Consultancy Opportunity – Farming Practices in Mbeya at Rikolto

We’re looking for a consultant to promote sustainable farming practices in Mbeya, Songwe, and Katavi regions.

Rikolto is an international NGO with over 40 years of experience working with farmer organizations and food chain stakeholders across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. We tackle the challenge of ensuring future food systems that serve everyone without burdening our planet. We ask: “What will we eat tomorrow?”

Rikolto, in partnership with Tanzania Microfinance Practitioners (TIMAP) and Ecosystem Equity, is implementing the NATURE FUNDI project under the REDAA programme, funded by UKAID, to support 5,000 smallholder farmers in the Mbeya, Songwe, and Katavi regions. The project focuses on sustainable farming practices for crops like rice, cocoa, coffee, vegetables, and fruits, to promote environmental conservation.

We are looking for a consultant to support the project by conducting surveys, training trainers (ToTs), facilitating sustainable farming practices, and establishing demonstration trials. This initiative aims to enhance sustainable agriculture and improve farmers’ livelihoods.
