Global Communities is seeking a Chief of Party (COP) for a five-year, $25-30M USDA McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition (McGovern-Dole) project in El Salvador. The key objective of the McGovern-Dole Program is to reduce hunger and improve literacy and primary education, especially for girls. By providing school meals, teacher training and related support, McGovern-Dole projects help boost school enrollment and academic performance. At the same time, the program also focuses on improving children’s health and learning capacity before they enter school by offering nutrition programs for pregnant and nursing women, infants and pre-schoolers. For over 21 years Global Communities has been a trusted USDA McGovern-Dole implementing partner with active programs in Central America and Africa.
The COP will lead and oversee the overall implementation of the program, including technical strategy, financial and operational leadership, and human resources. The COP is responsible for overall program implementation, strategic vision, and outcome achievement. The COP provides an integrated vision for the program and will manage a team of senior staff to ensure the quality, timeliness, and efficiency of all products and activities generated under the project. The COP will be responsible for communications with USDA, for publicly representing the project, and for liaising with Government entities and other institutions/stakeholders.
