Fauna & Flora are looking to hire a consultant to deliver a training course and follow-up support for early career conservationists in the Caribbean. This opportunity will contribute to the ‘Building Caribbean civil society capacity in delivering sustainable financial strategies’ project in collaboration with Fauna & Flora and Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF).
This training will focus on strengthening the skills of early-career conservationists working within priority KBAs to design effective conservation projects and secure restricted funding by applying for small grants. The training is based on ‘Institutional Fundraising for Conservation projects’, developed by Birdlife International and re-printed with support from CEPF, and delivered under CEPF Grant no. 63400 ‘Building Capacity in Project Design and Proposal Writing in the Eastern Afromontane Hotspot’.
For the workshop, Fauna & Flora will solicit participants from four Caribbean CSOs associated with the project as well as from other local CSOs, Universities and members of the Fauna & Flora and CEPF networks, within eligible countries as identified by CEPF.
Participants will be given the opportunity to obtain substantive feedback on their projects, and by the conclusion of the workshop they will have prepared a draft proposal for funding, which they will finalise and submit to a funding agency.
The closing date for applications is March 22nd 2024. Interviews are likely to take place during the week commencing April 8th.
