Positions at a Project on Women's and Youth's Contribution to Economy

MEDA invites applications for the posts of a Deputy Project Director, a Value Chain Specialist in the Food Processing Sector and a Environment and Clean Technology Value Chain Specialist for the Jordan Valley Links project in Amman, Jordan. The successful candidates will ideally be able to assume duties in March/April 2017.
The project's aim is to increase the contribution by Jordanian women and youth to Jordan’s economic growth. This will be done by improving entrepreneurial and business acumen of women and youth and by reducing barriers to entry (market and societal/cultural) for enterprise development.
MEDA, in partnership with the Government of Canada, is implementing the Jordan Valley Links project which will provide women and youth, as well as existing market actors, with the capacity building and incentives required to develop their businesses and better integrate women and youth producers in three value chains: food processing, tourism and clean technologies.
