Business Development Facilitator

BUAC is a farmer organization based in Battambang province. The union was established and officially registered as a Union of Agricultural Cooperatives (UAC) on October 05, 2017. BUAC currently has 10 agricultural cooperatives (AC) members from 4 different districts in Battambang province including Sangke, Banan, Moung Russey and Ratanak Mundul districts. BUAC is led by a Board of Directors (BoDs) representing the 10 AC members, and the UAC is working closely with its AC members to jointly develop and operate common businesses on a daily basis.

BUAC is looking for a Business Development Facilitator (BDF) to implement activities supported by Uni4Coop’s Partnership for Agroecology Transition, Networking, and Efficient Resilience (PArTNER) project, which is funded by DGD (Belgian Government Funds) for 5 years from 2022 to 2026. The PArTNER project provides direct supports to farmer organization (FO) partners, with partial supports from partners and collaborators (NGOs, social enterprises, private companies, etc.). The project aims at enhancing FOs’ capacities in their business operation and management, promoting agroecology transition among its beneficiaries, strengthening their institutional functions, building market linkages for agroecological products, increasing access to finance, and improving gender equity in agricultural sector.
