Adam Smith International - London, United Kingdom
Job Description
Background to the programmeASI is currently designing and will implement a large five year UK Department for International Development (DFID) private sector development programme in the DRC. The five year programme will apply a “making markets work for the poor (M4P)” approach in developing markets and increasing incomes. The programme will operate in Kinshasa, Katanga, Kasai Occidental, Equator and the Kivus. In addressing market constraints the programme is expected to facilitate systemic change in a range of market systems, including but not limited to agriculture, services and cross-cutting products. It will also be sufficiently flexible to ensure it can focus activities on those sectors in which the programme can influence increased incomes for large numbers of poor people. The programme places gender equity, social inclusion, conflict sensitivity and the protection and promotion of the environment at the forefront of its programming decisions and activities.
