AGRA is implementing the MIRA project - a five-year initiative to provide African governments with access to high quality local and international technical assistance. This is with the aim of identifying, prioritizing and reforming specific agricultural regulations that currently deter or limit private investment in agribusinesses operating in smallholder agricultural value chains. In doing so, the MIRA project will help to build the capacity of African governments to continuously review and reform regulations that unintentionally limit private investment in local agribusinesses operating in smallholder value chains.

 Build strategic partnerships and develop joint dialogue initiatives under the MIRA project; 
 Provide technical and organizational advice to MIRA project National Coordinators; 
 Support National Coordinators to systematically monitor progress on regulatory reforms in smallholder value chains; 
 Act as an expert resource person to the National Coordinators and other stakeholders on international experiences, best practices, normative standards and policy options on regulatory reform issues; and 
 Support capacity development of key stakeholders to conduct policy research, grassroots consultations and policy advocacy to Governments, National Assemblies and other stakeholders. 
 
Key Qualifications, Knowledge & Experience required: 
 
 Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Business Administration, Law, Public Administration, Political Science, Social Sciences or related field; 
 At least 10 years’ experience in business or development cooperation with an emphasis on support to regulatory reform; 
 Extensive experience in policy-related planning, management of development cooperation, monitoring and evaluation of development projects and programmes; 
 In-depth understanding of food and agricultural policy and regulatory reform issues in Africa, and the ability to develop viable solutions of the same; and 
 Excellent oral and written communication skills in English. Fluency in French is a prerequisite for working in the Francophone countries.
