Job Description
This is a remote position.
The Organization
The Alliance of Bioversity International delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people’s lives. Alliance solutions address the global crises of malnutrition, climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation.The Alliance works with local, national and multinational partners across Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, and with the public and private sectors. The Alliance is part of CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food-secure future, dedicated to reducing poverty, enhancing food and nutrition security, and improving natural resources and ecosystem services.
Project background: AICCRA overview
AICCRA works to make climate information services and climate-smart agriculture more accessible to millions of smallholder farmers across Africa.
With better access to technology and advisory services—linked to information about effective response measures—farmers can better anticipate climate-related events to take preventative action that helps their communities safeguard livelihoods and the environment.
AICCRA has teams in six countries: Senegal, Ghana, Mali, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Zambia.
These teams collaborate with four AICCRA themes - Knowledge, Partnerships, Innovation and Gender and social inclusion. AICCRA is supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, which is used to enhance research and capacity-building activities of CGIAR centers and initiatives, as well as their African partners.
The IDA grant to AICCRA fulfils the World Bank’s commitment at the 2019 United Nations Climate Summit to increase its support to the CGIAR, a global partnership that unites international organizations engaged in research about food security.
Context
Kenya's commitment to the blue economy is evident in the establishment of the State Department for Fisheries and the Blue Economy (SDF-BE) within the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries through executive order No. 1/2016. This department oversees blue economy initiatives aimed at tapping into the potential of the ocean and coasts for food security, job creation, and economic growth.
Key sectors identified by Kenya in the blue economy include fisheries and aquaculture, maritime transport and logistics services, culture and tourism, and extractives (oil and gas, minerals, and energy). These sectors are deemed essential for achieving sustainable results in food security and employment creation.
Within the Blue Economy framework, Kenya plans to boost fisheries through development of appropriate capacity for exploitation of the fish industry including training, deep sea fishing vessels, fish processing factories, cold storage facilities, landing jetties and construction of fish ports.
Project objectives
AICCRA-Kenya aims to develop a pipeline of gender responsive Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) business models for aggregators within the blue economy subsector that can eventually be matched with private investor capital with mandates in Kenya. Selected aggregators will benefit from a tailored Climate Action Plan (CAP) which will serve as blueprints for others in the region. CSA is defined as improved production, adaptation or resilience to climate change, and reduced emissions from agriculture. While climate change is an economic reality affecting the agricultural sector, women farmers have limited access to inputs, information, and finance to innovate with climate-based solutions.
AICCRA Kenya in partnership with national, regional ecosystem actors and the private sector will nurture promising aggregators through identifying and tailoring climate adaptation plans with the aim to de-risk their business modules by responding to climate change risks and facilitate scaling of innovations through adoption of CSA technologies. Furthermore, by focusing on innovations with a clear gender lens, AICCRA Kenya aims to highlight opportunities for women in the agricultural sector and increase their adaptive capacity and resilience in the face of climate change.
