Support internal project performance reviews and continuous improvement initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

Excellent communicator with experience producing high-quality written deliverables

Ability to engage a wide range of stakeholders, including private sector, NGOs, and research bodies

Familiarity with digital tools, geospatial data, or biodiversity monitoring tech is an advantage
