TechnoServe was founded by Ed Bullard in 1968 to help hardworking people in the developing world lift themselves, their families, and their communities out of poverty. Ed was captivated by the spirit and character of the Ghanaian people. But he was appalled by the depth of poverty that surrounded him. A businessman, Ed understood that the contrast between this poverty and his own prosperity came not from any innate difference between himself and a poor Ghanaian farmer.

The TechnoServe has published a job vacancy announcement on January 26, 2024 for qualified Uganda’s to fill in the vacant post of Microenterprise Specialist to be based in Kampala, Uganda.
