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 global program "Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains" is part of the special initiative "Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems". On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the program promotes the sustainability of selected agricultural supply chains in partner countries.
Agricultural commodities like coffee, cocoa, natural rubber, palm oil, or soybean play an important role in rural development in many developing and emerging countries - where they form the basis for the life of millions of households. However, their production and processing are accompanied by numerous ecological, economic, and social challenges. Coffee, cocoa, palm oil, and soybean are often perceived as drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.
To address these challenges the program implements the project "Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains in Indonesia" (SASCI+). SASCI+ focuses on the natural rubber, palm oil, cocoa and coffee in in selected provinces of Indonesia. By increasing the sustainable production of agricultural commodities and strengthening downstream processing and market linkages, the project aims to increase the farmers' incomes, safeguard natural resources and establish deforestation free supply chains. SASCI+ follows a jurisdictional approach to align relevant stakeholders on shared objectives for sustainable land use and production, as a means for long-term market access and security of supply.
SASCI+ is implemented together with the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, the political partner of the project. The project furthermore cooperates with regional and district governments in the targeted provinces as districts, as well as stakeholders from civil society, research and the private sector involved in sustainable agricultural supply chains.
To support the project in making international concepts on sustainable agricultural supply chains work in the Indonesian and local context, we seek one (1) motivated and qualified Indonesian candidate for:
