RECODA and the French NGO CARI are hiring a Technical Officer to lead the organic waste recycling component of the Kilimo Endelevu Arusha (KEA) project. This is a full-time, 24-month position based at the Nane Nane grounds in Arusha, starting June 2026. About the project Kilimo Endelevu Arusha is a project co-financed by the French Development Agency (AFD) and implemented by CARI, RECODA, and MVIWAARUSHA. Running from June 2025 to May 2028, it works to strengthen the resilience of communities in Northern Tanzania against climate change and environmental disruption. At the heart of this role is a compelling question: how can the organic waste produced in the city of Arusha be composted and recycled to restore soil fertility for the small-scale farmers who feed that same city? A Phase I study showed that markets and households generate enormous amounts of organic waste daily — almost none of which is currently recycled. This role exists to change that. What you will do You will map local actors in waste management and soil fertility, conduct studies on organic matter transformation and farm requirements, support composting trials, develop economic models for scaling up recycling activities, and facilitate multi-stakeholder workshops. You will also contribute to technical reports and monthly project coordination meetings. What we are looking for A Master’s degree in agronomy, soil science, environmental studies, natural resources management, or a related field, plus at least 3 years of experience in project implementation — covering areas like waste management, natural resource governance, or smallholder support. You should have solid knowledge of soil fertility, circular economy principles, and waste management policy, as well as strong writing, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills. Fluency in English is required.
