Vital Signs

TFCG are recruiting for two positions within the Vital Signs project.
The Vital Signs is a ground-breaking new monitoring system that seeks to provide near-real time data and diagnostic tools to inform agricultural development decisions and monitor their outcomes. Vital Signs metrics and indicators will verify that investments to improve food production also support healthy natural systems and robust livelihoods for smallholder farmers. Vital Signs meets a critical need for integrative, holistic measurements of agriculture, ecosystem services and human well-being. The system will quantify sustainability and provide tools to evaluate risks and trade-offs by pooling multi-scale data into an open-access online dashboard for policy makers, the private sector and the scientific community. Vital Signs in Tanzania is a partnership project between the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group and Conservation International. The project will operate for 3 years initially. Vital Signs is financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
