REGIONAL PROGRAMME OFFICER (ASIA) ON TRADE & IPR

GRAIN is a small international NGO working to help strengthen farmers' and
local communities' control over agricultural biodiversity, especially in
developing countries. With offices in Asia, Europe and Latin America,
GRAIN's programme addresses trade liberalisation and genetic diversity in
agriculture; the corporate push for intellectual property rights on life
forms and local knowledge; alternative community rights; and the need to
make agricultural research and innovation systems more relevant to small
farmers. Our new Regional Programme Officer will be responsible for GRAIN's
work in Asia on intellectual property, community rights and trade. The work
entails: monitoring, networking and information activities at the regional
level; developing and implementing joint research projects with local
groups; and providing programme support to peoples' initiatives in the region.
