Up for an adventure?
Since gaining its independence in 1975, Mozambique has remained one of the poorest countries in the world. Five centuries of Portuguese rule and a tumultuous civil war have left the country's economy in a weakened state. However, with a large international aid presence and an increasing number of foreign companies entering the local market, Mozambique's economy is on the rise.
Potentially launching in early 2013, the Sustainable Marketplace Initiative - Mozambique will leverage foreign direct investment and international aid into opportunities for Mozambican small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow their businesses and create job, thereby reducing poverty and guiding the economy on the path to sustainable development.
We're offering a six-month fellowship starting in February 2013. The fellow will spearhead our Mozambique First campaign. The objective is simple - we want the international community to buy into buying local. We want them to put Mozambique First; and we want you to help us do it - from the drawing board to the streets of Maputo.
We need someone who is smart, creative, persuasive, and passionate about building markets (double entendre intended). If you can write eloquently; captivate an audience effortlessly; think, live and breathe outside the box; and happen to possess a valid passport, this just might be the opportunity for you!
We're giving you ONE PAGE to tell us who you are, and how you're going to help us run the campaign - whether by infographic, one act play, or Shakespearean sonnet. This is an opportunity for unfettered creativity and innovation!
You have until 1700hrs EST on Friday 25 January 2013. Put "Mozambique First Fellowship" in your email subject. Tweet us @BuildingMrkets or email us at vacancies@buildingmarkets.org.
