Opportunity

Abt Associates, a mission-driven, global leader in research and program implementation in the field of international development, seeks qualified candidates for an upcoming USAID-funded Agricultural Systems and Institutional Strengthening project in Uganda.

The objective of the program is to put Ugandan institutions on a true path to self-reliance and autonomy by improving their internal abilities to self-assess pain points and take intentional steps to make improvements.

The program will work with both the public sector and private APEX organizations, improving business practices, enhancing relationship management, supporting institutional reorganization, and development of strategic plans and costed implementation plans.

The COP will be responsible for overall technical, administrative, and financial management leadership to produce results.

The COP will provide the strategic vision, and be the voice of the project to external senior stakeholders in USAID, public and private sector.

This position is contingent upon a successful contract award to Abt Associates. Successful candidates will have a proven record of leading a large team to achieve results.
