CONTEXT
The Congo Basin is the second largest rainforest in the world and is home to an impressive wealth
of flora and fauna, ranging from isolated species (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus,
chimpanzee and gorilla) to endemic habitats (hot spots). The Congo Basin is one of the priority regions for biodiversity conservation because of its exceptional heritage and its high level of endemism (Colyn & Deleporte, 2004; Brooks et al., 2011; Dagalier et al., 2019). These ecosystems share a common value today and across generations. However, the growing interest in protecting its ecosystems is hampered by the context of underdeveloped countries, weak governance and lack of funding. Almost two years ago, WWF ROA decided to strengthen the Congo Basin Conservation Programme. As we enter the development phase of the Sub-Regional Conservation Strategic Framework, we are seeking to recruit a highly experienced fundraising consultant to design, plan and lead the initiative’s resource mobilization efforts
