The ATI’s work is centred on improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers (SHFs) across the country for improved income, inclusiveness, resilience, and sustainability.&nbsp;The ATI works to transform the agriculture sector in Ethiopia by conducting policy and analytical studies, providing technical implementation support and capacity building, coordinating.platforms to better integrate partners and projects and designing and directly leading several innovative/pilot interventions.&nbsp;The Institute joins forces with various stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, farmers, and development partners, to support the implementation of agricultural development programs and initiatives. In addition, the ATI collaborates with national and international partners to facilitate knowledge exchange and learning opportunities. The Institute plays a crucial role in generating and disseminating information to support evidence-based decision-making in Ethiopia’s agricultural sector.&nbsp;&nbsp; Our CultureWe have an exceptional team of highly competent employees with a proven track record of success in managing complex activities and achieving transformational results.&nbsp; Our culture is one where talented, dedicated, and adaptable individuals are committed to doing their best and exhibit great teamwork to achieve excellent results.&nbsp;At ATI, we provide an exceptional platform for people who want to achieve their highest potential and make a&nbsp;meaningful&nbsp;contribution in changing the country’s agricultural sector.&nbsp; We offer rewarding work in a young, fast-paced growing organization with passionate, committed, motivated colleagues and excellent career development and training.&nbsp; We recognize our most valuable assets are our staff and are committed to providing our employees with the tools, training, and mentorships necessary to achieve their career goals.POSITION SUMMARY:The Government of Ethiopia (GoE) has made the transformation and commercialization of the agriculture sector a key tenet of its Transformation Plan. At the very core of the strategy to achieve this transformation is the transition of smallholder farmers from subsistence orientation to market focused production systems and activities that better integrate them into domestic and global supply chains. The full development and competitiveness of the entire agricultural value chain is thus critical to ensure that smallholder farmers can make the necessary market linkages that allow such supply chain integrations to happen.&nbsp;Along the agricultural value chain, agriculture-oriented enterprises play critical roles in developing infrastructure, producing and distributing inputs, processing, marketing, retailing and exporting products, among others. However, these businesses are predominantly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that remain largely underdeveloped due to a number of barriers, particularly access to appropriate and timely financial products and services, talent and skill development, and supply chain and market linkages. There is thus a need for targeted support for agricultural SMEs as they are a catalyst to increasing rural incomes, improving food security, and are the building blocks to form larger enterprises spurring Ethiopia’s future economic growth.In many other countries, Agribusiness Accelerators have successfully scaled and professionalized SMEs through comprehensive business development services and funding. At ATI Several projects already provide some supports to agricultural SMEs, but opportunity remains for an SME-focused program to provide more holistic business development services. Thus, we are building a new SME-focused business unit – Agri-Hub – to expand the Accelerator model at ATI.Some of the most critical challenges SMEs face are underdeveloped business capabilities and limited access to finance. Agri-Hub is looking to hire a regional Business Development Advisor to help address these challenges. Each &nbsp;SPO I-Business Development &nbsp;will support the SMEs served by Agri-Hub in his/her region with the following responsibilities: 1) deliver regular 1:1 business advisory mentorship to SME owners, with support including: developing and operationalizing a business plan, making strategic and numbers-based decisions, identifying and executing operational efficiencies; 2) represent Agri-Hub to develop relationships and create linkages to lending institutions (i.e. commercial banks and MFIs) and facilitate their willingness to lend to Agri-Hub SMEs; and 3) facilitate and coordinate the delivery of Agri-Hub services in his/her region.The SPO I- Business Development will officially report to the Agri-Hub Team Lead of&nbsp;the Agri-Hub HQ and Regional Business and marketing team lead and will be based in TATC (Tigray). This role will require frequent travel within the regions.ESSENTIAL DUTIES and RESPONSIBILITIES:<ul><li>Provide 1:1 business advisory and mentorship to high potential small enterprises involving:<ul><li>Guidance on strategic decisions</li><li>Coaching to form ambitious but attainable business plans</li><li>Hands-on support to operationalize those plans</li></ul></li><li>Serve as the voice of Agri-Hub to form relationships with regional MFIs and commercial banks on behalf of Agri-Hub’s SMEs; facilitate those SMEs’ linkages to financing institutions</li><li>Coordinate implementation of services to SMEs in the region</li><li>Report performance and brief progress updates about his/her duties to Agri-Hub project team regularly</li></ul>

International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology

&nbsp;<ol><li>Background&nbsp;</li></ol>Beekeeping in Ethiopia is an important agricultural practice that provides employment opportunities, income generation, and contributes to food security and biodiversity conservation. Ethiopia is known for its diverse ecological zones with a wide variety of floral resources that are conducive for beekeeping. Traditional beekeeping has been practiced in Ethiopia for centuries, primarily by small-scale farmers using traditional hives. In recent years, modern beekeeping techniques and technologies have been introduced to improve production and productivity. The government has also implemented various initiatives to support the beekeeping sector, including providing training, access to beekeeping equipment and inputs, and establishing cooperatives to enhance market access for honey and other bee products. Despite all these efforts, around 10% of the total household with an average colony of 5-6 per household are engaged in beekeeping endeavor. This might be attributed to the rapid land use change in favor of crops coupled with increased use of agrochemicals, impact of climate change on the environment and associated resultant effect on land degradation, as well as nature of the business since it requires extra efforts and skills. This implies that the current traditional beekeeping practice has been under pressure from these causative factors.&nbsp;Even under these circumstances Ethiopia is still the largest honey producer in Africa and ranks among the top ten honey-producing countries in the world. The country's diverse flora, including forest trees, acacia woodlands, and other flowering plants, provide abundant nectar sources for honeybees. Overall, beekeeping in Ethiopia plays a significant role in improving livelihoods, conserving biodiversity, and enhancing food security. The sector has great potential for further growth and development; in view of this increasing the number of beekeepers, expansion of beekeeping business within each household, and overall development of the value chain both vertically and horizontally are valid growth trajectories for bee keeping sector.&nbsp; Having in mind these it is essential to continue exploring other opportunities, supporting and investing in the beekeeping industry to maximize its benefits for both beekeepers and the environment.Although beekeeping in Ethiopia has long tradition, there is no sufficient information on the experience of apiculture in protected public areas except few fragmented involvements from few participatory forest management projects. Much of the practices are restricted to backyard/homestead surroundings apart from some experiences in forest areas, particularly, in the South, West, and southwestern Ethiopia. Given the rapid change of land use in the country where much of the land is allocated to farmland, beekeeping in protected forest areas might bring great opportunity for unemployed youths and even investment in the sector. Application of geographic indication with traceability, organic certification and branding of honey and honey products will be much easier if apiculture is implemented in protected lands such as forests, parks and reserve areas. In addition to such opportunities and well-known benefits, beekeeping in the reserved forest areas are important for several reasons. Among these the role the bees play in pollinating plants, and hence sustaining yields of insect-pollinator dependent food crops and maintaining the biodiversity of the forest ecosystem are crucial services. By promoting beekeeping in protected forest areas, beekeepers can contribute to the maintenance of stocks of honeybee colonies in these landscapes, and regeneration of the forest through increased plant pollination and maintain the balance of the ecosystem and ensure the long-term health of the agro-ecosystem in general.&nbsp;There is documented evidence for the presence of countries implementing government policy framework for the management of apiary sites on public lands, including state forests, reserves and National Parks. Thus, beekeeping can be a sustainable land management practice compatible with protecting biodiversity in forest areas. Overall, beekeeping in forested areas can be a unique and enriching experience, so long as considerations such as location, water source, pests and predators, fire risk and hive placement are well taken care of during the design and implementation of beekeeping development projects in protected forest areas. However, there is limited information on the status of beekeeping practices in these forest areas in Ethiopia.&nbsp;Furthermore, very little is known about legal frameworks that govern beekeeping in protected areas under Ethiopian context. It is understood that beekeepers must adhere to national and local regulations if they want to embark on apiculture in protected areas. These regulations may include restrictions on hive size, distance from sensitive habitats, and permitted management practices. Protected area management plans may designate areas for beekeeping and outline guidelines for conservation as has been the case in other countries. International treaties in the case of registered biosphere reserve areas and parks may also govern beekeeping activities, such as restrictions on introduction of non-native bee species and pesticide uses. Assessing the available frameworks considering apiculture and mapping stakeholders together with their level of collaboration are some of the crucial tasks that we need to explore before we jump into beekeeping undertaking in the protected public areas.&nbsp;2. Purpose of the assignment:The objective of this assessment is to evaluate the existing beekeeping practices in the protected public lands (Forests, Reserves, and parks) areas in Ethiopia, identify challenges and opportunities&nbsp;for integrating beekeeping with the overriding conservation objective, assess available legal frameworks that govern interaction of rural communities with the protected landscapes and make recommendations for promoting sustainable beekeeping practices in protected public lands.3. Scope of work:In terms of geographical coverage this assignment is expected to include all available protected (Forest, park and reserve) areas in Ethiopia. Thematically the assessment will include the following core technical areas. It is imperative that the consulting firm uses appropriate analytical frameworks and tools when exploring each of the following core tasks.&nbsp;<ul><li>Analyze current and past beekeeping practices in protected (forest, parks, reserves, and monasteries) areas in Ethiopia and other comparable countries.</li><li>Identify successful models and lessons learned from integrating apiculture in conservation efforts.</li><li>Characterize (based on secondary data) those protected forest areas in terms botanical composition including key aspects of their management plan</li><li>Map Ethiopian Forest areas (based on secondary data), identify their major high-potential bee forage species and indicate their potential for apiculture business</li><li>Provide a rough estimate of the honeybee colony carrying capacity of the major protected landscapes with relatively high potential for supporting commercial beekeeping</li><li>Undertake field level observations in at least two selected areas with the view to substantiate information gathered from secondary data source&nbsp;</li><li>Identify key stakeholders to be involved in beekeeping undertakings in protected public lands/forest and park areas</li><li>Review available legal frameworks that apply to govern and administer the protected landscapes and assess against its relevance with the beekeeping activities</li><li>Capture opinions of sample beekeepers, government officials, development practitioners (NGOs), and other key stakeholders about whether and how these protected landscapes can be effectively utilized for sustainable commercial beekeeping</li><li>Provide estimation on the number of decent jobs that can be supported by sustainable beekeeping established in and around the protected landscapes&nbsp;</li><li>Assess possible negative effects of beekeeping practices in protected forest/park and reserve areas and constraints for apiculture undertaking&nbsp;</li><li>Outline the potential socio-economic benefits of commercial beekeeping by communities residing in and around protected landscapes&nbsp;</li><li>Draft conceptual framework for piloting and promoting sustainable beekeeping in and around the protected public lands&nbsp;</li></ul>4. Deliverables and estimated number of days:The consultant will be expected to provide the following deliverables;1.
