1. Program Background:

ACEA Tunisia (Action Collaborative pour les Exportations Artisanales, or “Collaborative Action for the Export of Handicraft products”) is a two-and-a-half-year project implemented by FHI 360, funded by the U.S. Department of State. Its goal is to help essential oil artisans in Northwest Tunisia market and commercialize their products, and hence encourage this local economy. The region has not yet achieved the economic potential of the aromatic and medicinal plant resources abundantly present, for a host of reasons.

This project is helping to empower artisans and local communities, by guiding and advising them through Clustering. Members of the WIKI PAM Cluster meet in workshops and work in groups to learn and share various skills. Among these skills are Research and Development. ACEA is hiring a local research & development specialist to carry out several tasks as listed in the table below.

2. Objective of Consultancy:

Within the framework of initiating and assisting the development of the “WIKI PAM” Cluster of natural extracts in northwest Tunisia, the R&D Specialist will be overseeing the activities of the R&D Working Group. The latter is a sub-group composed of 10 to 20 cluster members (including representatives of laboratories, associations of artisans, universities, regional and national public sector agencies, etc.) working together to identify and solve research and development problems linked to the medicinal and aromatic plants value chain in northwest Tunisia. The R&D specialist will be responsible of the overall assistance and guidance of the group to achieve its goals and implement established action plans.

3. Tasks and Deliverables:

Deliverable: Monthly progress report highlighting key achievements and work progress with attached annexes as justification including meeting notes, mission reports, power point presentations, email exchanges, training materials and/or training evaluationresults.
