Our vision is a world where wetlands are treasured and nurtured for their beauty, the life they support and the resources they provide. Wetlands International is seeking a Project Officer to implement an EU DEVCO funded programme aimed at up-scaling community resilience. In Uganda, the project will focus on demonstrating different models for scaling-up Ecosystem based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) with a specific objective of Strengthening Integrated Risk Management and inclusive risk governance through the scaling up of Eco-DRR implementation and improved river catchment management that is risk informed, gender and ecosystem-sensitive
The programme will be focused in Aswa Catchment in North/North East Uganda. Activities will be implemented at National, District and community Levels in partnership with Consortium members. The overall rationale for the combination of community-level and catchment-level activities is based on the Landscape Approach to Disaster Risk Reduction. In order to ensure that the growing portfolio of projects is effectively implemented, coordinated and managed, Wetlands International seeks to strengthen its technical staff capacity in Uganda. Additional technical capacity would also enable Wetlands International to further develop new initiatives, strengthen its partnership and to expand its work in this critical sector.
