About Self Help Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self Help Africa (SHA) is an international NGO, dedicated to taking an enterprise approach to reducing poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. Headquartered in Ireland, with offices in the UK, the US and six African countries, SHA focuses on agriculture and agribusiness as the engine of growth in Africa. Our approach is collaborative and market based. Although we see our primary clients as smallholder farmers in Africa, we work with all participants in agricultural value chains. With over 200 staff worldwide, and a global turnover of over \u20ac20m, SHA currently runs programmes on behalf of a range of organisations including the European Union, Irish Aid, the World Food Programme and the UK Department for International Development across six African Countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job purpose<\/strong>
SHA is part of the Global Evergreening Alliance (GEA) https:\/\/www.evergreening.org\/<\/a> , https:\/\/experience.arcgis.com\/experience\/bf3601ce3a364bfc9c57765082b51b7f\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GEA has received funding from Climate Asset Management (CAM) and formed a consortium to implement the project in Kenya through World Vision Kenya, the lead agency, and SHA one of the implementing organizations for Elgeyo Marakwet County. The Programme goal is sustained improvement in eco-system restoration, livelihoods, and resilience to climate change for 250,000 smallholder farmers and pastoralists (men, women and youth) covering 250,000 hectares of land in four target Counties in Kenya by 2052. This programme will enable build substantial carbon sinks and sequestration opportunities, allowing viable returns to both small-holder farmers and investors. The programme will seek to achieve this through: 1) Increased resilience and diversified livelihoods for small-holder households; 2) Improved sustainable income for communities from resilient climate smart value chains; 3) Diversified and sustainable income streams through carbon market engagements; and 4) Strengthened institutional, knowledge sharing and regulatory systems\/framework (policies) for climate-responsive planning\/ development and carbon trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project involves supporting farmers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists to increase the tree cover on their land through appropriate approaches, including planting agroforestry species on farmland; establishing\/ extending\/ restoring woodlots, plantations and natural forests; working with pastoralists and the Conservancies to increase tree cover through Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR); and restoring gullies and eroded land through tree planting and physical structures (bio-engineering).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project supports farmers, pastoralists and agro pastoralists to develop enterprises linked to trees: honey, handicrafts, gum arabic, fruit, etc, and links the project participants to microfinance opportunities. The project aims to improve the dietary diversity of the participants and, eventually, to create income for the participants through the sale of carbon credits. The project has run since 2022 and is at a critical stage that SHA requires a project manager with a blend of technical expertise in implementing Carbon<\/strong> Credit projects with strong project management skills, and excellent interpersonal abilities to ensure the project is impactful, compliant, and well-managed. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
