Background:

German Sparkassenstiftung for International Cooperation (DSIK) is a German NGO that promotes financial sector development. Established in 1992 by several Sparkassen in Germany, DSIK has since operated in more than 80 countries and successfully implemented over 200 projects. In Eastern Africa, DSIK has been active for more than 10 years, focusing on strengthening institutions in the microfinance sector and enhancing access to finance by building capacities on both the supply and demand sides of the financial sector.

Currently, DSIK is implementing a regional project in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).\

The SAFI Start-Up Fund is an initiative implemented by DSIK in collaboration with its partner organization, SCCULT (1992) Ltd. The project aims to support Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Societies (AMCOS) in establishing and strengthening Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOS).

The project focuses on enhancing financial inclusion, strengthening institutional and governance capacity, and promoting sustainable and viable financial services for cooperative members, particularly in agricultural value chains.

To support the implementation of the project, DSIK seeks to recruit a Junior Consultant for a period of 6 months to provide operational support for the project team.
