MEDA (Mennonite Economic Development Associates) invites applications for the senior post of Country Director for our SSBVC project in Tanzania. MEDA is an association of compassionate women and men who invest in people living in poverty around the world so they can unleash their potential to earn a livelihood to provide for their families and enrich their communities. To learn more about MEDA and our work, please visit www.meda.org.
• Country Director – Tanzania (20-month contract)
• Start Date: September/October 2019
• Location: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
• Criteria: Tanzanian nationals only
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Strengthening Small Business Value Chains (SSBVC) project is a six-year, $30.82 million initiative funded and implemented by MEDA (supporters and partners) with funding ($15.75 million) from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) which runs from 2015 to 2021.
The project aims to contribute to Tanzanian economic growth and increase job creation by improving the business performance of small, growing businesses (SGBs) and small entrepreneurs (SEs) within the following five sectors: Agri-food; Logistics; Construction; Manufacturing; and Extractives.
The project activities will be serving 14 regions and Dar es Salam through the following three targeted corridors: Mtwara Corridor (Mtwara and Lindi); Morogoro Corridor (Njombe, Mbeya, Songwe, Singida, Dodoma, Iringa, Morogoro, and Pwani); and Arusha Corridor (Arusha, Manyara, Kilimanjaro, and Tanga).
MEDA has primarily worked through providing matching grants to SGBs and Business Alliances. Over the life of the project MEDA will provide and partner on:
• Sustainability Innovation Grants to 30 SGBs selected as Lead Firms, who can each improve the businesses of hundreds of SEs, for a total reach of 10,000 SEs;
• Business Development Services (BDS) to SGBs with BDS provision to 225 SGBs;
• Mobilize 60 business alliances fostering sector-wide collaboration; and
• Partnering with stakeholders to improve business environment for SEs and SGBs by co-piloting innovative business environment solutions grants.
SSBVC is an exciting project in Tanzania as it mobilizes macro-economic development through partnerships with small and medium growing businesses whom can empower their supply chain in both directions. Through these business partnerships, we can facilitate economic growth that can spur social improvements in the communities surrounding our partners.
