|
Description |
World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s leading conservation organization, seeks a Sustainable Landscapes Team Leader candidate for an anticipated large USAID funded Forests and Deltas Program in Vietnam. This project will provide technical support to accelerate Vietnam’s transition to climate resilient, low emissions development through investments in reducing net emissions from forests, and enhancing resiliency of people, places, and livelihoods in the delta regions to short and long-term climate impacts.
The program will primarily invest in provincial and district level demonstration and capacity building, and share lessons learned to inform national policies and implementation. In addition to Government of Vietnam partners, the program seeks to enhance the capacities of Vietnamese NGOs to be active partners with USAID. Successful programs will implement proactive transition support toward increasing responsibilities of, and handover to, Vietnamese partner organizations.
The Forests and Deltas program will address both forest-related emissions and delta adaptation and disaster risk reduction because they share a common focus on improved land and water management. Success of this program will be judged by the extent to which emission reductions and increased climate change resiliency are achieved within the project time period, state-of-the-art capacities are transferred to Vietnamese counterparts, and policies and practices are put in place that will facilitate a long-term path toward climate resiliency and low emissions development.
