  • University degree in a relevant field (preferably agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, economics).
  • At least 3 years of work experience in one of the thematic focus areas: agriculture, climate change mitigation and adaptation, value chain promotion or water resource management.
  • At least 2 years of experience in international development cooperation.
