💬The TAF4ALL team's review

This profile stands out for a rare depth of hands-on experience: over 30 years designing and managing agricultural and rural development programs funded by the World Bank, EU, USAID and Enabel, which means this candidate already knows how to navigate donor procedures, reporting standards and multi-stakeholder coordination from day one. Their recent work as Component 3 Manager on the PRSA/FSRP program in Niger is particularly relevant for a Senior Agricultural Economist role, since it combined regional market integration and trade under ECOWAS and AfCFTA frameworks with concrete deliverables such as steering the creation of Niger's National Rice Observatory and supporting the National Rice Development Strategy. Earlier experience on PIMELAN adds solid grounding in value chain development, climate-smart agriculture and the operationalization of national advisory systems, showing this candidate can move between high-level policy dialogue and field-level implementation. We would encourage employers looking for someone who can lead complex, donor-funded agricultural programs with both technical credibility and institutional know-how to take a close look at this profile.
