Dear All,
Please find
below open position.
We are
trying to find the best possible candidates to make team stronger.
POWER Program
PROGRAM
SUMMARY:
Indonesia’s agriculture sector poses a number
of unique opportunities to positively impact livelihoods and quality of life in
the country, particularly for smallholder farmers whose lives are so linked to
the land. Given such large household numbers within the sector, rice farmers
maintain a significant role in agricultural development in Indonesia. However,
despite their large share of revenue-generation for the country, rice farmer
households often reside in sub-standard living conditions and farmer household
income remains low.
Mercy Corps sees an opportunity to increase Indonesian farming
families’ incomes and improve their lives. Through targeted and well planned
programs, Mercy Corps is working to impact farm household incomes by increasing
their access to agricultural inputs including improved seeds, fertilizers,
financial services, and modern tools and equipment.
In this
context, Mercy Corps invites John Deere Foundation to partner with us on the proposed
program, Promoting Organizations that Work to Empower Rice Farmers (POWER), to
assist rice Farmer Groups and rice Farmer Group Unions to improve the lives of
smallholder rice farmers and empower communities with fundamental ties to the
land on which they live and work
