The International Potato Center (CIP) is seeking a dedicated and motivated Local Agroforestry Coordinator for our hosted organization, CIFOR-ICRAF in the region. 

About CIFOR-ICRAF: More than a research institute—it is a hub of the brightest minds working together to develop nature-based solutions for forested and tree-based landscapes. We collaborate with governments, academia, civil society, and the private sector to address five major global challenges: deforestation and biodiversity loss, the climate crisis, the transformation of unsustainable food systems, unsustainable value and supply chains, and extreme inequality. 

About the role: The selected candidate for this position will be responsible for coordinating the implementation, monitoring, and systematization of activities related to the Agroecology TPP https://www.agroecologytpp.org/, specifically for the B-REAL within the framework of Multifunctional Landscapes program in Ucayali. The role will lead the co-design and co-learning activities on tree-based systems interventions and support the pilot of a decision-support tool to guide technical assistance and communication on integrating agroecological and tree-based practices into farming and natural resource management systems in Ucayali.  

 

Key responsibilities: 

  • Systematize and characterize Nature+ initiatives within the project's scope, identifying gender barriers and opportunities for scaling in prioritized landscapes, and presenting them in a summary report and structured database. 
  • Develop methodological and technical inputs for the creation of farm (Planes prediales) and community plans (SEAL CUSAF), with a focus on strengthening the role of tree-based systems.  
  • Contribute with methodological inputs to the adaptation of the local V2A process to strengthen the co-design approach at nested levels (plot farm community landscape) in connection to MFL. 
  • Provide technical inputs on tree-based practices that contribute to improving biodiversity in agricultural systems and land-use mosaics in areas and land use systems identified with project partners (based on the DB and on existing material and tools from CIFOR ICRAF). 
  • Participate in the establishment of a network of learning sites on tree-based Nature+ practices and approaches.  
  • Design and implement participatory training modules on tree-based Nature+ practices, aimed at biodiversity conservation and improving production on farms. 
  • Support the expansion and application of a tool for selecting tree species, in order to improve biodiversity on plots and in the landscape.
  • ​Carry out complementary activities that contribute to CIFOR-ICRAF research and support the intervention of the national technical team in Ucayali, within the framework of the institutional agenda. 
  • Prepare and submit technical progress and final reports, in accordance with the formats, deadlines, and guidelines established in the sub-agreement. 


Requirements

What are we looking for?  

  • Master in Forestry, Environmental, or Agronomic engineering with a minimum of five years of experience in coordinating field projects related to agroforestry, restoration, and agroecology. 
  • Minimum 5 years demonstrated professional experience in similar positions, especially in international organizations or NGOs.
