

Concretely speaking, the Rotational Agroforestry Associate or Manager will rotate through a progression of field-based postings, followed by the opportunity for a permanent posting or further rotations depending on the candidate’s interests
