INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE
IBADAN – NIGERIA
VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT – ACCOUNTANT
(Ref: DDG-R4D/AfDB/AP/06/2012)
(SPECIFIC PROCUREMENT NOTICE - SPN)
1.0 BACKGROUND
This
invitation for applications follows the general procurement notice
(Reference No. AfDB43-04/12) for this project that appeared in UN
Development Business online on 27 April, 2012.
IITA is an
international non-profit research-for-development (R4D) organization
created in 1967, governed by a Board of Trustees, and supported
primarily by the Consultative Group of International Agricultural
Research (CGIAR). Our R4D is anchored on the development needs of
sub-Saharan Africa. We develop agricultural solutions with our partners
to tackle hunger and poverty by reducing producer and consumer risks,
enhancing crop quality and productivity, and generating wealth from
agriculture. We have more than 100 internationally recruited scientists
from about 35 countries and 900 nationally recruited staff based in
various stations across Africa. Please visit http://www.iita.org/ for more information on IITA.
The
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) (the Executing
Agency) and its partners Africa Rice Centre and the International Centre
for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (the Implementing Agencies) has
received a grant of about US$ 63 million from the African Development
Fund (ADF) to finance the Multinational-CGIAR Project on Support to
Agricultural Research for Development of Strategic Crops In Africa
(SARD-SC). The strategic crops within the context of the project are
Cassava, Maize, Wheat and Rice.
The overall objective of SARD-SC
is to enhance food and nutrition security and contribute to poverty
reduction in Bank’s low income Regional Member Countries (RMCs). Its
specific objective is to enhance the productivity and income of four
CAADP’s priority value chains (cassava, maize, rice, and wheat) on a
sustainable basis.
The International Institute of Tropical
Agriculture, the Executing Agency for the SARD-SC, wishes to use a
portion of the grant to engage the services of a project finance officer
as the Accountant. Thus, the IITA would like to invite finance experts
with track records to apply for the post of Accountant under the SARD-SC
Project.
