We work through our international networks – of forest communities, science experts, policymakers, and finance and corporate leaders – to gather evidence, spark insight, and catalyse action to halt forest loss and improve human livelihoods dependent on forests. Please visit www.globalcanopy.org for more info. THE ROLE As Project Manager you will lead one of the key strategies within GCP's new REDD COMPASS (Community-powered Assessment of Ecosystem Services and Safeguards) Project funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). The project aims to scale the adoption and impact of community-based forest monitoring to help achieve equitable, efficient and effective REDD+. You will engage and grow GCP's global network of multi-disciplinary partners working in this space, convening the best of current community-based monitoring practices and methods, and together identifying gaps and opportunities to strengthen REDD+ MRV. You will understand the potential for emerging technologies to increase community engagement, and will stay on top of evolving trends. You will work closely with GCP's Policy Team to gather and share this information on a new digital platform integrated with the REDD Desk (www.theREDDdesk.org). You will work closely with GCP's field-based teams from communities in Guyana (see http://www.globalcanopy.org/projects/community-mrv) and Acre state in Brazil, testing new approaches, and considering how community-based monitoring can support REDD+ activities and standards at project, jurisdictional and national levels. And you will help organise workshops with policymakers at the UNFCCC and across all 3 major forest regions - with the support both of our local teams and project partners such as the Jane Goodall Institute. Finally you will coordinate the development of capacity-building tools and materials, to increase adoption of new technologies that can help scale the impact of community-based monitoring for REDD+ worldwide. We need you to have outstanding people skills, experience of community-based work in tropical forest countries, strong analytical skills and thorough knowledge of the evolving REDD+ policy space. You will need to be a positive, collaborative person that thrives on innovation and getting the job done. You will be committed to our goals as an organisation and to helping achieve our overall mission. For more information and to apply, visit http://globalcanopy.org/jobs
