IUCN
Tanzania is seeking a motivated Intern to support the implementation of
the Forest component of the PLUS and RESUPPLY Projects.
The
Stabilizing Land Use Project is being implemented in Tanzania, DR Congo,
Ghana and Uganda. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for the
Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) of
the German Government for a period of 3 years (2017-2020) and it is
aimed at demonstrating the benefits of conservation and efficient land
use in targeted landscapes in the project countries through better use
of Protected Area categories V and VI models (or other appropriate
conservation mechanisms); facilitate alignment with and integration of
project outcomes. The programme will build on existing initiatives to
facilitate conservation of biodiversity and forest ecosystems at
different levels in each country. Lessons and knowledge capturing and
dissemination will be mainstreamed in the implementation process. In
Tanzania, the project is being implemented in the Kilombero Valley in
partnership with the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and linked
effectively to IUCN’s SUSTAIN-Africa programme.
Restoration in
supply chains (RESUPPLY), is a project developed by the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) funded by the German Ministry
for the Environment that will determine landscape restoration
opportunities, costs and benefits in three supply chains in three
different landscapes in Tanzania, Ghana and Peru. The assessment will be
undertaken jointly between the companies and IUCN (and local partners)
with regular input from the smallholders’ suppliers, and other
stakeholders when relevant, over a period of 18 months. The project will
use the Restoration Opportunity Assessment Methodology (ROAM) in the
commodity supply chain. Applying ROAM will help companies, smallholders,
local communities, and NGOs understand: restoration needs; which areas
are suitable for restoration; which interventions best meet multiple
needs; and what public and private financing is required to advance
restoration actions. In Tanzania, the project is being implemented in
the Kilombero Valley in partnership with the Kilombero Sugar Company
(KSC) and African Wildlife Foundation (AWF).
