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" and the Global "Fund to Promote Innovations in Agriculture and Nutrition" (i4Ag) are 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 programs promote sustainability of selected agricultural supply chains in partner countries.
To address sustainability challenges in agricultural supply chains the programs implement the project "Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains" (SASCI+) and "Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems" (SAFE) in Indonesia. SASCI+ focuses on natural rubber, palm oil, cocoa and coffee in two biosphere reserves in West Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi. 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+ is implemented together with the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, the political partner of the project.
SAFE supports relevant stakeholders to address agricultural drivers for deforestation in West Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi. The aim is to improve the protection of forest ecosystems while supporting local communities in accessing markets and increasing their incomes. SAFE is implemented with the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) as the political partner from the In-donesian Government.
Both projects are implemented in West Kalimantan and cooperate closely with the related provincial agencies as well as stakeholders from civil society, research and the private sector involved in sustainable agricultural supply chains.
GIZ is recruiting one position to lead the SASCI+ team in West Kalimantan and coordinate activities of the SAFE project in the province:
