Description
Junior Programme
The Junior Program, organized by the Belgian Development Agency (Enabel), gives you the opportunity to work for 1 to 2 years in development projects implemented by Enabel or one of the 24 Non-Government Actors (NGO ) affiliated to the Junior Program. You will go to one of the 14 partner countries of the Belgian cooperation with the aim of contributing actively to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
NGO: Ile de Paix
Iles de Paix’s activities focus on promoting sustainable family agriculture and responsible food.
The number of people living in sometimes unbearable poverty remains high: food security is still a central challenge for humanity. The industrialised system of food production spreading worldwide is particularly toxic: it contributes to climate change, it destroys ecosystems, it excludes small farmers, it threatens the health of populations and it generates huge amounts of waste. Moreover, the system is extremely vulnerable to climate instability, the inevitable end of cheap energy, the scarcity of minerals such as phosphorus, used to make fertilisers, the depletion of water resources and economic crises. Iles de Paix believes the transition to more environmentally friendly forms of agriculture is the only possible option.
Mission :
The position of Junior Expert in Microfinance and Marketing aims to:
- Promote the development of skills of common local partners of Iles de Paix, Broederlijk Delen and Protos for research in these domains
- Actively contribute to creating inventories of existing and in-depth studies on these topics at the heart of sustainable agriculture, and particularly to promote the establishment of linkages between MFIs and family farmers/ farmers’ cooperatives.
The results from the research should allow Iles de Paix and its partners to be particularly innovative in the domain of the economic performance of family farmers. The inventories and studies will be shared in the exchange platforms of Belgian actors in the sustainable agriculture sector, so as to contribute to the identification of areas of collaboration and synergy between these actors.
