International Union for Conservation of Nature

BACKGROUND
Established in 1948, The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a membership Union composed of both government and civil society organizations. It harnesses the experience, resources and reach of its more than 1,300 Member organizations and the input of more than 10,000 experts. IUCN is the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it.
IUCN has had its operations in Tanzania for more than four decades working with many partners and supporters to implement a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects ranging from management of protected areas, forest ecosystems, coastal resources, aquatic ecosystems, and climate change resilience. IUCN/Tanzania, among other projects, is currently implementing the activity, “Scaling-up Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Resilience in Tanzania” (RESOLVE-NbS).
RESOLVE NbS focuses on the deployment of NbS to address challenges posed by changing climatic conditions to enhance the resilience of social and ecological systems. The activity targets on the ground implementation to demonstrate the contribution and impact of NbS in the implementation of Tanzania’s ambitious climate resilience goals as stipulated in the Tanzania’s NDC of reducing emissions between 30-35% by 2030 and restoring 5.2 million hectares by 2030. The priority sectors are biodiversity and natural resources management, business and climate finance.
Specifically, the project intends to:
i. Enhance awareness, capacity, and knowledge management for improved NbS planning, mainstreaming and implementation.
ii. Implement NbS for ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), disaster risk reduction and mitigation through pilot and scale-up projects and contribute to conservation, sustainable management, and restoration of natural ecosystems.
iii. Integrate gender-sensitive NbS and climate-smart planning into adaptation and disaster reduction policies, strategies, and plans.
Based on the above background, IUCN Tanzania is seeking to recruit a Driver/Logistics Support Assistant to support the execution of Resolve NbS project that will be implemented in Morogoro and Iringa regions.
