Nigeria Government Relations & Partnerships Lead

<h3>About One Acre Fund</h3> <p>Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips 5.5 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive. Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa's farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services. On average, this model enables any farmer to increase their income and assets on supported land by more than 35 percent, while permanently improving their resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 9,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions.&nbsp;To learn more, please see our&nbsp;<a href="https://oneacrefund.org/careers/why-work-here" target="_blank">Why Work Here</a> blog post.</p> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The Nigeria program, established in 2018, is headquartered in Minna, Niger state.
