Junior Consultant, Cocoa Co-operative Organizational Strengthening Programme (CCOSP) Phase II – Data ownership pilot project
Fairtrade Foundation is recruiting a junior consultant to lead on a) developing guidelines and scoring criteria for union expressions of interest; b) develop and support implementation of a market engagement strategy for the data ownership pilot project of the CCOSP programme.
CCOSP phase II aims to see unions operate as professional and effective organisations leading to improved service delivery to members, market access, strategic investments and partnerships that enable cocoa farmers to progress towards sustainable livelihoods in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. In 2025, the project “Piloting Data Ownership with Cocoa Co-operatives in Ghana” co-funded by the ISEAL Innovation Funds and Mondelez will be launched under the CCOSP programme.
In 2024, a data ownership feasibility study was conducted for CCOSP which aims to determine if a viable and sustainable business model exists for cocoa unions to manage, market and sell access to their membership data, to outline this business model, and detail the necessary resources and capacities for adoption. The next stage is to test and further develop the model outlined in the feasibility study.
If you are interested in conducting this assignment, please submit your application to lea.berdah@fairtrade.org.uk including:
- A CV of the proposed consultant
- A financial proposal based on the activities listed in this ToR detailing the costs of the time of the consultant.
Please note this assignment will require the consultant to have knowledge of relevant data protection regulations in the UK and Ghana and extensive experience in data management/MIS in system design, assessment, gap analysis, implementation in low-resource contexts. Furthermore, the consultant will ideally have experience in co-operative/union strengthening initiatives especially first-hand experience of working with smallholder farmers and producer groups on data management.
The deadline for proposals is 28 February 2025.
Assignment timeline: April 2025-June 2025.
