World Vision International Lao PDR
Hiring Consultant to develop the Training Manual for Trainers on Business Management, Marketing, Financial Management, Climate-Smart Agriculture, and provide Training for Trainers for key implementing partners and BASIN staff
The Building Climate-Adaptive Solutions through Inclusive Market Networks (BASIN) project is a regional initiative, jointly implemented by World Vision Australia (leading agency), World Vision East Asia Region, World Vision International in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The project will be executed for 48 months (May 2025 – April 2029), with funding support from Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through Mekong Australia Partnership Phase 2 (DFAT-MAP2), and aims to build a more inclusive, integrated, economically and climate-resilient Mekong Subregion.
For Lao PDR, the BASIN Laos project will be implemented in 12 target villages in Soukhouma District, Champasak Province, with key focus on three selected agricultural value chains: rice, vegetable, and livestock (pig & poultry), to support the 2018 farmer households, or 9,081 individuals as direct beneficiaries, including women, men, children and marginalized groups (youths, person with disabilities and ethnic minorities), to be reached in target project areas. The BASIN program’s core approach is inclusive of Market Systems Development (iMSD), as World Vision’s key strategy for increasing incomes of the marginal poor. The iMSD approach will integrate access to finance, Gender Equality Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI), and Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action (ESCA), which will enhance market functionality to better serve people in poverty and marginalised groups, while building their capacity to participate in and benefit from market systems. This approach addresses beneficiaries’ needs, including access to climate-smart agricultural practices, increased market opportunities, financial inclusion, and support to overcome social and gender barriers that limit their participation in decision-making and income-generating activities.
