Company Profile The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) is the apex continental organization responsible for coordinating and advocating for agricultural research for development (AR4D) in Africa. The conception of FARA was informed by the need to strengthen and coalesce under one umbrella, Africa’s weak and fragmented agricultural research systems so that they could enhance agriculture’s potential to ensure food security and also lift African people out of poverty. The FARA Secretariat is the lead institution for Pillar IV of NEPAD’s Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) which encompasses agricultural research and technology dissemination and adoption. FARA works closely with sub-regional organizations (SROs) and national agricultural research and extension systems to ensure effective implementation of CAADP activities. With a continental reach, FARA provides an entry point for agricultural research initiatives in Africa; offers a continental platform for stakeholders in AR4D to shape the vision and agenda for research on the continent; galvanizes the AR4D community; and brings a strong African voice to global research forums and institutions. The operations of the secretariat require strong financial management, hence the need to engage the services of a Finance Assistant to undertake the following: Job Description Information and Communication Technology Officer: Ref: FARA/adv./IT/2017 The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) is an umbrella organization bringing together and forming coalitions of major stakeholders in agricultural research and development in Africa.
