Project Coordinator 2Seeds Korogwe, Tanzania


The 2Seeds Network is an incorporated non-profit which serves as an umbrella organization incubating small, efficient, and effective agricultural development projects in Africa. 2Seeds recruits and trains young and bright graduates at the beginning of their careers to live in rural Tanzania for one year and build projects targeted at area subsistence farmers. The goal is to incubate the region's human capital so that local farmers create more food to eat and capture more profit from the produce they sell. In a joint effort, our teams address the issue of food and income security by training rural farmers in agricultural best practices. At every step, 2Seeds encourages our project leaders to embrace independent decision making, enforce financial accountability, and humbly seek a deep and sincere partnership with the local African community.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

2Seeds seeks inspired, courageous, and bold young leaders to serve as Project Coordinators for the 2013-2014 cycle (August 2013-July 2014). Project Coordinator live and work in rural Tanzania for one year to develop agricultural development projects targeted at area subsistence farmers.

Project Coordinators live in communities and develop sustainable development projects with local tanzanian partners aimed at increasing food and income security as well as transferring knowledge to local leadership. Project Coordinators are matched with a mentor – a highly-accomplished professional who will serve as their personal and professional coach for the year as Project Coordinators. The experience is designed to provide accelerated leadership development.

There are varying stages of projects and types of placements, and applicants are encouraged to think about which one matches their professional and personal development goals:

- Village-Based Placement, Continuing Project: You will live in a village that knows 2Seeds and has worked with Project Coordinators in the past. An already-in-motion project will offer you a solid starting point and foundation, but it will be yours to shape and push to new levels of success. Perfect for: Someone who likes to take a good thing and make it better; someone who enjoys the deep relationships that come from living in community.

- Village-Based Placement, Green Field Project: You will live in a village that has never worked with 2Seeds before. Your role in the first phase will be to assess the community—its strengths, assets, and culture. You will then (a) design a project that will radically change the picture of economic and food security for the village members over the next few years, and (b) build the early infrastructure, metrics, and community that will set it up for success long-term. Perfect for: Someone who loves the challenge of developing new relationships, becoming part of a new community, and can envision a solution after understanding a problem.

- Specialized Placement, Continuing Project: You will live in a major city and work with partners to push a project already-in-motion to the next level. You will interact with other international NGOs on a regular basis and seek new ways of building our network to be more efficient, productive, and lucrative at market. Perfect for: Someone who wants to push the envelope on the macro-level of economic development and further develop an idea already in motion.

- Specialized Placement, Green Field Project: You will live in a major city and build a project from scratch that will take 2Seeds' assets from across the network to the next level. You will seek to understand what is already happening, ask big questions, and test big hypotheses. Your growing understanding of the international NGO landscape will allow you to see how 2Seeds' approach is different and how it is uniquely positioned to have significant impact on the lives of its partners. Perfect for: Someone with incredible vision who wants to build something from scratch and set the stage for a "Big Idea" to play out over the next many years.
