DECDI’s Planet Impact Lab (DECPL) is recruiting a Field Coordinator consultant based in Uganda to support an innovative World Bank initiative at the intersection of artificial intelligence and agriculture. As part of our research team, you will contribute to the development and field implementation of an AI-powered advisory tool designed to help smallholder coffee farmers adopt climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices and improve productivity. The tool will provide localized, conversational guidance in Luganda and other widely spoken Ugandan languages, complementing and strengthening existing extension services.
The Field Coordinator (FC) will support the design, testing, and field implementation of SurveyCTO instruments and the AI tool, coordinate field logistics, support translation and enumerator readiness, and assist with mission preparation and implementation. The FC will act as the primary liaison between the research team and key field partners—including the World Bank Uganda Country Office and the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries—ensuring high-quality data collection and facilitating smooth and effective field operations.
Candidate must:
- be based in Uganda and speak Luganda fluently;
- be willing to frequently travel to the field;
- have experience with field coordination of data collection projects;
- have experience with RCTs;
- have experience with SurveyCTO/ODK and Stata/R
