Job
description : The rural society in
Rain fed agriculture and livestock keeping remain for the moment the main sources of revenues, although gold precedes cotton (2) and livestock (3) as the main source of export revenues. Agro-climatic conditions and markets vary considerably and influence food security and income generating severely, explaining why it’s important for rural households to make balanced choices of economic activities & market chains.
The
decentralization process, crucial for adequate basic services delivery and
investment in socio-economic activities, is progressing slowly, but certainly;
most competences and financial resources are not yet transferred to local
governments.
The
Netherlands Development Organisation SNV is working in 33 developing countries.
Its work emphasizes on poverty reduction through two key impact areas:
“Sustainable and Equitable Production, Income and Employment” (PIE), as well as
“Effective, Efficient and Increased Access to and Delivery of Basic Services”
(BASE). Governance is an important cross-cutting theme. Sustainability, gender
equity and social inclusion are key elements of good governance. SNV

agricultural sectors: ‘cotton’, ‘livestock/pastoralism’ and ‘oil seeds’. SNV

livestock keepers, on sustainable natural resource management and on better
supply of socio-economic services of rural households. SNV seeks to improve the
functioning of farmers’ organisations and rural service deliverers, to
stimulate farmer-induced economic projects and to develop alternative chains
(for cotton and other farm products). In current agricultural reorganization,
capacity development of farmers (in analysis, negotiation) is important for
securing the revenues and services, which especially the cotton sector has
delivered for a long time. SNV tries to influence agricultural policies, as
