- Background: The International Trade Centre (ITC) is a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization for trade-related technical cooperation in developing countries. The Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (OLAC), as a geographical section of the Division of Country Programmes (DCP), is responsible for defining the ITC strategy and coordinating all regional interventions for individual countries or at the sub-regional and regional levels. The Green & Inclusive Value Chains section (GIVC) within the Division for Sustainable and Inclusive Trade (DSIT) is responsible for sector-wide transformation, improving market linkages and private sector competitiveness linked to responsible production and consumption, climate resilience, food security, sustainable standards, and market systems. The section utilizes the Alliances for Action (A4A) methodologies to implement projects in its Inclusive and Sustainable Agribusiness value chains areas of work. The A4A is a participatory partnership model that focuses on increasing the competitiveness of MSMES, smallholder farmers and value chain actors while ensuring respect of environmental, economic, and social requirements. A4A seeks to develop responsible, inclusive and sustainable trade by aligning investment and coordination across the full ecosystem of VC actors and by building competitiveness especially in agribusiness. The establishment of partnerships and networks is an essential underlying element of the A4A approach as it contributes to mobilise collaboration, expertise and investment into the alliances along with sustainability of the approach over time. The European Union (EU) funded project “Strengthening nutritious and sustainable value chains in the Caribbean through Alliances” aims to support agri-MSMEs, cooperatives and producers (smallholder farmers and fishers) to become more competitive and resilient through value addition, diversification, and new market development at the regional level. The project is aligned with various EU and CARICOM strategies, including the CARICOM strategy related to “Regional Food Production and Productivity Towards a Sustainable Import Replacement Programme: 25% by 2025 Reduction in the Regional Food Bill”, which has developed a comprehensive import-replacement programme with accompanying targets for selected commodities, geared towards achieving the overall 25% by 2025 objective. This assignment aims to contribute to the coordination of project partners and activities in Jamaica under the project, including capacity building and market linkages programmes for agri-processors and farmer/ fisherfolk associations/ cooperatives formulating productive and commercial alliances in fruits and vegetables, fisheries/ aquaculture and roots and tubers primarily, according to key areas and priorities identified in the company and institutions screening exercise. Description of Duties/Responsibilities Under the direct supervision of the Head of Inclusive Agribusiness Systems (GIVC), and under overall guidance of the Associate Programme Officer(s) (GIVC and OLAC), and in collaboration with the national team, the consultant will be responsible for the following duties: - Prepare written outputs, including reports and presentations on project objectives and activities in Jamaica, to be regularly updated for presenting to government, donor and private sector partners. - Assist in developing a country-level work plan for the Year 1 activities of the project implementation phase in Jamaica, including proposed budget allocations, timelines and outputs, for validation by national level partners. - Assist in developing work plans for selected companies/ social enterprises, outlining areas of
