Project Assistant
IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature, helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. IUCN works on biodiversity, climate change, energy, human livelihoods and greening the world economy by
supporting scientific research, managing field projects all over the world, and bringing governments, NGOs, the UN and companies together to develop policy, laws and best practice. IUCN is the world?s oldest and largest global environmental organization, with more
than 1,200 government and NGO members and almost 11,000 volunteer experts in some 160 countries. IUCN?s work is supported by over 1,000 staff in 45 offices and hundreds of partners in public, NGO and private sectors around the world.
The Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) of IUCN that coordinates the implementation of the Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Program (ESARP) is based in Nairobi under an Agreement between IUCN and the Government of Kenya. The BDR Karamoja
project is one of the projects within ESARP. The project is financed by European Commission Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO) through Action Against Hunger (ACF). The project is a response to an assessment carried out in 2011 that highlighted the need for the
completion and implementation of an Integrated Land and Water Resources Development and Management Plan that was developed in order to sustainably respond to water demands in agriculture, livestock production, human consumption and ecosystems. The project seeks to improve understanding of the status of the natural resources, and the underlying causes of vulnerability in the area of Okok sub-catchment, improve institutional capacity of local people to
develop and implement natural resources management plans to address the identified causes of vulnerability and degradation, and advocate for integrated natural resources management within policy forums and region-wide learning groups. The project will link with ongoing project on building drought resilience in Kenya (Lower Tana sub catchment), and Uganda (the Upper Aswa-Agago sub catchment) which is focusing on the improvement of water and land management by local communities and government. In addition, it will also build on interventions undertaken which provided the basis for further action in improving natural resource management to improve disaster risk reduction.
