About the Client
About BRAC International
Stitching BRAC International (BRAC International) is a leading nonprofit organisation with a mission to empower people and communities in situations of poverty, illiteracy, disease, and social injustice, and currently operates in 10 countries across Africa and Asia. BRAC International’s proven, practical solutions spark enterprise and lasting change. We equip people with the tools, opportunity, and skills to lift themselves out of poverty and reach their potential.
Our Approach
We function as a solution ecosystem using an integrated model of social and economic development, social enterprise, and humanitarian response, in partnership with communities and other local stakeholders. In Uganda, BRAC International implements these solutions through three separate but complementary entities: 1) social enterprise activities through BRAC Social Enterprises Uganda Ltd., 2) social development programs through our NGO, BRAC Uganda, and 3) microfinance and inclusive financial services through BRAC Uganda Bank Ltd.
BRAC Social Enterprise Uganda limited (BSBE)
BRAC Social Enterprises (BSBE) Uganda Limited was established in 2010 as a not-for-profit venture to produce and distribute quality seeds, planting and stock material to vulnerable communities. In 2014, it transitioned to a fully-fledged commercial enterprise and expanded its services to field crop seeds research and certified seed processing, packaging, sales, marketing and distribution. In support of its social objective to improve employment opportunities, promote good agronomic behaviours and increase income among vulnerable communities, BSBE works with smallholder farmers as contract growers (about 45% are women and youth) to produce and multiply quality seeds.
Seeds purchased from contract growers are then processed and packaged at BSBE’s seed processing plant, before distribution through a hybrid network of agro-dealers and other partners. BSBE operates under BRAC International Enterprises B.V., a fully owned subsidiary of Stichting BRAC International. BIEBV is a socially responsible for-profit organisation dedicated to scaling impactful and sustainable social enterprises that contribute to BRAC International’s social mission while generating profits that further support scale and impact. While BSBE is a separately registered for-profit company in Uganda, it originally grew out of BRAC International’s NGO in Uganda and BSBE continues to work closely with the NGO.
Job Summary
As the Accountant for BSBE, you will play a crucial role in managing financial activities within the designated area. Working closely with the enterprise General Manager, you will ensure compliance with accounting principles, procedures, and regulations. Your responsibilities will include providing financial support, managing budgets, and analyzing financial data to contribute to the financial stability and growth of the enterprise.
WE WISH YOU GOOD LUCK
