The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government.
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, affecting livelihoods, and impacting the production of estate- and food crops. Food security and rural livelihoods have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, which have raised food prices, increased production costs, and disrupted supply chains. independent smallholder farmers who cultivate estate crops in monoculture on their entire farm area, are extremely vulnerable to fluctuations in world market prices, pests and diseases, and climate change. Therefore, smallholder estate crop farmer livelihoods are economically, socially, and environmentally not sustainable.
GRASS (Greening Agricultural Smallholder Supply Chains) is a bilateral project funded by BMZ and Implemented by GIZ. The objective of GRASS is: "The livelihoods and resilience of smallholder farmers at the basis of global supply chains have improved". Implementation of activities will focus on Kapuas Hulu District in West Kalimantan province. Project results, including tested, successful approaches, concepts, and tools, will be upscaled to provincial and national levels.
GRASS builds on the achievements of SASCI (Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains in Indonesia). The project will continue to work with oil palm and rubber smallholder farmers in Kapuas Hulu district and will further expand the scope to include coffee and cocoa smallholder farmers in selected sub-districts. The work with estate crop smallholder farmers will focus on smallholder farm productivity, sustainability, diversity, and resilience, as well as access to markets, including certification and traceability. The project will promote the use of digital tools and e-learning/blended learning for capacity building of farmers and agricultural extension staff and other multipliers, for traceability in supply chains, as well as for market access, financial literacy, farmer business plans, etcetera.
Upscaling to other districts in West Kalimantan and to provincial level will take place through the provincial agency of estate crops and livestock and through synergies, collaboration, and close coordination with the Green Climate Fund project which is currently in preparation for West Kalimantan (Land-based mitigation and adaptation through a Jurisdictional Approach in West Kalimantan), while upscaling to the national level will be pursued together with the political partner, Ministry of Agriculture, Directorate General of Estate Crops.
The project comprises four main outputs: 1) The capacities to implement resilient and sustainable smallholder farming have been improved; 2) The participation of smallholder farmers in local and global supply chains has been strengthened; 3) The framework conditions for resilient and sustainable smallholder farmer livelihoods have been improved; and 4) Digital technologies, e-learning tools and other field-tested approaches to support smallholder farmers are available for provincial and national up-scaling.
To support the implementation of the projects, we seek one (1) motivated and qualified Indonesian candidate to support the team for:
