About the Opportunity:
The proposed Tanzania Marine
Conservation Activity, recently retitled Heshimu Bahari, will
incorporate a series of interventions that support and strengthen
capacity for biodiversity conservation in a manner that i) reduces the
use of illegal and unsustainable fishing; ii) improves the governance
and management of coastal land and seascapes; and iii) improves policy
development and capacity to implement policies. These interventions
together will reduce threats to marine and coastal biodiversity in
Tanzania while moving Tanzanian institutions further on their journey to
self-reliance.
The Chief of Party (COP) will oversee all
strategic, technical and operational aspects for the anticipated
activity, which will seek to support and strengthen capacity for marine
biodiversity conservation through public sector and civil society
capacity building, private sector engagement, and improvement to the
overall enabling environment for Marine Protected Areas and Fisheries
Management. This is expected to be a five-year activity based in
Tanzania.
The COP will be responsible for overall leadership,
management, and technical direction of the project. As the project’s
leader, the COP will be the principal project planner, designer, and
implementer, and will act as the main point of contact between USAID,
ECODIT and partner organizations, ensuring timely communication and
collaboration and overseeing the submission of high-quality deliverables
that respond to USAID’s priorities and expectations.
