Announcement Positions

National Intern for BRIC

Announcement Description

The Better Rice Initiative Cambodia (BRIC), implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Council for Agriculture and Rural Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to promotes sustainable and climate-smart rice production in Cambodia. The project focuses on improving resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthening market linkages for rice value chains.

One of the key technical approaches promoted under the project is Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), a water-saving irrigation technique that helps farmers reduce water use, lower production costs, and mitigate methane emissions while maintaining yields.

To support the implementation of field activities, coordination with Agricultural Cooperatives (ACs), and monitoring of AWD demonstration farms, the project seeks to recruit a qualified intern for a period of six (6) months.
