Title: Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) Business Development
Location: Kabul, Afghanistan
Contract Period: January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022; The Project is funded, pending USAID Key Positions approval.
Reports to: Chief of Party
PROJECT SUMMARY: The Agriculture Marketing Program (AMP) is a national program focused on the development of the horticulture sector. This program follows the development of the CHAMP Program from 2010 through 2019. AMP is a nationwide program heavily focused on exports and value add processing. The goal of the program is to expand agricultural exports by $500M in the next three years, support the development of new value-added products and develop new markets for Afghan agricultural products. The expanded exports will create additional demand for agricultural products that will drive job growth in rural areas.
In the event of a political settlement for peace, AMP will scale our efforts up in the newly accessible areas. These activities would be focused on increased and improved horticultural production and market connections.
Roots of Peace is in the award stage of AMP. AMP will establish market linkages connecting rural farmers with markets and facilitate trading relationships with Afghan traders or exporters being supported by other USAID mechanisms, as well as other traders and exporters identified by AMP itself. The Agriculture Marketing Program will maintain USAID's existing trade offices in India, Kazakhstan, and the United Arab Emirates, and possibly increase their locations.

About Roots of Peace
Roots of Peace is a humanitarian organization that has worked in war-torn countries around the world with our partners to remove the remnants of war, landmines and unexploded ordinance, and restore the land in order to rebuild peaceful communities for generations to come. For the past twenty years, the Roots of Peace award-winning “Mines to Vines” approach has impacted one million farmers and families, enabling the exports worth over $150 million to international markets. Since beginning our work in Afghanistan in 2003, Roots of Peace has worked with agricultural value chains in every province of the country resulting in 100,000 tons of exports, creating over 9,000 full-time agribusiness jobs that benefited more than 38,000 families from these value chain approaches.
