Climate Change Specialist


MADAGASCAR / Azafady

Azafady seeks a qualified and experienced specialist in climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies suitable for implementation at the community level in south east Madagascar – one of the top three countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change in the world.

The specialist will work alongside Azafady’s Conservation & Environment and Project Development departments in Fort Dauphin, Madagascar, for a period of 12 months, and will be responsible for reviewing the organisation’s current strategy and activities in the field of capacity building and risk mitigation as related to climate change across all four of the organisation’s project spheres – sustainable livelihoods, conservation & environment, community health and construction. Preliminary desk research into the national and local context is expected to be carried out by the specialist prior to arrival in Madagascar on account of local limitations with information technology.

Send CV and cover letter to samm@azafady.org. Shortlisted applicants will have an interview with the Madagascar team by phone and with the London team in person.

The deadline for applications is Monday 20th August 2012.

Expires: Aug 21, 2012
