•    Map stakeholder groups across leadership, regulators, extension services, inspectors, finance/admin staff, farmers, and private sector partners

•    Identify adoption risks and develop tailored mitigation plans per initiative and workstream

Change Design for Priority Programs

Communications & Stakeholder Engagement

•    Build a multi-channel communication plan covering executive communications, internal adoption campaigns, and external outreach to farmers, suppliers, and associations

•    Develop structured materials: playbooks, briefing packs, and field guides

Capability Building & Institutionalization

•    Establish a capability framework aligned to the new operating model: training curricula, train-the-trainer programs, communities of practice, and digital super-user networks

•    Define reinforcement mechanisms: leadership routines, performance dialogues, and continuous improvement loops

Change Measurement

•    Establish adoption indicators and readiness assessments: training completion, process compliance checks, system usage patterns, and field feedback loops

Conduct structured feedback collection and feed insights into iterative improvement cycles with workstream leads

Skills

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

•    10+ years in change management for large-scale public sector or regulated-sector transformations
