Cooperative Governance & Institutional Strengthening Specialist

(Sourcing / Expression of Interest – 2026–2027)

We are undertaking preliminary market sounding for a county-level programme focused on strengthening cooperative governance and institutional performance, with a strong emphasis on income delivery, accountability, and sustainable member value.

This initiative will support cooperative societies and cooperative-based institutions through board strengthening, governance reform, compliance improvement, and performance enhancement interventions.

At this stage, we are building a pool of senior specialists for short-term advisory and assignment-based engagements expected during 2026–2027.

This is an expression of interest only and not an immediate recruitment.

Depending on assignment needs, selected specialists may support:

• Cooperative board governance assessments and reforms
• Board and senior management advisory engagements
• Review and strengthening of governance, compliance, and accountability frameworks
• Institutional performance diagnostics and turnaround support
• Development of governance tools, policies, and operating frameworks
• Capacity-building sessions for boards, committees, and senior leadership
• Advisory support to county governments or cooperative oversight structures

Ideal Profile

We are interested in senior practitioners with:

• Proven experience supporting cooperative boards, SACCOs, unions, or member-based institutions
• Strong grounding in governance, compliance, institutional strengthening, or reform programmes
• Experience working with county governments, national agencies, development partners, or large cooperative ecosystems
• Ability to deliver practical, implementation-focused advisory support
• Availability for short-term assignments or advisory engagements over 2026–2027

Prior experience in agriculture, SACCOs, agribusiness cooperatives, or public-sector-linked programmes is an added advantage.

Engagement Structure
