USAID Feed the Future Haiti Resilience and Agriculture Sector Advancement (HRASA) is a 5-year activity implemented by DAI. HRASA will build on USAID’s decades of investment in the Haitian agricultural sector and catalyze the resourcefulness and innovation of Haitian market system actors to transform agricultural market systems so that they are more competitive, inclusive, and resilient—ultimately advancing Haiti’s food security, sustainable economic development, and the Journey to Self-Reliance (J2SR). HRASA’s overarching goal is to increase individual, household, and community resilience through strengthened, well-functioning, and inclusive market systems. While Objective 1 activities will focus on improving the efficiency/ effectiveness of existing market system actors, Objective 2 will stimulate and expand PSE and investment in agricultural market systems. Objective 3 will target subsistence farming households, strengthening their capacities to participate in market system opportunities emerging from activities under Objectives 1 and 2. All activities will take place in the communes in the two defined Resilience Focus Zones (RFZs) highlighted in the Activity scope of work. However, the focus of these activities will vary, depending on the circumstances and selected commodities prevalent in each region.

The Human Resources (HR) Manager will work with the Director of Finance and Operations (DFO) to ensure that HRASA follows USAID and DAI policies and Haiti labor laws, coordinate project recruitment efforts, maintain personnel files, resolve HR issues, and communicate with long-term project staff members on HR policies.
