Background
The Tuboreshe Chakula project is a USAID funded project, whose purpose is to transform a critical segment of Tanzania's agro-processing industry – maize, rice, edible oil and horticulture processing – and dramatically increase the supply of and demand for nutritious and fortified foods, especially among vulnerable populations in the food insecure regions of Morogoro, Dodoma and Manyara.
The Project will achieve this goal by building the capacity of agro-processors to improve the quality, safety, presentation, sale and distribution of new and existing food products; to maximize its impact and reach vulnerable groups, particularly the target audience of pregnant or lactating women, children between 6 months and 59 months of age, and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in the project's districts of operation.
The USAID Tuboreshe Chakula Project is a key activity of the Feed the Future (FtF) initiative, a major U.S. Government effort which aims to address the root causes of global hunger by sustainably increasing agricultural productivity to meet the demand for improved, nutritious foods.
Tuboreshe Chakula is seeking a Finance Manager to work closely with the Deputy Chief of Party on the day-to-day finance activities of the project. The position is based in Dar es Salaam and will require occasional travel to the offices in Dodoma, Morogoro, and Babati.
