Project background
BRIDGE+ is a five-year program (from November 2023 to December 2028) implemented by a consortium of partners composed of SNV Netherlands Development Organization (lead) and Wageningen University (WUR and Agriterra, with financial support from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN).
The overall objective of the BRIDGE+ program is to contribute to a functioning dairy Value Chain that creates inclusive and sustainable benefits for all its participants, including wider society, with a particular focus on smallholder farmers within the mixed farming system. To attain this objective, the project will operate at three levels: (1) smallholder farmers: increase benefits from dairy farming; (2) dairy value chain: improving functioning and food safety; and (3) at sector level: strengthening institutional structure.
Purpose of the job
The Regional Dairy Adviser works directly under the guidance and management of the Regional Manager and is based in the regional office. As the Regional Adviser will be working under the direct supervision of and be assigned duties by the Regional Manager, this is more of a learning position for either a staff member, keen to make a next career move, or somebody new to the project approaches.
The purpose of the position is to act as a link between the national level and the milkshed level. It will mainly focus on two roles. On the one hand, implementation at the milk shed level will be monitored, both in terms of quantity (are project targets met?) and quality (are interventions aligned with strategy?). The results of the monitoring will be shared with national advisers and project management. The second role is supporting implementation at milk shed level, either in the form of participating in targeted campaigns or through coaching and supporting regional-level partners in implementation.
