Description
Less than 31 years and want to give meaning to your talent ?
The Junior Programme aims to contribute to the development of a new generation of young people who, following their experience as a Junior Expert, will commit to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). During their field experience, the focus is on developing competences, innovation, contact with the local reality and networking. The Junior Experts work at least 1 and at most 2 years in a project of Enabel or of one of the belgian Non-governmental Actors (NGA) that are affiliated to the Junior Programme.
We are looking for a Junior Expert Food Smart Cities for NGO Rikolto in Tanzania.
Rikolto is executing a 4-year program (2020-2024) for the European Union aimed at increasing the competitiveness and profitability of the horticulture sector in Southern-Tanzania. The objective of the project is to contribute to inclusive growth, promote private sector development and job creation in the agricultural sector, and to increase food and nutrition security in Tanzania. The project will aim at strengthening sector governance through platforms and will start by piloting a regionally-oriented platform focusing on the food smarty city cluster around Mbeya. The Food Smart City platform Mbeya is focusing on domestic markets of safe and sustainable horticulture products for the +/- 1 million urban citizens around Mbeya. This platform will build on Rikolto’s experience in building food smart city platforms in 8 cities in the world, amongst others in Arusha.
This Junior Expert will support the Mbeya chamber of commerce in setting-up a structural multi-stakeholder platform that reunites all actors (government, companies, NGO and academic partners) to develop a local food strategy. This will increase food safety in fruits and vegetables, leading to better market opportunities for the farmers and healthier and high-nutritious diets for the people in and around Mbeya. In the second year of the action, the FSC advisor will support actors in other cities in Southern Tanzania to scale up and establish a similar platform.
The Junior Expert will also support Rikolto’s staff in the execution of market actions that aim to increase the consumption of highly-nutritious food by strengthening women and youth’s participation in sustainable nutritional sensitive horticulture value chains in the region.
