EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

M4P PROJECT COORDINATOR

Who we are;

BRiTEN (Building Rural Incomes Through Entrepreneurship is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing about a paradigm shift among the rural communities in conceiving of their livelihoods as going beyond providing for the family’s subsistence needs and moving into a business-minded frame of mind that harnesses competitive advantage. Our approach is on understanding the market system and understanding how to bring about a large scale systemic change by addressing the underlying causes with a commitment to sustainability

Our principal goal in Agricultural Interventions is to increase incomes and improve rural livelihoods for smallholder farmers by ensuring their integration into value chains while creating efficiencies for all other market actors. We aim at ensuring that the value chains are inclusive for women, men young men and young women.

The Project:

Project Purpose and Outcomes for Pilot Phase

Project Purpose – Improvement of bean marketing through access and adoption of improved seed varieties, improved post-harvest handling and farmer group aggregation

Expected Systemic Changes:

Farm level changes: increased smallholder competitiveness and inclusiveness into the bean value- chain through improved quality of produce which will fetch good price.

Market level changes: improved market functions resulting from improved coordination of the value chain leading to enhanced contractual relationships of producers and private sector leading to increased trust.

The project will critically address challenges around coordination and market access segments of the value chain which will lead to the development of sustainable and scalable approaches to job creation and increased incomes:

Outcome 1: Improved bean seed varieties are commercially available to smallholder women, men and youth farmers in Njombe and Ruvuma regions

Outcome 2: Smallholder women, men and youth farmers purchase improved bean varieties from the availed commercial channels in Njombe and Ruvuma regions

Outcome 3: Smallholder farmers in Njombe and Ruvuma regions improve their agronomic practices for bean farming

Outcome 4: Farmer organizations increase collective action for their members (smallholder women, men and youth farmers)

Outcome 5: Smallholder women, men and youth farmers increase the market share in the common beans market

Our Co-Facilitator /Partner believes that enabling large-scale systemic change targeting market systems critical for the productive poor, for marginalized women and youth, creates a much stronger chance of achieving a sustained pro-poor impact.

The partners are mutually supportive of the goal of funding Governments which aims to increase incomes and employment opportunities for poor women, men, and young people in Tanzania.

The Project will facilitate the emergence of new market systems to supply small holder farmers with reliable, high quality agro inputs and access to extension support which in return will increase volumes, the quality of production and connect farmers to markets.
