OPPORTUNITY
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Improving Design, Evidence, and Learning (IDEAL) mechanism is looking for a Senior Advisor to support a 118/119 Tropical Forest and Biodiversity Analysis for the USAID Mission in Peru.
PURPOSE & NEED
As required by sections 118 and 119 of the Foreign Assistance Act, as amended, the analysis will examine the country-level tropical forest and biodiversity conservation needs and the extent to which USAID/Peru is currently addressing the actions necessary to conserve and sustainably manage tropical forests and biodiversity. The analysis and report recommendations will highlight strategic linkages and opportunities to integrate tropical forest and biodiversity conservation into priority development sectors, inform programming and help to strengthen the Mission's role in biodiversity conservation. The analysis will not generate original primary data, and is based on synthesis and analysis of existing information, coupled with in-country consultations and site-based visits.
