Nigeria Talent Acquisition Associate at One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider that supports Africa's smallholder farmers to build resilient communities. More than 50 million families in Sub-Saharan Africa earn a living from small farms, which produce 80 percent of the continent’s food. But harvests still lag far behind the rest of the world. We supply the financing and training these farmers need to grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.

Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to help them increase their yields and their profits. When farmers become more productive, they help feed healthy communities and create thriving economies. They also reduce environmental pressure by doing more with less land.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
