1.                    About SNV

SNV is a mission-driven global development partner working in more than 20 countries across Africa and Asia. Building on 60 years of experience and grounded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we work on the core themes of gender equality and social inclusion, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance. Together with our team of over 1,600 people, our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.

 

2.                    Background and objectives of assignment

The Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystem (SAFE) project is a joint agenda between the Directorate of Food and Agriculture-Bappenas and GIZ. The project is supported by funding from the German Federal Government and the European Union. The main objective of the SAFE project is to contribute to the "inclusive transition of agricultural commodity production towards sustainable supply chains, for Indonesian smallholders"

 

In the implementation of the SAFE project in Central Sulawesi, GIZ has signed a collaboration with a consortium consisting of SNV, GCB and Mondelez which will implement the project in the Sigi area which they call SCORES (Sustainable Cocoa for Forest Ecosystems). The project aims to produce cocoa sustainably while preserving the ecosystem in adjacent rainforest areas. It will enable cocoa buyers to source from traceable and more reliable (deforestation-free) producing areas, securing their access to the EU market. Smallholder cocoa farmers will receive higher and diversified incomes from cocoa agroforestry, including incentives for protecting tree coverage in cocoa-forest conjunction areas, reforestation, and other environmental risk mitigation actions. Higher income will convince them to stay in cocoa production in the long run.

 

Smallholder cacao farming landscapes are increasingly exposed to hydrometeorological disasters, particularly floods and landslides, due to changing rainfall patterns, land-use pressure, and environmental degradation. These hazards pose serious risks to farmer livelihoods by damaging crops, eroding soil, disrupting farm infrastructure, and reducing overall land productivity. Repeated disaster events can trap smallholder farmers in cycles of loss and recovery, weakening their adaptive capacity and increasing vulnerability, while also accelerating ecosystem degradation such as sedimentation, loss of soil fertility, and declining biodiversity.

 

Integrating disaster risk considerations into cacao agroforestry systems is therefore essential to promote resilient and sustainable land management. Land conservation including agroforestry practices through soil intact approach, diverse shade trees, improving ground cover, and strengthening root systems can reduce surface runoff, stabilize slopes, and enhance water regulation at the landscape level. By explicitly incorporating disaster risk reduction measures into cacao agroforestry design and management, farmers can better protect their farms from extreme events while simultaneously improving ecological functions, sustaining yields, and supporting long-term adaptation to climate variability.

 

Therefore, the objective of this consultancy is to provide a rapid, spatially informed assessment of disaster risks affecting smallholder cacao farmland and to formulate practical agroforestry-based recommendations for disaster risk reduction that can inform project planning and implementation. 

 

3.                    Scope of Work, Tasks, Deliverables and Timeline

The consultant will be responsible for delivering the full scope of work of rapid disaster risk assessment on smallholder cacao farmland, with specific deliverables and timeline as follow:

 

Scope of work	Tasks	Deliverables	Timeline
Inception and methodology report	Review relevant project documents and available secondary data. Define assessment scope, indicators, data sources, and analytical methods appropriate for a rapid assessment. Prepare a brief workplan and timeline.	Inception report contained at least indicators, data sources, methodology and workplan.	Week 2 – February 2026
Data collection and compilation	Compile and preprocess available spatial and non-spatial data, including but not limited to rainfall, topography, land use/land cover, soil and geology, and historical disaster data. Compile spatial data on the distribution of smallholder cacao farmland using existing maps and/or satellite imagery. Conduct limited field verification or remote validation where feasible	Spatial and non-spatial outputs, including disaster maps (flood and landslides), cacao farmland intervention maps, and verification based-data	Week 4 – February 2026
Disaster risk analysis	Identify key drivers of flood and landslide risks affecting cacao farmland in the project areas. Assess land criticality based on slope, erosion risk, land cover, and land management. Overlay smallholder cacao farmland with disaster-prone and critical land areas. Conduct GIS-based analysis to assess flood and landslide vulnerability. Identify and classify priority areas for intervention. Validate findings and conduct a further analysis using historical disaster occurrence data.	Overview of methods, its limitations, and possible influence for the outputs Disaster risk assessment for smallholder’s cacao farmland in the project area Intervention areas’ assessment	Week 2 – March 2026
Disaster risk mitigation and adaptation options	Identify risk mitigation and adaptation options. Identify suitable soil and land conservation techniques under local circumstances such as agroclimatic and slope conditions. Develop practical design options for soil and land conservation that could reduce flood and landslide risks in the project area. Provide indicative land conservation recommendation including planting management (agroforestry).	Recommendation on land conservation, including technical and indicative planting plan (agroforestry)   Brief on risk mitigation and risk adaptation Draft Community Action Plan incorporating Natural Resource Management for Disaster Risk Reduction in Plantation Areas	Week 3/4 –March 2026
Reporting and finalization	Interpret results and formulate clear, actionable recommendations. Present findings to the project team. Finalize report including spatial outputs incorporating feedback.	Full reporting Summary presentation of key findings and recommendations	Week 1 -  April 2026
