Chemonics International Inc, a U.S. based international development consulting firm, seeks a Private Sector Partnership Specialist for the USAID Heshimu Bahari (Respect the Ocean) Project. The USAID/Tanzania Heshimu Bahari (Respect the Ocean) Activity is a five-year project that aims to improve the ecological resilience and productivity of Tanzania’s high marine biodiversity areas. Tanzania’s coral reefs are among the world’s fifty most climate-resilient reefs based on biological and oceanographic characteristics, and Tanzania’s marine and coastal ecosystems support a diverse range of coral reefs, seagrasses, open-ocean pelagic habitats, and mangroves. Not only do the ecosystems support species such as dugongs, sea turtles, and sharks and rays, but they also support a variety of livelihoods such as artisan fishing, aquaculture, and marine/coastal-related tourism activities. Overfishing, poorly planned infrastructure projects, and climate change all threaten not only these ecosystems and their fauna and flora, but also livelihoods and food security. These obstacles, together with the lack of a functional marine management area (MMA) framework, underdeveloped governance systems, insufficient funding, and an unincentivized private sector, severely limit effective management and measurable impact in marine biodiversity conservation.
To help address these challenges, Heshimu Bahari aims to establish an enabling environment and science-driven framework for sustainable MMA and wild-caught fishery co-management by government, communities, and the private sector. The Activity has four integrated objectives:
The Private Sector Partnership Specialist will facilitate interventions that increase private sector investment and engagement in marine protected areas and fisheries management. He/she will work to incentivize private sector investment and assess and share investment opportunities that support communities and ecosystems. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
The position will be based in Dar Es Salaam, reporting to the USAID Heshimu Bahari Deputy Chief of Party.
