Team Leader with expertise in agricultural policy
Project description
Overall objective:
To contribute to a more inclusive, sustainable and competitive growth-orientated agricultural sector that respects the environment, increases rural incomes, and slows down migration from rural areas, i.e. reduces rural exodus.
Purpose:
To improve the capacity of central government and decentralised Oblast/ATC entities to create a positive enabling environment for the sustainable private sector development in rural areas in general, and the agriculture sector specifically, thereby improving livelihoods of smallholder farmers, encouraging the use of good agricultural practices (GAPs), and supporting ongoing reforms in the fisheries and forestry sectors
Results:
- Result 1: Functioning and reformed MDETA able to implement an approved ARD strategic action plan, including further legal approximation related to the AA/DCFTA and the ministry’s priorities.
- Result 2: Functioning agriculture policy unit (APU) within MDETA to ensure agriculture policy is evidence-based, properly monitored and linked to medium term expenditure planning.
- Result 3: Executive agencies related to forestry and fisheries have devolved functions and are responsible for implementation of sector policy, particularly concerning smallholder activities.
- Result 4: A long-term national strategy and related policies for GI implementation are supported by a legal, institutional and control framework harmonised with EU practices, thereby ensuring the protection of Ukrainian and EU GIs, creating opportunities for added value products, and stimulating diversification and local initiatives, in particular for small producers.
- Result 5: Functioning and reformed regional governments at oblast and ATC levels are able to implement an approved ARD strategic action plan and the AA/DCFTA.
- Result 6: State support programmes effectively target private sector activities at decentralised level, particularly related to sustainable small farm development and rural diversification.
GFA is in a consortium with DMI (FR), Tetra Tech International Development B.V. (NL), Centrum Doradztwa Rolniczego w Brwinowie (Agricultural Advisory Centre
