This opportunity is an open call for interest and is contingent on contract award, which is expected to be confirmed in June 2024.
OPPORTUNITY
This is a great opportunity based in Kenya for a seasoned Chief of Party (CoP) who is seeking their next fulfilling opportunity focusing on marine conservation and sustainable fisheries management in Eastern and Southern Africa.
If yes, please submit your CV and expression of interest for an upcoming USAID-funded opportunity, Conserving the Western Indian Ocean Activity.
PURPOSE & NEED
The USAID-funded Conserving the Western Indian Ocean Activity solicitation is expected to be released in November 2023 with an award date by June 2024. It will be a 5-year activity and expected to be managed out of the USAID Kenya/East Africa Mission. The target countries may include Kenya, Somalia, the Seychelles, Comoros, South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Mauritius, and Madagascar.
The Activity’s goal is to promote the recovery and resilience of marine biodiversity and coastal communities in the Western Indian Ocean with the aim to achieve a sustainable Blue Economy and protect 30% of marine areas by 2030 in the Western Indian Ocean.
In support of reaching this goal, you will lead such illustrative efforts as designing a strategy to strengthen a marine protected areas regional network to maximize ecological productivity, recovery and resilience. You will coordinate with Environmental Incentives’ Home Office and the Activity’s field team of experts to identify challenges to fisheries management and design approaches that will result in more sustainable fisheries management. Moreover, the team will lead in the establishment of extension services for community co-management of marine areas, guaranteeing inclusion and alternative livelihood opportunities across sectors- public, private and academia. Through strengthening intergovernmental coordination, your team will leverage policy and government interventions to combat the threat of illegal distant water fleets and criminal networks in the Western Indian Ocean fishing industry.
