il y a 4 semaines
The Seed Equal Initiative's work package 7 (WP 7) is a one-year endeavor that focuses on building effective and inclusive value chains, resilience, and school feeding programs in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP). WP 7 engages with WFP to strengthen their resilience programming in land restoration and other projects where input markets and access to seed are critical to success. Additionally, it aims to introduce more nutrient-dense and biofortified crops into school feeding programs and other initiatives supported by WFP. This involves helping countries access biofortified varieties and quality seed to supply local farmers, school gardens, and school feeding programs with crops such as orange-fleshed sweetpotato, high iron beans, and vitamin A (orange) maize.
The consultant will assist with the implementation of activities within Uganda, specifically in the southwest region. The primary objectives include:
- Following up to identify the source of vines given to farmers through Ripple Effect, a corporate partner of WFP in southwest Uganda.
- Identifying farmers from both refugee settlements and host communities to host demonstration plots.
- Assisting with agronomic trainings on demo plots in Kyaka II, Kyangwari, and Isingiro refugee settlements.
- Identifying CSP needs and training at least one vine multiplier or persons of concern (PoC)/refugees group in refugee settlements for the supply of clean vine seed.
- Assisting with a two-day workshop/experience sharing on nutrition with CIP, WFP, and partner nutrition experts.
- Assisting with nutrition trainings among PoC groups in collaboration with WFP and its partners.
- A report on agronomic trainings in refugee (Persons of Concern/PoC) settlements linked to WFP-Southwest Area Office (WFP-SWAO) and host communities.
- A report on nutrition and post-harvest trainings in refugee (Persons of Concern/PoC) settlements linked to WFP-Southwest Area Office (WFP-SWAO) and host communities.
