More information about the job:
Our planet needs forests, and millions of people live in and protect them. The expansion of agricultural areas drives up to 90 of global deforestation. The European Union is an important import market for these commodities. For this reason, the EU has adopted a new regulation for reducing its contribution to deforestation and forest degradation caused by its consumption (EU Regulation on Deforestation Free Products, EUDR).
The EU and its Member States support the inclusive and just transition of sustainable value chains to the EU, especially for smallholder farmers and low-income countries, by scaling agroecological practices, reducing risks in value chains, and crowding in public and private investments in sustainable agribusinesses. Producers will benefit from this support in line with the EU's Global Gateway offer trustworthy connections with partners around the world, based on sustainable values and standards that work for people and the planet. With the newly established Team Europe Initiative (TEI) on Deforestation free Value Chains, the aim is to bring together the expertise of EU and EU Member States for a positive partnership offer at scale to partner countries.
The GIZ is implementing the "Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems" (SAFE) project, a flagship initiative under the newly established TEI. SAFE is cofinanced by the European Union, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Netherlands. The project supports sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate deforestation, currently in 10 countries in Latin America, South-East Asia, and Africa. SAFE also supports the establishment of partnerships at regional and global level. The TEI Hub, coordinated by SAFE, aims to facilitate coordination, outreach, and knowledge management.
