The Position: Finance Manager
Foundation for Youth Initiative is seeking to recruit a full-time competent finance manager. Currently, we are implementing a Community Institutions Development Program that supports indigenous small and medium enterprises (SMEs) including smallholder farmer cooperatives and women and youth-led social enterprises in South Sudan. We directly give grant investment to enterprises that wish to invest in strategic commodities such as maize, peanut, sesame, sorghum, cassava, vegetables, coffee, gum arabic, Shea-butter oil and beehive keeping with an emphasis on value addition chain development.
We infuse funding as working capital to SMEs to improve their production capacity, operational capabilities or management system with view to generate revenues, improve incomes, create jobs and contribute to delivery of basic services in their communities.
