  www.worldvision.com.au/seedWorld Vision Australia’s SEED Unit is a technical support team for economic development to the World Vision partnership. SEED is World Vision International’s Global Centre of Excellence and includes six economic development consultants. My role includes supervising our small team of three specialists (2 direct reports) for our Inclusive Market Systems Development portfolio, responsible for overall technical oversight in all programs. The portfolio includes mixed methods programming towards building resilience through systems thinking and market actor engagement, integrated with traditional Value Chain and community development approaches. Programming focus areas include intentionality around Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE), Financial Inclusion and Climate Smart agri-food systems. The programs under management, which span 15 countries and total over US$50m in budget allocation, are funded by a blend of competitive grants from bilateral and multilateral donors, private funding and partnerships in commercial development contracts.
