Catalyzing Afghan Agricultural Innovation (CAAI) USAID Project, Multi Location
Afghan agricultural education faces many challenges ranging from infrastructure and governance to curriculum development and training of education professionals. Yet, the livelihoods of 50 percent of the country’s population are tied to production agriculture, either directly or indirectly. The Catalyzing Afghan Agricultural Innovation (CAAI) program is five-year program commenced on May 28, 2018 and is funded by USAID under an Associate Award which will improve the capacity of agricultural educational institutions to serve their clientele groups. CAAI will improve relevance and capacity in agricultural education and promote new roles for educators and researchers by building relationships among them and with the private sector.
A robust agricultural economy is dependent on a modern agricultural education system that provides both relevant education and skills to students, farmers, and extension educators alike. The effective coordination and communication of missions and objectives across all segments of agriculture is essential for the success of CAAI.
The Provincial Technical Specialist will assist in leading the technical agricultural education and training activities of the CAAI project, collaborating in these activities with partners in the education, public and private sectors, and with USAID programs working in agriculture and agricultural education.
The Provincial Technical Specialist will work closely with stakeholders at DAIL, Faculties of Agriculture, TVET AVI, agriculture high schools, private sector, and USAID programs, and recommend technical activities to build the human and institutional capacity using CAAI’s practical training methodology. This will involve putting in place systems of planned technical activities for targeted audiences across agriculture stakeholder groups.
