Description |
The Center for International Forestry Research advances human wellbeing, environmental conservation and equity by conducting research to inform policies and practices that affect forests in developing countries. We are one of 15 centres within the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Our headquarters are in Bogor, Indonesia, and we have offices in Asia, Africa and South America. CIFOR is looking for a Scientist, Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS REDD+) In 2009, CIFOR started a multi-donor funded Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS-REDD+) in 12 countries. This GCS-REDD+ is a 6-year global comparative research project on first- and second-generation REDD+ activities in selected countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. The project consists of four components: national initiatives around policy processes and strategies (Component 1), sub-national demonstration activities, monitoring and reference levels, and knowledge sharing (Components 2 – 4). The overall goal of the project is to provide REDD+ policy makers and practitioner communities with the information, analysis and tools they need to ensure effective and cost-efficient reduction of carbon emissions with equitable impacts and co-benefits such as poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation – the ‘3E+’ criteria. The aim of the research is to identify how potential barriers and constraints in national REDD+ policy arenas can be addressed through policy design. The project will use comparative research to analyse the country-specific circumstances and factors that explain varying 3E outcomes from national strategies. The Scientist’s research will contribute to the development of policy-relevant conclusions on institutional design for specific country and regional contexts. The Scientist’s work will be integrated and supported by the GCS-REDD+ national REDD+ strategies component and will form part of CIFOR’s Forests and Governance Programme. The Scientist will be responsible to the Programme Director and will be under the day-to-day supervision of the Component 1 leader. General Duties and Responsibilities:
