CNFA Moldova requires the services of an expert or local company to develop policies, procedures, and guidelines for three organizations working within the organic agriculture value chain of Moldova. The scope of work derives from an organizational capacity assessment conducted recently, with activities recommended for the organization’s growth, taking into account other assistance offered by F2F. The selected consultant or team is expected to work independently, with periodic meetings with other consultants working on related areas (if relevant) as well as the F2F Moldova team.
