Business Development Advisor

Business Development Advisors assist Ugandan households in achieving economic security and improved food and nutrition security. Volunteers work with community members to build the capacity of women, youth and farmers to apply improved money management practices, develop their entrepreneurial potential, implement income generating activities and increase households’ adoption of nutritious diets. Volunteers work in rural communities where people have a higher need for food security and economic development opportunities especially in areas not reached by other organizations. Volunteers also work with schools, health centers and other stakeholders to promote household nutrition.Volunteers support community members to pursue available employment opportunities, build capacity to create their own economic opportunities, and learn critical money management skills needed to manage household income and expenses. Volunteers collaborate with community members to strengthen the skills individuals need to contribute to the economic security and upward economic mobility of their households.
