This three-year project (2025-2027) builds on and expands the preceding project SRVC (2021-2024).
The SRVC II project is a comprehensive agricultural value chain development (VCD) project, working along selected agricultural value chains in the horticulture and oilseeds sub-sectors. The project aims to strengthen private sector development, supply chain management and post-harvest management.

In addition to and beyond selected value chains, the project aims to support federal partners with agricultural policy development and inter-sectoral coordination for Ethiopia’s agricultural sector to fulfill its potential to provide food security, employment and supply high quality food to local and international markets.

For the development and operation of this project, this advertisement seeks a senior Ethiopian coffee expert with extensive technical skills and work experience with Ethiopian and international private sector actors.
