Job Description
Company Description
We are SNV br>SNV is a global development partner, deeply rooted in the countries where we operate. We are driven by a vision of a better world: A world where across every society all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to thrive sustainably. To make this vision a reality, we need transformations in vital agri-food, energy, and water systems. SNV contributes by strengthening capacities and catalysing partnerships in these sectors. We help strengthen institutions and governance, reduce gender inequalities and barriers to social inclusion, and enable adaptation and mitigation to the climate and biodiversity crises (SNV themes).
Building on 60 years of experience we support our partners with technical and process expertise and methodological rigour. We do this in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia with a team of approximately 1,600 colleagues. By being adaptable and tailoring our approaches to these different contexts, we can contribute to impact at scale, resulting in more equitable lives for all.
Our core values of people-centeredness and respect, equity and equality, and diversity and inclusion are fundamental to who we are and what we do. This is reflected in our vision, mission, and strategy, which set out our aspirations and commitments as our compass towards 2030.
Our CARE principles—Committed to Impact, Adaptive to Context, Respecting Differences, and Expertise in Practice—are at the heart of who we are and the work we do.These principles are embedded in our vision, mission, and strategy, which serve as our compass guiding us towards 2030.
Overview of the Assignment
Persistent poverty, climate-induced shocks, land degradation, and underperforming agricultural markets continue to limit the progress of smallholder farmers in Uganda. These challenges are particularly acute in livestock-based livelihoods, where poor access to markets, unsustainable land use practices, and low productivity converge to suppress living incomes. The effects are felt most across regions like Busoga, Rwenzori, Greater Ankole, and Kigezi—where rural households rely heavily on agriculture and livestock as both a source of income and nutrition. < r>In response, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), with funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Kampala, is implementing a transformative five-year programme (2024–2029) that aims to increase the living income and resilience of 75,000 smallholder farmer (SHF) households through livestock-centered development. Recognising the need for systemic change, the project moves beyond conventional approaches and adopts Participatory Integrated Planning (PIP) as a foundational methodology to empower SHFs to lead their own development trajectories. < r>By building farmers’ adaptive capacity and fostering integrated planning at the household level, the project will promote sustainable land use, improved livestock productivity, better access to inclusive markets, and enhanced food and nutrition security. The INCLUDE project is firmly anchored in two interrelated outcome areas: sustainable production and inclusive livestock markets. These will be advanced through a locally embedded, ecosystem-based model that brings together public, private, and civil society actors. < r>This is not a traditional top-down project; rather, it is a farmer-centric initiative that values co-creation, continuous learning, and long-term sustainability. Implementation will be led by regional teams, with a total of 32 committed staff under the strategic leadership of the Project Manager.

Overview of the Assignment
Persistent poverty, climate-induced shocks, land degradation, and underperforming agricultural markets continue to limit the progress of smallholder farmers in Uganda. These challenges are particularly acute in livestock-based livelihoods, where poor access to markets, unsustainable land use practices, and low productivity converge to suppress living incomes. The effects are felt most across regions like Busoga, Rwenzori, Greater Ankole, and Kigezi—where rural households rely heavily on agriculture and livestock as both a source of income and nutrition. < r>In response, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), with funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Kampala, is implementing a transformative five-year programme (2024–2029) that aims to increase the living income and resilience of 75,000 smallholder farmer (SHF) households through livestock-centered development. Recognising the need for systemic change, the project moves beyond conventional approaches and adopts Participatory Integrated Planning (PIP) as a foundational methodology to empower SHFs to lead their own development trajectories. < r>By building farmers’ adaptive capacity and fostering integrated planning at the household level, the project will promote sustainable land use, improved livestock productivity, better access to inclusive markets, and enhanced food and nutrition security. The INCLUDE project is firmly anchored in two interrelated outcome areas: sustainable production and inclusive livestock markets. These will be advanced through a locally embedded, ecosystem-based model that brings together public, private, and civil society actors. < r>This is not a traditional top-down project; rather, it is a farmer-centric initiative that values co-creation, continuous learning, and long-term sustainability. Implementation will be led by regional teams, with a total of 32 committed staff under the strategic leadership of the Project Manager. The Project Manager will ensure quality execution, oversee relations with strategic partners, build relations with the private sector, serve as the primary liaison with EKN, and champion transparent reporting and knowledge sharing with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the project’s ambition translates into meaningful change on the ground. < r>Overview of the Position:
