The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. The Open Society Foundations’ Arab Regional Office (ARO) was established in 2006 to support local civil society in its efforts to protect human rights, address issues of media and information, women’s empowerment, education and arts and culture. Based in Amman, with a satellite office in Tunis, the office supports a diverse group of civil society organizations, research centers, universities, and media organizations across the Arab world in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and Tunisia.

Reporting to the director of the ARO in Amman, Jordan, the food security program manager (in the Context of Climate Change in North Africa) is responsible for providing leadership, content, and direction ensuring the program’s effectiveness and impact, as well as working closely with ARO staff to support civil society more broadly in North Africa in this field.

The incumbent will assist ARO in developing its work and portfolio under Open Society’s Shared Framework on Food Security in the Context of Climate Change in Africa. ARO’s contribution to Open Society’s shared framework seeks to build small farmers’ knowledge, skills and technical capacities, and strengthen their role in advocating for alternative sustainable policies and models of agricultural development in North Africa. The project manager will contribute to strengthening ARO’s knowledge of the field, building partnerships and networks, and supporting country and regional level actions guided by ARO’s strategy on Food Security in the Context of Climate Change in North Africa Program.
