Working with in-country partners, IRRI develops advanced rice varieties that yield more grain and better withstand pests and disease as well as flooding, drought, and other harmful effects of climate change.
IRRI is seeking to recruit a consultant who will support IRRI in developing a concept for the ‘Thailand sustainable rice landscapes performance monitoring system’ which will be based upon (i) the existing SRP/GAP++ Performance Indicators (PI) that measure on-farm impact and (ii) related landscape performance and resilience monitoring systems, for instances, Biodiversity International’s ‘Toolkit for the Indicators of Resilience in Socio-ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS)’, LandScale assessment framework, etc. that monitor the off-farm environmental impacts of agriculture (e.g., key indicators for chemical contamination, changes in landscape and agro-biodiversity). The system is expected to incorporate specifically the metrics and assess the performance of key interventions of interest implemented by other ISRL project partners (e.g. measures to be promoted in gender-responsive training developed under Activity 3 and other landscape- linked practices of the larger ISRL project and other partners) on key parameters at the landscape level (from farm to other down- or upstream systems).
The consultant will propose a set of off-farm indicators with desirable landscape outcomes, design and develop a guideline for pilot testing the proposed performance monitoring system, and assess the off-farm landscape impacts (on neighboring ecosystems and their multiple services) from the ISRL project interventions.
The design process would involve consultation and negotiation with national agencies, implementers, and local communities, which will be undertaken by IRRI and a local consultant, with guidance to be provided by the consultant.
This position can either be home-based or be based in our Bangkok, Thailand office. This consultancy role is open for international applications.
