C/O Comforce Technical Services
USAID's Office of Microenterprise Development (MD)
is seeking an experienced development professional with a strong social science
background to serve as its Senior Knowledge Management Advisor (SKMA),
providing leadership to MD's research and knowledge generation activities. MD
is pursuing an ambitious new strategy to advance the frontiers of
microenterprise development. To help us achieve this goal, we are seeking a
dynamic individual with substantial experience relevant to research and
microenterprise development.
The SKMA will work collaboratively with the
Financial Services and Business Development Services Technical Teams to design
and manage the knowledge management components of MD's strategy. MD is looking
for guidance from the SKMA on research design and methodologies, applied
research, impact assessment, as well as other ideas for exploration.
Additionally, the SKMA will lead MD's communications strategy to ensure
effective knowledge dissemination, and the coordination of agency-wide
knowledge generation efforts.
USAID has long been a leader in microfinance and
microenterprise development, and spends over $150 million per year to support
high-quality microfinance, business service, and policy reform programs. MD's
staff of 14 provides field support and technical leadership to reinforce
Mission-based programs. Its investments - in research and dissemination of best
practices to diverse audiences - have been an integral part of this leadership
and a major claim on MD's annual budget of $20+ million. Recently, MD has begun
the development of an ambitious new learning agenda for the microenterprise
field. As a senior advisor with cross-cutting responsibilities, the SKMA will
lead the design, management, and coordination of the diverse components of MD's
learning and research agenda.
The ideal Advisor would have a strong background in
diverse research approaches and methodologies, and the ability to translate
research findings into a learning agenda relevant to practitioners, donors,
policy makers and researchers. The position calls for someone with broad
development knowledge and experience, which might include microenterprise and
private sector development, financial sector development, and initiatives to
improve the enabling environment for the informal and formal microenterprise
sectors. Given the broad scope and importance of teamwork, this position will
place great importance on an individual's entrepreneurial skills and ability to
motivate others. Language ability in French and Spanish and overseas work
