One
Acre Fund is an agricultural NGO that is innovating a new way of helping farm
families to achieve their full potential. In more than five years in Rwanda, we
have grown to serve 100,000 farm families with more than 1,000 full-time field
staff. We provide farmers with a “market bundle” that includes
education, finance, seed and fertilizer, and market access. Our program is
proven impactful – every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure
50-100% average gain in farm income per acre. We only serve farmers, and we
always put Farmers First.

As
we grow, it becomes necessary to centralize and systematize local employee
development across the program. In Rwanda, all local staff development will
fall under the umbrella of “TUBURA University,” which aims to be the premier
employee leadership program in Rwanda. Training and Development Manager will
help to implement this vision.
