Recruitment of Programme Coordination
Unit Staff
The Government of Kenya (GoK) has
signed a Financial Agreement with the International Fund for Agricultural
Development (IFAD) in December 2010 to support a six year Programme for Rural
Outreach of Financial Innovations and Technologies (PROFIT).
The overall goal of the programme is
to contribute to the reduction of poverty in rural Kenya.
Its development objective is to
increase incomes of the target group as a result of improved production,
productivity and marketing in the various rural enterprise sectors.
The Programme intends to achieve this
through an enhanced and systematically sustainable access to a broad range of
financial services coupled with the necessary capacity building to the rural
poor households. PROFIT has a national coverage with a focus on rural areas of
Kenya.
Special focus is given to areas with
agricultural potential, areas of high poverty incidence, and the ASAL
region.
The Coordination Unit (PCU) is based
at The National Treasury in Nairobi.
