Under the direct supervision of the Activity 5 Manager, the incumbent will provide strategic and technical support to drive FtMA close-out implementation under Pillar 2 (Markets and Access to Finance), ensuring strong market continuity mechanisms, FSC graduation, structured trade linkages, supplier readiness, and sustainability commitments from both government and private-sector actors.
JOB TITLE: Programme Policy Officer (Markets and Logistics)
TYPE OF CONTRACT: SSA Level 9
UNIT/DIVISION: Farm to Market Alliance
DUTY STATION (City, Country): Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
DURATION: 6 Months
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
The Farm to Market Alliance (FtMA) is a multi-stakeholder platform bringing together public and private sector actors with a shared mission to strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers by increasing access to productivity-enhancing services and structuring access to reliable off-take markets through the Farmer Service Centre (FSC) model. FSCs serve as vital last-mile agribusiness hubs, providing farmers with access to quality agricultural inputs, financial products, extension and advisory services, mechanization, post-harvest solutions, and market linkages, thereby improving productivity, profitability, and resilience. Launched in 2022, FtMA Tanzania currently operates across six regions: Iringa, Njombe, Mbeya, Manyara, Singida, and Morogoro, with a network of 493 FSCs across 18 districts.
The strategic aim of FtMA is to increase income and resilience of smallholders by linking them into commercially sustainable value chains. By strengthening agricultural retail input networks, structured trade, aggregation systems, and long-term off-taker relationships, FtMA improves access to reliable, cost-effective services, inputs, technologies, and markets. This creates a stronger market pull for sustained smallholder development while unlocking opportunities for innovation and modernization across the value chain. FtMA’s broader vision is to enable sustainable food systems through strengthened markets that empower smallholders to increase yields, incomes, and resilience while contributing to food security. This is achieved through an inclusive commercial ecosystem supported by enabling policies, strategic partnerships, and investments in both hard and soft market infrastructure.
As FtMA Tanzania enters its final implementation and project close-out phase toward December 2026, the focus has shifted from expansion to sustainability, institutionalization, and protection of results achieved since 2022. Priority is now on consolidating gains under the FSC model, strengthening market continuity, deepening access-to-finance pathways, transitioning mature FSCs into sustainable agribusiness hubs, and supporting supplier readiness for WFP and private-sector procurement systems. Within this context, Pillar 2: Markets and Access to Finance is central to securing the commercial viability of FSCs and ensuring that farmer-level gains and private-sector relationships continue beyond WFP support. WFP, as host of the coordination function for this comprehensive market systems intervention, is seeking an individual to provide technical leadership and implementation support to advance these close-out priorities.
PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Under the direct supervision of the FtMA Deputy Coordinator/Activity 5 Manager, the incumbent will provide strategic and technical support to drive FtMA close-out implementation under Pillar 2 (Markets and Access to Finance), ensuring strong market continuity mechanisms, FSC graduation, structured trade linkages, supplier readiness, and sustainability commitments from both government and private-sector actors.

Access to Finance

Lead market-facing graduation pathways for FSCs, including business performance reviews, trade readiness, and service-bundle profitability.
