Title : Field Coordinator PRISMA

(Promoting Rural Income through Support for Markets in

Agriculture)

Duty Station : East Flores

Duration : Up to 30 April 2016

Report to : Project Manager PRISMA

Functional context

In March 2014 Hivos started implementation of a ‘M4P’ (Making

Markets Work for the Poor) project funded by DFAT under its

Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Promoting Rural Income

through Support for Markets in Agriculture (AIP-PRISMA)

program. The project “Commercial Pig Rearing in NTT” is a

two-year initiative implemented in conjunction with individual

farmers, local partners and the private sector in eight

locations in Flores, NTT.

The objective of the project is to increase pig farmer incomes

by improving and incentivising productivity. This will be

achieved by addressing several constraints on farmers’

efficient participation in the market, namely: facilitating

farmer access to finance; increasing the speed at which pigs

can be raised via the introduction of improved pig breeds;

encouraging the development of service providers for fodder,

extension services, commercial aggregation and processing; and
