SNV

Company Description

SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization with long-term,
local presence in more than 30 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and
Latin America. Our team of local and international advisors work with local
partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the tools,
knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access
to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide
their own development across three sectors: Agriculture, Renewable Energy and
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).

2.0 About the project

The INCREASE project (Increased Climate Resilience in Energy & Agriculture
Systems and Entrepreneurship) has evolved from both lessons learned and
achievements in two earlier Sida-funded projects on climate smart agriculture
and renewable energy (biogas).

Sustainable Integrated Land Management Solutions (SILMS) was essentially
tasked to promote climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in districts of
Eastern Province targeting over 20,000 smallholder farmers. Energy for
Agriculture (E4A) focussed on securing household energy for cooking and
fertiliser needs targeting to install 4575 biodigesters. These two projects
under SNV, have individually offered convincing evidence of the various
aspects that contribute to resilience. Bringing the achievements of the
projects together will expedite the foundations for sustainable farming and
value chains. Biogas and bioslurry are more relevant than ever for
diversification of sustainable energy options and conservation type farming.
They have enormous growth potential in Zambia as hydro-carbons are being
phased out, alternatives to wood fuel become more pressing and the
agricultural sector is moving away from chemicals and more towards organic
farming.

The project is to be implemented for the period of three (3) years starting
from January 2020 to 31st December 2022. It will cover Eastern, Central,
Copper belt, Lusaka and Southern provinces, initially targeting to reach
11,300 small Holder farmers in cotton, dairy and horticulture value chains.
The project aims at increasing the social, economic and environmental
resilience and equity in agriculture and energy systems, through strengthening
the adaptive capacity of agricultural and energy systems.

3.0 The project’s overall objective

To contribute towards increased social, economic and environmental resilience
and equity in agricultural and energy systems for 11,300 Small Holder Farmers
(SHF).

3.1 Project outcomes;

The Increase project will be implemented under the following three key
outcomes;

> The Income, food and energy security for men, women and youth farmers has improved.
> Increased business /VC performance through CS investments in agriculture, water and RE

The performance of the enabling environment for identifying, developing and
scaling of markets for CSA, water and RE practices (including OYE) has
improved.

Job Description

The baseline study is intended to provide social, economic and environmental
data at the beginning of the project. The survey acts as an accompaniment to
the quantitative and qualitative data that is also recommended when

the opinions of the community in relation to the cotton, dairy and
horticulture value chains. The baseline results will point to how best the
project will be rolled out and set priorities of the project at the sometime
providing information that acts as a benchmark for measuring project success
or failure. The study must clearly produce information that will be used to
