**Supervisor**: Senior Communications Specialist

**Application deadline: Jan 10th, 2025**

**Position type**:Full-time

Farm Radio International is a Canadian organization that has been working since 1979 to harness the power of radio to meet the needs of rural people across Africa. We work with more than 1,300 radio organizations located in more than 38 African countries to fight poverty and food insecurity using interactive radio. With the benefit of FRI resources and training, our broadcasting partners deliver practical, relevant, and timely information to tens of millions of rural Africans, including women. We also work with a range of funding partners to implement radio projects that address specific development challenges and community needs delivering results for rural communities.

We think our work is exciting and we’re looking for someone to help us communicate what it is we do, and who looks forward to getting other people involved in our work. The Communications Coordinator role will help tell Farm Radio’s story and the stories of the people we work with and for. This role is for you if you are a communicator and a story-teller at heart. We’re looking for someone who is a strong writer, who is detail-oriented, who will think creatively about how to tell Farm Radio’s story and who has a keen eye for a good story — or even someone who has a strong opinion about the uses of em-dashes and Oxford commas.
