Requirement for a full-timer at AID-Hyderabad chapter

About AID Hyderabad:

The Hyderabad chapter of Assoc. for India’s Development (AID) was started in the year 2005. Since then, it has worked on issues of education, agriculture, human rights and so on. This includes Hyderabad-based work as well as initiating or supporting field work in different districts like Kurnool, Anantapur, Khammam & Srikakulam. In the past 5 years, the main focus area has been issues of food, farmers and agriculture – such as farmer suicides, changing agricultural policies, awareness about healthy, organic food and millets, campaigning against Genetically Modified foods, and promoting sustainable agriculture. The range of work varies from working with farmers in the grass roots to doing policy advocacy on various issues of agriculture.

Requirement for a full-timer:

AID Hyderabad is looking for a full-timer who will (a) assist in the work on the issues of food, farmers and agriculture and, (b) assist in running the organization. Since AID has a holistic perspective, AID Hyderabad does get involved in different areas such as human rights, displacement, education, etc apart from agriculture, so there will be occasions to work on other interests but at this point, food & agriculture issues form the key focus area.

 

What we are looking for in the candidate:

Commitment and Initiative:

·         Should be ready to travel (two to five out-of-town trips in a month).

·         Should be ready to take up a variety of tasks required for building the organization.

Interests: Preferably very interested in issues related to farmers and agriculture, political advocacy and rights-based work.

Experience: Preferably at least one year of experience of working with NGOs, Peoples movements or media, and more preferably in the area of agriculture & farmers’ issues

Languages & Writing Skills: English, Telugu – speaking, reading and writing well. Minimum: Ability to draft letters, summarize discussions, meeting minutes, read media articles, identify relevant articles and gather information on a particular issue.

Desirable: Ability to draft a press release, write short articles, translate articles or documents (English to Telugu or Telugu to English.

Communication and Interpersonal skills: Meeting and interacting with different people, ability to work collaboratively with several people including AID volunteers and people from other organizations.

Computer Skills: Ability to work with word processing and spreadsheets (like MS Word and MS Excel). Preferably ability to do calculations and data processing in Excel.

 

Compensation:

Rs.10000 – 15000, depending on the capability of the candidate, with some additional budget for travel and communication.
