Team Leader

Location: Middle East / North Africa
Location: Ethiopia
Job Code: 5331

Description

Overview

Strengthening Host and Refugee Populations in Ethiopia (SHARPE) is an initiative funded by the UK Department for International Development (DfID). The aim is to create inclusive economic growth for, and increase the economic agency of, host and refugee communities in three regions in Ethiopia, namely Gambella, Dollo Ado and Jijiga.

SHARPE utilises a Market Systems Development (MSD) approach to partner with private and public sectors players to facilitate investment and innovation in key regional markets, namely cereals, horticulture, livestock and small ruminants, dairy, poultry, fisheries, financial and business services and the regional labour market. Because humanitarian assistance constitutes a significant transfer of goods and services in these regions, SHARPE also support efforts which enable this assistance to strengthen the regional economy by flowing regional economic channels.

Investment and innovation should result in regional market systems and the host and refugee communities participating in these to become more productive and resilient, and experience increases in employment opportunities, income and savings. Joint economic participation in growing economic sectors should also facilitate win-win scenarios (mutually beneficial exchanges) for host and refugee communities and contribute to the integration of refugee communities in the regional economy, in line with Ethiopia’s Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF, i.e., the ‘Nine Pledges’).

SHARPE is expected to last for 3.5 years, from September 2019 to March 2023.
