The global program “Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains” is part of the special initiative “ONE WORLD – No Hunger” (SEWOH). On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the program promotes the sustainability of select-ed agricultural supply chains in partner countries.
To address sustainability challenges in agricultural supply chains, the program implements the project “Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains in Indonesia” (SASCI+). 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+ follows a jurisdictional approach to align relevant stakeholders on shared objectives for sustainable pro-duction as a means for long-term market access and security of supply.
SASCI+ is implemented together with the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, as the political partner of the project. The project furthermore cooperates with provincial and district governments in the targeted biosphere reserves, as well as stakeholders from civil society, research, and the private sector involved in sustainable agricultural supply chains. The project works closely with two bilateral GIZ projects active in the same target area.
To support the implementation of the project in Kapuas Hulu, GIZ GmbH is seeking a qualified Indonesian candidate for the position as:
