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.
The Greening Agricultural Smallholder Supply Chains (GRASS) project, which is a follow-on project to the previous "Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains in Indonesia" and builds on the results and experience gained through this project, will be implemented by GIZ in collaboration with its main government partner, the Directorate General of Estate Crops of the Ministry of Agriculture. The project aims to "improve the resilience of smallholder farmers at the basis of global supply chains," and will target independent estate crop smallholder farmers in Kapuas Hulu district, West Kalimantan (focus on rubber, oil palm, cocoa, and coffee). The project will develop and/or test, and implement digital and other approaches, tools and procedures supporting sustainable, resilient, and climate-smart smallholder agriculture in selected sub-districts in Kapuas Hulu. Successfully tested approaches, tools and procedures will be promoted proactively and made available for up-scaling at the provincial (West Kalimantan) and national levels, in cooperation with other projects and development partners. The GRASS project contributes to the overall BMZ "Forest and Climate Protection" programme in Indonesia, by reducing deforestation for agricultural land by the targeted smallholder farmers.
The project objective shall be achieved through the production of 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) Government agencies at provincial and local levels have been sensitized on the requirements of resilient and deforestation-free supply chains; 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 increase the resilience of estate crop smallholder farmers to negative external impacts, e.g., from global market price fluctuations or from impacts of climate change, the project will advise, and strengthen the capacity of, the targeted smallholder farmers in aspects of sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices, including integrated farming, intercropping/agroforestry, permaculture, and regenerative farming. Agricultural extension staff from the government, civil society, and private sector will be targeted to include the aspects of resilience and sustainability in their support to smallholder estate crop farmers. The project approach will include the use of field-tested e-learning and blended learning formats for sustainable, resilient, and climate-smart smallholder agriculture, and will actively promote successful concepts and approaches at the provincial and national levels.
To support the implementation of the projects, we seek one (1) motivated and qualified Indonesian candidate to support the team for:
