Our Approach to Safeguarding
Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.
We are looking for passionate and qualified consultants to :
- Analyse the current situation of indigenous seed systems and seed sovereignty in each of the four project countries.
- Review existing national and regional policies, laws, and regulatory frameworks affecting indigenous seeds, smallholder farmers, and agroecology.
- Examine the impacts of commercial seed systems, hybrid seeds, and corporate-controlled agriculture on biodiversity, food security, women, youth, and small-scale farmers.
- Assess the role of indigenous knowledge, women, and youth in seed preservation and climate resilience.
- Identify advocacy gaps, policy contradictions, and opportunities for reform in each country.
- Document best practices, successful policy frameworks, and advocacy approaches from other countries or regions that have effectively protected or promoted seed sovereignty.
- Produce evidence-based, advocacy-oriented recommendations tailored to each project country.
