Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home, the Earth? Working with WWF could be the opportunity of a lifetime:

All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of nature loss. A growing realization that nature is our life-support system. And that nobody will be spared from the impacts of its loss. Here at WWF, we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.

What we do:

We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to business and government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainable.

The mission of the Department

For the Congo Basin countries to actively contribute to the Outcomes of some Practices (Wildlife, Forests, Food, Climate & Energy, Freshwater and Governance) implemented in their respective programmes, it is important to have a monitoring programme designed and implemented accordingly. Regarding new challenges and the need to continue and extend the monitoring programme to other developed goals and objectives in alignment with the Practices, the Congo Basin Biomonitoring Programme has been turned into an Impact Monitoring Programme. The programme has been built so that the implementation of some strategic axes are directly integrated into the day-to-day activities of field programmes for more efficiency. The adaptation made is supporting field programmes and countries in delivering conservation outcomes and impacts for an easy contribution to the Global Goals.

 

 

As the main strategic axis of the impact monitoring programme, the collection of reliable and structured data includes seven distinct and complementary components to better orientate, optimize and evaluate conservation activities and results. The monitoring of socioeconomic impacts is a key pillar of the data components. It is then essential to collect field, structure, and analyze socioeconomic data for the production of relevant results demonstrating impacts on local communities. In order to support the impact monitoring programme in filling this need, we are looking for a PhD Student – Socioeconomic Monitoring Intern.
