Building on his/her understanding of conflict and grievances related to natural resource management in the northern border areas (e.g. gold mining, farmer/herder conflicts, land tenure disputes, and deforestation), the expert will provide technical input for the development, coordination, and implementation of complex and diverse sets of interventions to produce the Result 2.2. expected outcomes. The Natural Resource Management, Resilience, and Conflict Expert will be based in Abidjan and report to the Chief of Party. S/he will collaborate closely with the M&E, program and grants, and finance and operations staff based in Abidjan and the project’s offices in the North, with regular travel to the northern border areas of Côte d’Ivoire.
