The Forest Conservation Programme (FCP) is a global thematic programme of the IUCN Secretariat that works under a mandate provided by IUCN membership with a focus on delivering key transformations in the conservation, restoration and management of forest and tree-associated landscapes. The FCP works as a distributed team across several IUCN duty stations with the majority of the staff divided between its Gland-based Headquarters and its Washington D.C. office. It also directly links to, and supports coordination between a worldwide network of over 50 regional and country level forest officers, enabling it to add value to the work of IUCN members through both field-based and policy-orientated interventions.
The FCP’s programme of work is structured to create tangible linkages between field-based learning, national and sub-national policy implementation and national and international forest and land-use policy dialogue. In this respect, the FCP is an active member of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), The Forests Dialogue (TFD), and acts as secretariat for the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration. Its programme of work is centred around three mutually supporting themes of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR), Locally Controlled Forests (LCF) and Primary Forests. The FCP Director has institutional responsibility for the Forest and Land Use job family network designed to enhance country, regional and global collaboration across the secretariat. The FCP also has secretariat responsibility for the People in Nature knowledge product.
The monitoring and learning (M&L) officer will be responsible for coordinating the monitoring and learning components of the FCP project portfolio and overall FCP intersessional programme delivery, and ensuring these feed into the overall science, practice and learning strategies, support knowledge, communications and policy processes, and provides a basis for consistent project and programmatic review. In doing so, s/he will work closely with and support the Senior Programme Coordinator (SPC), FCP, and be expected to maintain close working relations with the FCP team to ensure synergies are made between FCP projects and other initiatives and that lessons learnt and outcomes are integrated into the programme’s work. The officer will also provide support to other programmes in the Nature Based Solutions (NBS) Group to support consistent and effective M&L systems are used throughout the group.
