Subsidies & Incentives Expert – Al Nahiya Group

We are seeking a Subsidies & Incentives Expert to lead end-to-end reform of agricultural subsidy frameworks — designing smarter targeting mechanisms, closing leakage gaps, and ensuring every dirham of public investment delivers measurable results for farmers and the sector.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

Diagnosis & Design

•    Map the existing subsidy landscape: eligibility criteria, spend patterns, leakage risks, and incentive distortions

•    Segment beneficiaries by farm type, size, crop/livestock system, geography, and vulnerability

•    Design alternative subsidy models including targeted input subsidies, outcome-linked incentives, and capital grant/co-investment schemes

•    Develop fiscal scenarios and trade-off analyses to support government decision-making

Targeting, Eligibility & Controls

•    Define eligibility rules, verification methods, and audit trails — including registry integration, land/farm ID, and production evidence

•    Design leakage prevention controls: claims validation, supplier vetting, and anomaly detection

•    Develop compliance mechanisms and cost-benefit scenarios for ongoing subsidy applicability review

Implementation Architecture

•    Translate design into an executable implementation plan covering policy drafts, operating procedures, system requirements, and vendor changes

•    Collaborate with digital/data teams on farmer registry integration, e-voucher disbursement logic, and case management workflows

•    Support procurement packages for system integrators, payment rails, and verification services

Monitoring & Impact Evaluation

•    Define impact evaluation frameworks: logic models, baselines, measurement methods, and quasi-experimental design options

•    Establish a benefits-tracking discipline within the TMO — including impact reporting cadence and auditability

Stakeholder Management

•    Coordinate with finance, treasury, audit, regulators, farmer associations, suppliers, and service providers

•    Develop communication materials to support adoption and manage political-economic risks
