Background

SNV (www.snv.org) is a mission-driven global development partner working in more than 20 countries across Africa and Asia. Building on 60 years of experience and grounded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we work on the core themes of gender equality and social inclusion, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance. Together with our team of over 1,600 people, our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.

SNV has been working in Vietnam since 1995 in partnership with government agencies, the private sector, and local authorities across the agri-food, energy, and water sectors.

In the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, SNV Vietnam is implementing the project Transforming the Rice Value Chain (TRVC) for Climate Resilient and Sustainable Development (TRVC) in An Giang, Dong Thap, and Kien Giang provinces. The project aims to use a results-based financing mechanism to incentivize private enterprises in the rice value chain (RVC) to invest in scaling sustainable rice production among smallholder farmers (SHFs) and marketing domestically and internationally in the most rice intensive production provinces over five years (2022 2027). It is built on three core strategic objectives, namely (1) improving climate resilience, (2) optimizing rice value chain linkages, and (3) developing carbon markets. The TRVC project aims to build on the successes of the AgResults Vietnam Emission Reduction Challenges Project (AVERP), which piloted the results-based prize incentive model in the Thai Binh province to attract a diverse pool of private sector actors to implement improved rice farming practices.

We are seeking for qualified candidate for the post Communications Intern to support the implementation of the TRVC project.
