Hanoi, Vietnam WVI Full time

**Project Technical Specialist
- Local Value Chain Development & Inclusive Market Systems Development (LVCD/iMSD) - THRIVE 2030 project**

**Background**

World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization working to improve the quality of life of people, especially children who are marginalized and living in poverty. World Vision helps all who are in need, regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity or gender. As a child-focused organization, WVI Vietnam’s work focuses on children, ensuring they are protected and their basic needs are met. World Vision International in Vietnam (WVIV) has been funded by 13 support countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Australia. Funding of WVI Vietnam consists of sponsorship program funding (70%) and Private Non-Sponsorship (PNS)/grants (30%). WVI Vietnam employs about 400 staff, of which 99% are Vietnamese nationals.

WVIV is operating in 25 Area Programs (AP) in 4 zones: North 1 (Dien Bien, Ha Noi, Hai Phong), North 2 (Thanh Hoa, Hung Yen, Quang Ninh), Central (Quang Nam, Quang Tri, and Da Nang), and South (Quang Ngai, Ho Chi Minh, DakNong). WVIV’s AP usually focuses on one administrative district of a province which populated by ethnic minority people with high rates of poverty. A uniqueness of WVI Vietnam’s Development Program Approach (DPA) is that AP team members are based at the district level where the AP is located, which enables them to work closely with government partners and communities on a daily basis. Besides the APs, WVIV is also implementing different Special and Grant Projects to meet the specific needs of vulnerable children in both AP and non-AP areas.

Under the support of World Vision United States (WVUS), WVIV will implement THRIVE 2030 - Building Secure Livelihoods (BSL) Project in 25 existing and 6 potential APs, with the project goal: “Households and communities build improved, resilient, and sustainable livelihoods for child well-being” and four main outcomes; (1) Positive behaviour change and household transformation to an Empowered Worldview; (2) Improved access to financial services for Savings for Transformation (S4T) Groups; (3) Profitable and sustainable enterprises established for household income security through Local Value Chain Development (LVCD); and (4) Improved delivery and quality of interventions to maximize impact for households. The project aims to improve economic empowerment and the accessibility of financial services for the most vulnerable households in target communities. The THRIVE 2030 will be implemented under the umbrella of WVIV’s Livelihoods Technical Program and Micro Finance Unit’s operation. The project duration will be divided two phases: The first phase is from 2024 to 2027 and the second phase is from 2028 to 2030.

To provide technical support to THRIVE 2030 project in the areas of Local Value Chain Development/ Inclusive Market Systems Development (LVCD/iMSD) for the selected on-farm and off-farm commodities, linking farmers to sustainable markets, liaising with value chain actors and supporters, and exploring opportunities for value addition to improve the well-being of children.
