More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
In Bungoma, Kenya, MWB partner One Acre Fund’s goal is to eradicate the chronic hunger problem in Africa by providing an investment package that enables farm families to grow their way out of hunger, permanently. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre Fund provides farmers with the education, farm inputs and market access necessary to become self-sustaining and never go hungry again.
Activities
Annabel's main project is to develop and implement a local staff recruitment and selection process as well as revise the existing orientation/training curriculum and performance management systems that the organization already has in place.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $153

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
If training of OAF's field officers with the MBA's selection, hiring and training process goes well, it should be able to replicated in other areas and work towards OAF's milestone of reaching 30,000 families in the next 3 years!
Project Message
It’s very exciting to create these tools and then see them in action the very next week. After it’s been implemented, we review, gather feedback, and make any necessary changes.

Latest Update from the Field
Nearing the end
By Annabel Khouri - MWB Volunteer, December 06, 2007 05:48 PM
I am nearing the end of my time with One Acre Fund. The past few weeks I have focused on tying up loose ends on the HR processes, including the development of a training library for staff that includes multiple management training scripts. The lessons learned have been incorporated into the materials and I feel confident that the process developed will enable OAF to expand its operations to other locations in 2008.
In the coming weeks, I will be doing a few random projects including working with local staff to develop logical file structures and creating a knowledge management process for staff to prevent problems with duplicate efforts and implement some semblance of version control.
Local staff are preparing for the holidays and the elections.
