Build lasting relationships with community leaders, cooperative heads, and farmer groups to promote trust, transparency, and participation

Requirements

A motivated and trustworthy individual with strong roots in rural communities
Passionate about nature restoration, climate resilience, and sustainable farming

You bring:

A certificate, diploma, or relevant experience in agriculture, rural development, forestry, or environmental science
Prior experience working with smallholder farmers, preferably in rural Kenya
