The goal of RCRA is to stimulate a sustainable and inclusive recovery from the regional crisis brought on by the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine and accelerate an inclusive, climate-resilient economic development of rural Moldova by protecting the development gains made with USAID support over the past decade and further stimulate the competitiveness of key economic sectors, including the wine industry, high-value agriculture, and tourism. 

Moldova RCRA is implemented by USAID contractor Chemonics International Inc. (www.chemonics.com), a U.S.-based international consulting firm providing expertise in developing and emerging-market countries since 1975.

• Support in implementing our communication strategy,
• Craft engaging content (success stories, case studies, social media posts) in Romanian, Russian, and English,
• Design and manage visual content to amplify our message,
• Coordinate the organization of public events,
• Manage vendors and stakeholder engagements,
• Foster dynamic and transparent communication with partners, beneficiaries, and the public,
• Develop various project reports,
• Navigate media relations and monitoring and keep on the sector trends.

 Who We're Looking For:

• Individuals with some hands-on experience in communications, journalism, PR, marketing, or a related field. More importantly, those who have a strong desire to expand skills and knowledge in these areas, especially if your experience includes work on international or donor-funded projects.
