Community Forest Lead, Zambia


World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world's leading conservation organization, seeks a Community Forest Lead candidate for the anticipated USAID-funded Community-based Forest-management Program for REDD+ Readiness (CFP) in Zambia. The CFP will utilize a range of approaches to improve effective and sustainable management of forested areas in Zambia, with an end goal of strengthening the Government of the Republic of Zambia's (GRZ) Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) strategy.
USAID's new Global Climate Change (GCC) program for Zambia will encompass several key approaches, including: 1.Research, policy analysis, and dialogue to inform the REDD+ strategy; 2.Capacity building of civil society and local communities to engage with the REDD+ process and promote community rights to manage and benefit from forest resources; 3.Capacity building of the Zambia Forestry Department, particularly at the district level, to support community management of forest resources and implementation of pay-for-performance programs; and 4.Reduction of forest carbon emissions through improved forest management, development of alternative or improved livelihoods, and adoption of improved technologies.
The CFP is expected to contribute to the USAID/Zambia's Climate Change Program Objective of improving natural resource management in the following ways: 1.Improved Livelihoods in Forest-dependent Communities 2.Improved Joint Management of Natural Resources, Particularly Forests 3.Strengthened Government Capacity to Develop Policies & Plans with Stakeholders for REDD+ &EC-LEDS 4.Technologies for Addressing Climate Change Adopted

Within these PFMAs, CFP will utilize sustainable methodologies of joint forest and natural resource management between the GRZ and communities. The Program is also expected to collect and analyze empirical data on carbon stocks within the PFMAs to develop recommendations for national-level GRZ decision makers. The program will be used as a replicable and scalable model of sustainable natural resource management that prepares the GRZ and communities for direct pay-for-performance programs and a diversification in income-earning opportunities.
