This Opportunity:
Palladium seeks technical experts for an anticipated USAID-funded agriculture project in Rwanda. The program is expected to foster private sector-led agricultural modernization to sustainably increase productivity, farmers’ income, and the resilience of Rwandan agriculture and food systems.
