Agri-Impact Malawi (AIM), established in 2018, is a hybrid institution working to transform livelihoods by creating income opportunities through inclusive markets, trade, and financial access. We believe farming should go beyond survival to become a pathway to dignity, income, nutrition, and resilience for rural households in Malawi.

Our approach is market-driven and market-responsive, we start with demand and work backward to equip farmers with climate-resilient seeds, practical knowledge, and enabling systems that align with real market opportunities. By strengthening value chain participation and access to finance, we enable smallholder farmers to transition into productive, resilient, and market-oriented enterprises capable of sustaining long-term growth.

To strengthen financial management, grant compliance, and resource mobilization efforts, AIM seeks to recruit a highly motivated and detail-oriented Finance and Grants Assistant.
