The Director of Finance and Administration (DFA) will oversee all financial, administrative, and operational functions—ensuring compliance, financial integrity, and efficient resource management for a five-year, U.S. Department of Agriculture Food for Progress project in Ethiopia with Global Communities. Food for Progress programs help developing countries and emerging democracies modernize and strengthen their agricultural sectors. Food for Progress has two principal objectives: to improve agricultural productivity and to expand trade in agricultural products. This project will use a strategic market-driven initiative to transform Ethiopia’s livestock sector and advance U.S. trade and development interests within it.
The DFA is responsible for overseeing and directing all financial, human resources, IT, procurement, logistics and administrative operations of the program. In particular, the DFA oversees the program's financial operations and performs ongoing reporting to ensure the program's financial integrity and the compliant use and allocation of funds and resources.
