**Call for Expression of Interest (EOI)**

**Consultant to assess progress and learning review for agriculture/ rice development project (TRVC)**

**BACKGROUND**

**_ About SNV Netherlands Development Organisation_**

SNV is an international not-for-profit development organisation, working in more than 25 countries in Africa and Asia. SNV is a mission-driven global development partner, rooted in the contexts and societies where we work. And that mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems to enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all. Our global team of advisors use their specialist expertise to facilitate sustainable change in the livelihoods of millions of people living in poverty.

**_Lessons learned at SNV_***

‘Lessons learned’ refers to the learning gained from the process of performing a project. It is a core part of project management and essential for quality assurance. It relates directly to understanding the effects of project activities, successes, failures, and any needed improvements.

**_About the TRVC project_**

Funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the project “Transforming the rice value chain for climate resilient and sustainable development in the Mekong delta (TRVC)” is implemented by SNV, Netherlands Development Organisation, in 3 provinces of An Giang, Dong Thap and Kien Giang. Using Pay-for-Results (PfRs) mechanism, TRVC Project incentivizes and attracts the participation of private enterprises in the Rice Value Chain as competitors, aiming to scale-up innovative technologies to achieve higher economic outcomes for smallholder farmers (SHFs) and all Rice Value Chain (RVC) actors, improve rice quality and inclusive social values while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating environmental footprints as co-benefits. The overall objective of the project is to facilitate the transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient rice production practices. This transformation aims to support the sustainable development of the rice value chain in the upper Mekong Delta. To achieve this goal, the project has identified three key pathways: Pathway 1 - Climate-Smart and Low-Carbon Rice Production, Pathway 2 - Inclusive Rice Production Markets and Pathway 3 - Low-Carbon Enabling Environments.

The project aims to facilitate a transition to low-emission rice production on 200,000 hectares by 2027, contributing to MARD’s national goal of 1 million hectares. Competitors who meet greenhouse gas reduction targets verified by independent verifiers will receive a cash incentive at the end of each cropping season. Additionally, support is provided to enhance farming practices and inclusivity within the supply chain, ensuring equitable benefits for men, women, and persons with disabilities across the community. In 2024, nine competitors are participating in the TRVC project for the Summer-Autumn 2024 crop (Crop 1) across the three provinces. This season involves 1,720 household representatives managing 6,256 hectares across 2,563 fields. These competitors have established agreements with 12 cooperatives, 27 farmer groups (informal associations of farmers that come together for a common purpose, such as sharing knowledge or resources), and 175 individual SHFs to provide essential services and resources, including production-consumption linkages.

Smallholder farmers have improved access to critical resources and services such as capital (e.g., loans, savings, grants), machinery and equipment (e.g., tractors, irrigation systems), seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs. They also benefit from training, capacity-building programs, extension services, and market information. Input procurement is facilitated through various payment methods, including immediate payment, credit with payment at harvest, or a combination of both. 1,720 households in Crop 1 have implemented the interventions they committed to and planned for their fields, adopting low-carbon farming practices such as reducing plant density, minimizing fertilizer usage, exploring fertilizer substitution, employing Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) techniques, and removing straw.

As of September 2024, most households have completed harvesting, with a few expected to finish by late September due to late planting. Data from Crop 1, including GHG emission reductions and profit margins, is being collected and analysed.

**OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT**

SNV is seeking an agriculture research consulting firm or group of qualified consultants (herein Consultant) for designing and conducting the assessment of results and learnings of the Summer-Autumn crop 2024 - the very first crop of TRVC.

Under the close coordination and supervision of TRVC’s Team Leader and MEL Advisor, the Consultant will design and conduct the Assessment of the 1st crop’s results and learning. Crop results include quantitative and qualitative ass
