Title : Consultant – Trainer for Advocacy Training
Duty Station : Jakarta, Indonesia

Background
Hivos and the European Union (EU) has signed a grant agreement for
SWITCH Asia - Local Harvest: Promoting Sustainable and Equitable Consumption
and Local Food System in Indonesia – DCI-ACA/2017/391-649. The project aimed at
a significant shift in consumption patterns towards sustainable and ethically
sourced food products in Indonesia is stimulated by increased knowledge and
awareness of consumers about the impacts of their food choices; increased
capacities of food MSMEs and producers - including women and indigenous people
- to penetrate markets; and a favorable policy environment for uptake of
sustainable consumption and production (SCP) practices in the food sector.
This activity builds on Hivos existing multi-stakeholder ‘Food Lab’
approach, implemented throughout its Sustainable Diets for All (SD4All)
programme, in Bandung and Jember since 2017.
SD4All is an advocacy programme that uses evidence, including evidence
generated by citizens, to help low- income communities in Zambia, Uganda,
Indonesia and Bolivia improve their access to sustainable, diverse and nutritious
food. The 5-year (2016-2020) programme is coordinated by Hivos, the
International Institute for the Environment and Development (IIED) and partners
in the focal countries. The goal of SD4All is to work with citizens and partner
organisations to influence policies, market practices, government actors and
international institutions to promote diets which are diverse, healthy, fair
and green.
The whole interventions expand the target of SD4All to also include
consumers in the middle income level, especially the ones in the targeted urban
areas who have the highest consumption levels and therefore more leverage to
drive changes in consumption habits.
Moreover, Local Harvest expands the previous focus of SD4All on the
consumption side of the food system, to also cover the production and
distribution side – completing the circle.
Building multistakeholder coalitions/platforms are key element in both
SD4All and Local Harvest. The coalition/platforms under Local Harvest will be
established in areas in the five cities where campaign activities will focus,
and in two districts where we reach large numbers of producers, market traders
and local consumers.
