We demonstrate our commitment to each member of our team through a competitive benefits package designed to assist our employees to cover their needs and the needs of their immediate family members.
Job Summary
The RESADE Project funded by IFAD and BADEA is being implemented in 7 sub-Saharan countries, namely The Gambia, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leonne, Mozambique, Namibia and Botswana.
The project aims to improve the productivity of smallholder farmers in salinity-affected areas by introducing and promoting adapted climate-smart technologies and crops with high tolerance to salinity and drought.
Furthermore, the project seeks to develop value chains around salt-tolerant cropping systems and to build the capacity of farmers and extension workers in salinity-resilient and climate-smart agriculture.
The project has used best practice hubs and farmer-field schools approaches to disseminate technologies, increase awareness and to empower smallholder farmers with requisite knowledge on technologies to overcome salinity challenges and increase crop yields.
The technologies explored include use of salt-tolerant crop varieties, use of soil amendments, irrigation methods to reduce salinity through leaching, and soil and moisture conservation and management practices.
Foods and recipes based on crops tested at the BPH were also developed in a bid to create value chains of the crops.
Community-based seed production and processing units were established and strengthened through training and provision of the necessary equipment to enable them to produce good quality seed of the recommended crop and forage varieties for dissemination to farmers in the targeted and other areas.
Farmer's cooperatives were established or identified, in order to create economies of scale in production, harvesting, aggregation, processing and marketing, as well as to enhance farmers' collective bargaining power.
Purpose
The project has been running since 2019 and farmers were engaged in project activities at the BPH from the onset.
The details of the costs and the related benefits of the technologies the project has been working on, market analysis of the promoted crops and developed foods, value chain linkages, socio economic impact among others have not been studied in detail hence the need for this assignment.
