SNV IS LOOKING FOR:
TRAINER FOR COCONUT INTERVENTION PROGRAM
SNV Netherlands Development Organization
SNV is an international not-for-profit development organisation, working in
38 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. SNV specializes in
supporting the resourcefulness of development actors by developing local
capacities, improving performance and services, strengthening governance
systems, helping to create access for excluded groups and by making markets
work for the poor. Our global team of advisors use their specialist sector
and change expertise in Agriculture, Renewable Energy and WASH to facilitate
sustainable change in the livelihoods of millions of people living in poverty.
South Sumatra Partnership for Landscape Management Support Project
SNV is part of the South Sumatra Partnership for Landscape Management Support
Project, also known as Kemitraan Pengelolaan Lanskap Sembilang Dangku (KELOLA
Sendang), which has been initiated by several donors and NGOs to support the
South Sumatera Governmentâs Green Growth vision. The landscape stretching
across Musi Banyuasin and Banyuasin districts in South Sumatra province. This
is a multi-use landscape that includes settlements, cultivation
(predominantly industrial timber, rubber, and oil palm plantations), as well
as biodiversity hotspots including Berbak-Sembilang National Park and Dangku
Wildlife Preserve.
In the period 1990-2014, deforestation accounted for about 63% of all
observed land use/cover changes and forest degradation for about 20%
(Bioclime 2016, processed). Moreover, the conversion is dominated by cash
crop plantations with oil palm cultivation as the major contributing factor
(65%), 10% from agriculture and 9% by the development of forest plantations.
The highest deforestation occurred in the period 2000-2010 and was around
30%. However, increasing global demand for other agricultural commodities may
soon also increase pressure on forests.
The project promotes Sustainable Landscape Management as an approach for
sustainable development at the landscape and village level, while minimizing
the trade-offs between economic, social and environmental goals. Under the
KELOLA Sendang project, SNV leads the development and implementation of key
interventions aimed at enhancing the sustainability of commodities, including
smallholdersâ natural rubber and palm oil.
Up to March 2019, SNV has also implemented better management practices (BMP)
to more than 2,000 rubebr and palm oil farmers in the landscape, including
farmer groups and cooperatives. Market linkage has also been developed,
including direct selling to rubber factories. Up to March 2019, rubber farmer
groups and cooperatives have undertaken transactions involving more than 600
tonnes of rubber, with a total value of around IDR 6 billion (USD $425,000).
In the next phase of KELOLA Sendang, SNV will scale up the scope of work and
adding our intervention to coconut sector, specifically in Banyuasin
district. Coconut in Banyuasin district covers 47.285 Ha areas and has become
