GIZ Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor Jobs in Ethiopia
GIZ Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor Jobs in Ethiopia
The Sustainable Land Management Program (SLMP) is one of the Flagship programs of the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the Ethiopian government.
It has been designed under the long-term (2009-2023) Ethiopia Strategic Investment Framework for Sustainable Land Management (ESIF) and the Agricultural Sector Policy and Investment Framework (PIF).
Both are designed to strengthen domestic and foreign support as well as planning of investments that contribute to Ethiopia’s agricultural growth and development agenda for addressing issues related to the existing challenges related to land and water resources.
The European Union (EU) support to the Sustainable Land Management Project/EU support to SLMP (2016 - 2020) is an area-oriented landscape management project dedicated to increasing the productivity of land through implementing climate resilient sustainable land management technologies thereby improving the livelihood of targeted community contributing to the development and environmental goals of the flagship program, SLMP of Ethiopia.
The project follows a new approach that operates concentrating on geographically distinct priority areas known as ecoregions specifically the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) and Yayu coffee-forest Biosphere Reserve (YCFBR) areas named as Bale ecoregion (BER) and Yayu ecoregion (YER) respectively.
In both ecoregions, even the core zones are insufficiently protected from human activities and livestock movements while economic activities are allowed within defined limits in buffer and transitional zones.
Because these buffer and transitional zones are somehow densely populated, significant pressure is being exerted on the protected reserve areas.
The EU support to SLMP is working towards conserving the two ecoregions that has a benefit beyond the stated goal of the program in that both ecoregions have a global image and implication.
In order to fulfill the monitoring and evaluation needs for intended goals, the project needs to recruit proficient consultant/personnel with specific expertise as stipulated here under.
