Resumo: Our aim is to enable organizations of smallholder family farmers to successfully participate within sustainable value chains. We invest in the capabilities of these organizations and their members to become strong collective business organizations, while linking up these organizations with other chains actors like processors, traders, retailers, consumers… We also invest in connecting these farmer organizations with higher level farmer organizations and support these in their advocacy work towards governments and private actors to create an institutional environment that enables the position of smallholder family farmers within sustainable agricultural chains. Through 8 regional Offices we support chain development programmes in Africa, Asia and Latin-America.

Perfil: For the organization it’s important that the volunteer first of all has affinity with the mission and values of the organisation, acts with integrity, respects others, is willing to learn and integrate in the team. We expect a creative person who is interested in communication. As one of the tasks would be related to our website, a good knowledge of English is important. As we are working in the field of sustainable agriculture and food, the volunteer has to be passionated about these themes.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: The organization supports farmers and their organizations in various product chains. We set up projects in close collaboration with other stakeholders. During various evaluation and reflection phases, we try to document our activities and insights, and make publications (print, but also video’s or creative presentations) as a learning exercise. The volunteer can play an active role in this, thus getting a good view of what development projects are about. We count on the volunteers eagerness, creativity and editorial skills to make at least one good case study.

Could use some help in updating it regularily and send out newsletters. For this, the volunteer will work with staff of the communication team and sometime communication officers worldwide.

Apart from these two main tasks, we will also involve the volunteer in other activities, like fundraising events, an “open house” day, or preparing presentations at head office, so that she/he really becomes a member of the family.

The volunteer is expected to work out 1 specific case study. The topic will be determined in agreement between the volunteer and the organization. The organization will provide the necessary support and possibly additional training to make sure that the volunteer can perform this task well.

Working hours during a normal day:
A regular workweek is 34,5 hours from Monday to Friday. Monday 9 – 17.00 and Tuesday to Friday 9 – 14.00, with half an hour lunch break. Occasionally, the volunteer will need to work evenings or weekends (eg “open house “day on Saturday).
