About AECF
The AECF is a leading development finance organization that supports businesses to innovate, create jobs and leverage investments to build resilience and sustainable incomes for rural and marginalized communities in Africa. The AECF aims to bridge the investment gap between early-stage enterprise and business maturity for entrepreneurs serving the poorest communities. We provide patient capital to new and innovative business models in the agribusiness and renewable energy sectors across Sub-Saharan Africa through various financing instruments. We also offer advisory services, investment support, and knowledge and insights to supplement finance. The AECF has successfully implemented programmes across 26 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, supporting over 375 enterprises, raising US$ 422 million in funding for programmes, that have created 25,000 jobs and impacted 28 million lives.

The Programme
Investing in Women in Benin – Burkina Faso (IIW-Benin- Burkina Faso) is a six-year integrated investment initiative intended to support female entrepreneurship and in value chains where women predominate principally in climate-smart agriculture by increasing investment in innovative and climate-smart solutions, thereby increasing their economic resilience in a changing climate. It will address systemic challenges facing women around access to finance, technical and business competence, inequality impacts of climate change and discriminatory gender norms whilst leading to sustained increases in incomes for resource-constrained women farmers. by providing- grant financing through direct investment grants to women-owned or led SMEs and women’s co-operatives and grants to stimulate loans to women from financial institutions.
The provision of matched grant funding will enable women to expand their business operations in ways they could not otherwise do because of the lack of access to the formal financing system. Technical assistance to women-owned or led SMEs and women’s co-operatives is an essential complementary component to finance, addressing low levels of business knowledge and capacity as well as the introduction of innovative concepts such as climate-smart agriculture. IIW-Benin – Burkina Faso will offer demand-driven market system-based and climate-smart solutions and will be managed by a team operating in both of Benin – Burkina Faso with a range of partners.

The Role
The Programme Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day management and implementation of the IIW-Benin – Burkina Faso programme work plan, including direct supervision of up to six programme staff based in offices to be established in both Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso or in Cotonou, Benin. The Programme Manager will coordinate between AECF teams, relevant regional and national government institutions, partner organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure the goals and milestones of the programme are realized. The position holder will lead on the technical delivery of the project and field operations support – as well as be the principal contact for all stakeholders. The position holder will be based either in Benin or in Burkina Faso and will be expected to travel to the other country regularly to visit staff and the various programme stakeholders.
