Agriculture and Nutrition Educator

Calling all beekeepers, horticulturalists, and at-home gardeners! Farmers in The Gambia are looking for your support as they strengthen the country’s food and nutrition security. Agricultural activities in The Gambia are traditionally completed during the short rainy season, which runs three to four months. Farmers are interested in learning new agriculture techniques to establish and improve dry-season vegetable gardens and tree nurseries.

Animal husbandry management practices, such as beekeeping and raising chickens, are also of interest and will improve nutrition and provide additional sources of income to households. As an Agriculture and Nutrition Educator, you will implement nutrition-sensitive agricultural projects. You and your farming colleagues will train women, young adults, and individuals with developmental and physical disabilities to generate agriculture-related income.
