Senior Advisor Carbon Financing & Forest Economics +b

Posted by: Sandra S. van Doesburg

Name of company or organization : SNV/Netherlands Development Organisation

Place of Assignment :  Vietnam  

Job description : SNV Vietnam aims to strengthen the capacity of Vietnamese organizations to improve the living conditions and position of poorer sections of Vietnamese society working towards empowerment. SNV-Vietnam operates within the framework of the Social Economic Development Plan (SEDP) and Millennium Development Goals (MDG). SNV Vietnam’s capacity building services are implemented through specific sectors to achieve impact on poverty alleviation through increased production, income and employment and a better access to basic services for poor people. In Vietnam SNV is active in 4 sectors: Forest Products, Pro Poor Sustainable tourism, Small holder Cash Crops, Renewable Energy including biogas, and Water Sanitation for Hygiene

Forest Products sector

The main focus of the sector in Asia is income generation for the poor through value chain development for timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs), improving market and credit access, market based planning in the forest sector, creation of pro-poor access to carbon financing and promotion of pro-poor management of forest land through small holder producers and communal management of forest land.

In Vietnam recently strategic value chains have been selected in the FP sector: Bamboo, Rattan and Acacia for high value end products. Development of these value chains, their enabling environment and their supporting products/services will lead to improved production, higher income and more employment in the forest sector for the poor.

Objectives of the post

Carbon credits is the forth strategic Value Chain of the FP sector. In the past 3 years the marketing of carbon sequestration under the CDM to co-finance sustainable forest management and/or reforestation by communities has been piloted. This was halted after the Bali conference of December 2007. SNV now wants to anticipate REDD and other innovative (including voluntary) Carbon financing related facilities; new ways and approaches have to be developed to make use of these facilities in the forest sector to improve income of poor forest dependant small holders.

The Carbon Financing & Forest economics advisor will have the responsibility to advise on the development of feasible and market based Carbon credit value chains in the forest sector and other sectors, where possible. He/she will contribute to the SNV-RECOFTC REDD partnership assignment (i), develop and promote SNV’s Inclusive Business product in Carbon financing (ii) exchange knowledge and experience on Carbon financing with other SNV sectors in Vietnam (e.g. renewable energy and small holder cash crops) and with the other SNV Asian countries (iii), work on disseminating and training of SNV advisors in Carbon financing worldwide (iv).

All specific Carbon Financing related work will be done in close cooperation with the regional CDM Renewables advisor currently based in Vientiane –LAO PDR.

Main responsibilities:

A.      Advisory services

•        Stimulates market and product innovation (Carbon funding and Bio-fuels etc.);

•        Supports mainstreaming of Climate Change mitigation in sector and poverty strategies.

•        Ensures the quality of services provided by SNV advisors within his/her field of expertise and evaluates client satisfaction vis-à-vis the provided services;

•        Initiates and contributes to regional assignments within the Carbon funding and PES expertise;

•        Monitors impact of services provided.

B.      Learning & Teamwork

•        Coordinates the activities related to Carbon Funding and PES in Vietnam;

•        Creates “continuous learning” conditions for clients, Renewable Energy and Forest Products sector advisors and other team members;

•        Coaches clients and colleagues in the Renewable Energy and Forest Products sectors in Vietnam;

•        Promotes learning and sharing of best practices related to Carbon funding and PES in Asia.

C.      Knowledge development

•        Establishes good contact network with international project developers, capital investors/ brokers for projects in Vietnam;
