Terms of Reference: Research and design guidance on scaling initiatives that improve smallholder livelihoods and sustainable land use to reduce deforestation

ISEAL is the global membership association for credible sustainability systems. We support ambitious sustainability systems and their partners to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. With our growing global network and our focus on credible practices, we drive impact and make markets a force for good. 

We are implementing a 4.5-year programme of work that aims to identify, pilot, learn and support scaling of promising market-led initiatives that create enabling conditions for sustainable land use for smallholders and their communities. 

We are looking to work collaboratively with our members and our wider networks to catalyse value chain actors, sustainability systems and other partners to work together to deliver this work. 

To support this project, ISEAL is looking to recruit a consultant for a 2 step process: 

  • To provide research, analysis and mapping of market-led initiatives that tackle deforestation through smallholder livelihood improvements and sustainable land use and design an approach for the most promising initiatives to be scaled.   
  • Following consultation with ISEAL members, to review & revise 2 promising initiatives. A consultation workshop with ISEAL Members is scheduled for Members Week in October. 

To apply, please submit your Expression of Interest to Suzanne Fogg suzanne@isealalliance.org (Project Manager) by Wednesday 7 August 2024.
