Vacancy: Technical Advisor - CARE USA Economic Development Unit - Learning, Impact, and Communication

CARE is seeking an experienced Technical Advisor, Learning, Impact and Communication to spend the majority of her/his time supporting the Pathways Program, which seeks to empower poor women smallholder farmers and to increase their productivity in more equitable agricultural systems at scale. In this role, s/he will work with the Senior Technical Advisor, Learning and Impact, the Pathways Program Coordinator and other key internal and external stakeholders to ensure this multi-country program is able to effectively measure, understand and learn from the impact of Pathways at both the country and global levels.

Launched in November 2011, Pathways will initially operate in six countries: Bangladesh, India, Malawi, Tanzania, Mali and Ghana. It is CARE's intent to grow Pathways as a programming platform for CARE's work related to women's empowerment, agriculture and food and livelihoods justice globally. In support of that vision - and a focus on increased forward and backward accountability - the program incorporates a robust learning, communication and scaling agenda that will be intensively supported by the TA Learning, Impact and Communication. The program has articulated a preliminary learning agenda and has plans to pursue robust evaluation as well as ongoing action research to advance this and improve performance over time.

The Technical Advisor, Learning Impact and Communication will support these efforts as well as an external collaboration and communications strategy aimed at engaging and influencing practice, policy and resource allocation.
