Junior Intervention Officer

Announcement Description

We are a leading organisation for the implementation of international development projects. We promote inclusive economic, social and ecological development to make an effective contribution towards sustainable and widespread prosperity in developing and emerging economies.

In Cambodia, Swisscontact carries out the Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture (ISA), which is financed by the Happel Foundation, the Marcuard Family Office, among other donors, and is part of the Swisscontact Development Programme, which is co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA. In line with the aspirations of the Royal Government of Cambodia, ISA will work to make the Cambodian agriculture sector move towards sustainable intensification. The project will support existing public and private institutions to provide appropriate sustainable technologies and techniques to smallholder farmers. It will do so by piloting new business models in extension and other services. The project will work closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and its various Departments, Universities, and the private sector.  

To support us in the project activities we are looking for a motivated individual to fill the position of Junior Intervention Officer role. S/he will be responsible for supporting Intervention Area Lead in implementing activities mainly under Intervention Area 2, which focuses on promoting agricultural extension services to smallholder farmers. One of the key elements is piloting a model that helps improve this existing Agricultural Technology Park through engaging with various private companies, working closely with partners in the field to drive activities, and developing services that could be expanded at the Agricultural Technology Park. Besides this, it is also expected that S/he will support the Intervention Area Lead in other interventions.

We are looking for qualified candidate to fill for the position below:
