Save the Children is seeking the following positions for an anticipated five-year USDA-funded Food for Progress (FFPr) program in Nepal. The Food for Progress program helps developing countries and emerging democracies modernize and strengthen their agricultural sectors. This project is expected to build the capacity of work with the federal, provincial, and local levels of the Government of Nepal (GoN) to support efficient aquaculture standards and practices throughout the value chain.
Through the Food for Progress (FFPr) program, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will continue its work in food security by assisting farmers to increase their income through diversification, stronger market linkages, and adoption of exceptional agricultural practices. The overall goal is to address food security through improvements in the aquaculture value chain by 1) incorporating climate-smart technologies, 2) improving end market linkages and income for farmers, 3) increasing access to finance for farmers to expand trade of agricultural products, and 4) strengthen the public and private sector.
These positions are contingent upon donor approval and funding.
