JOB DETAILS:
Content Writer – Smallholder Dairy Farming
Overview
The Zambia Dairy Transformation Programme (ZDTP) has been working with smallholder and emergent dairy farmers in Copperbelt and Central Provinces since 2017. As part of its work the programme has been producing a monthly newsletter in English to share progress made by farmers and dairy cooperatives as well as advice to support other farmers to achieve the same results.

The ZDTP team will provide guidance and ideas for articles as well as supporting materials such as fact sheets and videos which can be used as a basis for an article.
The Content Writer(s) will be paid appropriately, either per article, or per edition of the newsletter.
