Resumo: The hosting is a Belgian based international NGO with more than 40 years of experience in partnering with farmer organisations and food chain actors across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. We enable and support smallholder farmers to take up their role in rural poverty alleviation and to contribute to feeding a growing world population in a sustainable way.

Our aim is to enable organisations of smallholder family farmers to successfully participate within sustainable food chains. We invest in the capacities of these organisations and their members to become strong collective business organisations, while linking up these organisations with other chains actors like processors, traders, retailers, consumers… We also invest in connecting these farmer organisations with higher level farmer organisations and support these in their advocacy work towards governments and private actors to create an institutional environment that strengthens the position of smallholder family farmers within sustainable agricultural chains.

The organization runs its programmes in 14 countries worldwide through eight regional offices in Africa, Asia and Latin-America. In our office in Leuven (Belgium) about 45 staff are working full time or part time.
We actively invest in working with young people in our organisation. This is a way to bring creativity, up-to-date knowledge and tools into the organisation. The organization wants to give young people a firm and clear place in the organisation. So far we:
- work with a network of 300 volunteers in Belgium throughout the year
- annually offer at least 3 internships in different departments at our head office in Belgium
- closely work with the KHLeuven and other higher education schools to offer at least 6 internships abroad per year
- and we are actively involved in the junior program of BTC (Belgian Technical Cooperation, the bilateral development aid institution in Belgium)

We have a strong focus on networks in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Belgium. European Solidarity Corps gives us the chance to also bring in a European link. As a Host Organisation we hope we can offer interesting learning opportunities for young people from all over Europe and give them a chance to get to know the reality of development cooperation.

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 the core tasks are related to our website and international publications, knowledge of English is important. As we are working in the field of sustainable agriculture and food, the volunteer has to be passionate about these themes.
Level of language skills: excellent knowledge of English
Age: 18-30

Tarefas: The organization supports farmers and their organisations in various product chains (rice, cocoa, vegetables…). In 2016 we assessed the impact of our programmes, to check whether our interventions have the desired effect (did farmers’ livelihoods really improve? became their organisations stronger?), and to learn where we failed and need to adapt our approach. We’d like to translate these insights in different summary documents and print publications. The volunteer can play an active role in developing these publications, thus he/she will also get a good view of what development projects are about. We count on the volunteers eagerness, good knowledge of English, creativity and editorial skills to make these publications.

The orgaization is always looking for funds to execute its programmes. Our fundraising colleagues would like to work with an volunteer to search for new funding opportunities (via international foundations, networks,…). Based on existing concept notes for new programmes and discussions with colleagues worldwide, the volunteer can help us to screen possible new donors.
Apart from these three main tasks, we can also involve the volunteer in other activities, like fundraising events, or preparing presentations at head office, according to his/her talents and interest, so that she/he really becomes a member of the family.

The organization will provide the necessary support and -if needed- additional training to make sure that the volunteer can perform thes tasks well.
A regular workweek is approx. 35 hours from Monday to Friday.
A workweek of the volunteer will consist of a combination of tasks
 make different attractive communication materials based on our impact evaluations (text, infographics, creative presentations…): 35%
 prospecting new donors: 35%
 send out newsletters: 5 %
 translation and editing of texts for website: 20%
 other support activities: 5%

Occasionally, the volunteer will need to work evenings or weekends (e.g. certain fundraising events).
The volunteer will get 2 days off each month. The volunteer needs to inform the project about the exact dates that he/she would like to take off. He/she should also take in account the dates of special activities of the project.
