Our clients, the Department for International Development (DFID) in partnership with other potential development partners including Denmark, the Netherlands, Canada and Belgium are seeking to recruit a Chief Executive Officer and five Country Directors for Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda under the Regional East African Integration Programme (REAP) whose overall goal is to increase growth and reduce poverty in East Africa by delivering significant strategic support to the East African Community's (EAC) regional integration process, improving the region's transport corridors and reducing the costs of trade and doing business in East Africa.
REAP's implementation mechanism is TradeMark East Africa (TMEA), a not-for-profit that will provide a long term focus on building East African regional integration capacity and a platform for scaling-up of Aid For Trade (AFT) in trade-related infrastructure, corridor development, regional investment climate harmonisation, export development, trade facilitation and coping with the social and environmental adjustment costs of deeper integration and rapid export-led growth.
TMEA will be headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya with branch offices in each of the other four EAC States and an EAC Secretariat liaison office in Arusha, Tanzania.
In order to ensure that TMEA delivers on its strategic objectives, we now seek to recruit high calibre, results oriented and self driven professionals who will be employed by TMEA to provide leadership and strategic direction in these initial positions:
