Roma, Lazio, Italia FAO A tempo pieno
ORGANIZATIONAL SETTING

FISH4ACP is an initiative of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) contributing to food and nutrition security, economic prosperity, and job creation by ensuring the economic, social and environmental sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture value chains in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. FISH4ACP is implemented by FAO and partners with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). FISH4ACP seeks to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of ten fisheries and aquaculture value chains in ten OACPS member countries, making sure that economic improvements go hand in hand with environmental sustainability and social inclusiveness. It will give special attention to small and medium-sized businesses due to their potential to deliver economic and social benefits, especially for women and youth.
The FISH4ACP activities for the Lake Tanganyika sprat, sardine, and perch value chain (VC) in the United Republic of Tanzania were officially launched by the multi-stakeholder partnership Committee (MSP) on 16 May in Kigoma. An initial priority for the MSP falls under Outcome 1 – VC actors adopt improved processing and cold chain techniques. This Outcome includes activity 1.1.3: Pilot/demonstrate improved drying, /smoking and cold chain equipment/inputs with suppliers and processors, which is the focus of this Terms of Reference. To transport fish from boats to processing activities and to vendors, fishers and processors are currently using a type of wooden box, available in the region and co-opted it for their businesses. These basic wooden boxes do not fit the precise needs value chain actors have and represent food safety concerns. With improvements in the design specifically based on the needs of those who use these items on a daily basis, as well as an upgrade in materials to plastic instead of wood could lead to improvements in the handling of fish in the region. It has been estimated that the retail price of a plastic box would not be too much higher than that of the wooden ones and provide users with a longer life span. Moreover, as no manufacturer is currently producing such an item, efforts will need to be made to demonstrate an applicable design and ready market for the product to encourage local manufacturers to eventually supply the item. As such, this intervention needs to work on developing the supply and demand side of proposed box. To achieve this the affordability and availability of the final product must be considered. The starting point is developing a prototype that takes both the manufacturer and users' needs into consideration. REPORTING LINES
The incumbent will work closely with the FAO Tanzania. All reports will be submitted directly to the FAO Representative, Dar es salaam, Tanzania, and upon request to the Project Management Unit (PMU) on dates as may be mutually agreed during the contract negotiation.
The reports and product will be reviewed by a peer team to be constituted from FAO experts and Government representatives. The final report shall be submitted both in English and Kiswahili languages and submitted in soft copies. TECHNICAL FOCUS
In close coordination with FAO Representative, Tanzania, the National product Designer will lead and coordinate the collation, provision, designing of intended products and exchange of information related to the decisions taken by the FAO project and provide timely advice, analysis, reporting, information management, and general support to FAO Tanzania and FISH4ACP PMU. He/she will work closely with the FAO Representative Tanzania and consult the selected project partners to ensure that current findings and actions that are being delivered for FISH4ACP are further enhanced and integrated through this assignment. TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Conduct rapid assessment, with key stakeholders (fishers and processors) of the existing wooden and plastic boxes that are currently in use in Lake Tanganyika fisheries and come up with an improved design mock-up/prototype that better suits the needs of its users and food safety standards, keeping in mind affordability and availability of supplies.
  • Develop box specifications for carrying fish (onboard and offboard) and produce the agreed prototype by FAO Tanzania, Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, and FISH4ACP Project committee (MSP).
  • Propose innovative ideas and present the prototype idea (based on the existing wooden boxes used in the lake) to FAO, discuss the proposed design with users/customers (Lake Tanganyika stakeholders) and incorporate feedback.
  • Finalize the Design based on the feedback on the agreed sample prototype and develop manufacturing costs as well as a potential market price per unit.
  • Recommend and document the material selection linked to the design for manufacturing purposes, based on the national and international standard requirements on the sustainable use of plastic products for environmental conservation.
