Terms of Reference - Project coordinator

Position: Project coordinator
National/International: National
Duration: 10 Months

Background
Two of the main issues of our time are food security and climate change. We have to adapt to climate change in order to provide sufficient food. At the same time agriculture plays a role in reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses that cause climate change.

Central Kalimantan is the target of many of Indonesia's efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses, particularly REDD . Central Kalimantan is very relevant for this due to its large forest cover, but also the threats to existing forest posed by forest conversion and forest and peat land fires. FAO aims to support the effort to reduce emissions, while at the same time focusing on increasing agricultural production in a sustainable way. This will be done through the introduction and trials of new agricultural techniques that focus on reduced fire use. The project will be implemented with communities in Kacamaten Jabiren Raya in Pulang Pisau district, Central Kalimantan.
