Exciting Opportunities to Work in East Africa with the Largest Aid-For-Trade Facility in the World!

TradeMark
East Africa (TMEA) is funded by a range of development agencies with
the aim of growing prosperity in East Africa through trade. 

We believe that enhanced trade contributes to economic growth, a reduction in poverty and subsequently increased prosperity. 

TMEA
is now the largest aid-for-trade facility in the world and we have
vibrant and successful country programmes in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania,
Uganda, Burundi, and South Sudan. 

 

The
first phase of TMEA has delivered exceptional results which have
directly contributed to substantial gains in East Africa’s trade and
regional integration environment in terms of reduced transit times,
improved border efficiency, and reduced barriers to trade.

The
second phase, which starts in mid-2017, aims to deliver even more
large-scale impact to maximise the potential benefits of aid-for-trade
interventions. 

We are looking for high calibre, results-oriented and experienced professionals for the positions below.
 

Director, Sustainable & Inclusive Trade

The ideal candidate will have a Master’s degree in Gender, Development, Social Sciences or related field, with 10 years’ advisory or management experience working on SIT development concepts and related issues.
