II. POSITION MANDATE
Resonance is seeking candidates to serve as Mid-level Inclusive Agriculture Coordinator for Investing in Women to Strengthen Supply Chains: A Global Development Alliance (GDA) between PepsiCo and USAID.

It will leverage PepsiCo’s demonstration farms, which are sites where PepsiCo agronomists showcase and train farmers on good agricultural practices and technology to improve production.
By featuring interventions that consider the unique needs, priorities, skills, and knowledge of women farmers, laborers, and entrepreneurs, PepsiCo will be able to strengthen women’s agricultural capacity, demonstrate the importance of women’s roles within their potato supply chains, and leverage women’s contributions to achieve core business and sustainability goals.
