Responsibilities & Context

ESDO was established in 1988 with the aim of supporting poor and marginalized people affected by the devastating flood and gradually moving towards achieving a broader vision of achieving sustainable, secured, and resilient livelihoods for these poor and marginalized people through improving their overall sustainable development. For the last more than three and a half decades of its development journey, ESDO has set an outstanding example of a sustainable development model for the underprivileged communities of Bangladesh. ESDO has been working in the country’s primarily unserved and underserved locations, nurturing a community-focused participatory approach and people’s ownership. Consequently, the ESDO’s working area has already established an enabling environment. We have made notable achievements in livelihood improvement, food security and nutrition, education, women’s empowerment, health, the promotion of children’s rights, adolescent and youth engagement, and the rights of ethnic minorities. During this long span, we have adapted to the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services, especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Considering the government’s development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs, including a microfinance program, through a community-focused and people-centered approach to accomplish the government’s development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole. One of the most dynamic organizations, ESDO, is expanding its development interventions across 408 upazilas under 53 districts of Bangladesh, thereby reaching over 15 million impoverished and vulnerable individuals.

The Livelihood Officer (Agriculture) will play a pivotal role in supporting sustainable agricultural practices and enhancing the livelihoods of rural communities under ESDO’s Agriculture & Climate Project. The incumbent will focus on capacity building, resource management, and technical assistance to promote climate-resilient farming techniques and improve food security and income generation for target beneficiaries.

ESDO is inviting applications from interested qualified candidates for the position.
