This role will be offered on a 2-year fixed term contract, subject to availability of funding and will be based in Kampala, Uganda. This advert closes on 26th June 2026. GAIN encourages early applications and reserves the right to close the advert ahead of the advertised deadline if we receive a high volume of interest.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Millers Profiling and Selection
Oversee the profiling and selection of millers based on capacity, market performance, and gender/youth inclusion criteria.
Market Systems Strengthening
Strengthen market systems by building structured procurement linkages between millers and institutional buyers, enhancing farmer–miller relationships through contract farming and warehouse receipt systems, and partnering with financial institutions to develop tailored credit solutions.
