State-Based Program Officer (Kano)

Requirements

  • B.Sc Degree / HND in Agriculture, Agricultural Extension, Agronomy, Crop/Soil Science, Agricultural Economics, Environmental Science, Rural Development, or a related field
  • 3–5 years of progressive experience in agricultural or rural development projects (NGO/donor-funded preferred)
  • Hands-on experience with climate-smart agriculture and ICT4Ag tools
  • Direct work with smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and government structures at state/LGA level
  • Experience with digital data collection tools (ODK, KoboCollect, MS Excel)
  • Experience recruiting or managing community-level agents or field networks is an advantage
  • Fluency in English and the predominant local language of Kano State
  • Must be resident in or willing to relocate to Kano State

Benefits

  • Competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience
  • 1-year renewable contract subject to funding and performance
  • Exposure to donor-funded agricultural development programming
  • Mission-driven work environment with real community impact
  • Equal opportunity employer — qualified women and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply
