New Internship Opportunities at TechnoServe East Africa – Tanzania

TECHNOSERVE BACKGROUND
Everyone
deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has
been at the heart of TechnoServe’s work around the world for over 50
years. TechnoServe is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and
markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty.

The
low-income communities in which we work are full of enterprising people.
Their small-scale farms and businesses are the keys to economic
development. But they face many challenges: low literacy, lack of access
to jobs and markets, unpredictable political dynamics and,
increasingly, the effects of climate change. For many women and young
people, the challenges are even more daunting. Working with TechnoServe
staff, people around the world are lifting themselves out of poverty.
The results are amazing…when incomes increase and living conditions for
families get better, they are able to access health care and education
previously out of reach. Communities and even whole countries are better
off.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
TechnoServe is implementing
the USAID funded Alliance for Inclusive and Nutritious Food Processing
(AINFP) regional program in collaboration with Partners in Food
Solutions (PFS). The program leverages the power of the private sector
to create better nutritional outcomes for base-of-the-pyramid consumers
and more profitable market opportunities for local farmers. This is
achieved by supporting local food processing companies in Kenya,
Tanzania, Zambia and Ethiopia through remote technical assistance and
training from world leading food processing companies under PFS to
increase the availability of safe, affordable and nutritious food.

Through
this partnership, the AINFP program seeks to place an intern at the
clients’ area to work as a Nutritionist. Our main objective is to
provide the client with hands on support while nurturing the young
talented professionals in the food processing industry. Few of our
placed interns have demonstrated great talent and eagerness to learn
