Environmental Compliance Specialist

Background

The USAID Agriculture and Rural Development Support Project, hereinafter ARDS or the ARDS project, is implemented through a five-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee completion type task order funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). ARDS builds on USAID’s previous projects in Ukraine and lessons learned by USAID/Ukraine, Ukrainian partners, and other donors. ARDS is implemented by Chemonics International, Inc. and began on September 7, 2016 with a contract ceiling of $20,597,270.

ARDS helps create a better governed agriculture sector that provides attractive livelihoods in rural areas of Ukraine. The project works both at the national and regional level, with a special focus on rural development in southern and eastern Ukraine. ARDS embraces the collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) framework promoted by USAID. Across all tasks of the contract, ARDS works with government institutions, private sector entities, and other partners in planning, monitoring, mapping outcomes, and thereafter scaling up what works and/or adapting by redesigning strategies and tactics employed to implement tasks. The ARDS contract contains three components. To better explain the approach, organize staff, implement tasks, and report on results, the work plan tasks under components two and three were consolidated under one area. As a result, the two areas of focus for ARDS are the enabling environment and markets, with a focus on rural development.
