Experts
Dans le cadre d'un appel d'offre de l'UE nous recherchons 4 experts qui seront basés à Bruxelles pour 4 ans. Il s'agit de mettre en œuvre la F4 facility. Les candidats intéressés peuvent me contacter avant le 12/07/2019.
The main task of F4 Facility will consist in mobilising a high-level set of expertise to increase analytical capacities in the forest sector with a view to implementing EU obligations and commitments towards forests (or EU cooperation policy in the area of forest).
The F4 will serve as a platform for dialogue and exchange as well as practical cooperation to address the interlinkages between development, poverty reduction, trade, climate change, biodiversity and forest. F4 is based on two mutually reinforcing pillars: on the one hand a platform for policy dialogue and knowledge exchange and on the other hand a source of technical and financial support to implement forest-related programmes.
Based on principles such as: i) avoid fragmentation, ii) be multi-dimensional and iii) highlight and express EU key interest and policies, the F4 Facility will work in close relationship with Unit C2 (environment, natural resources and water) at DG-DEVCO to enhance the overall coherence, coordination and visibility of EU interventions/actions targeting forests.
Specifically, the F4 Facility will constitute a team of experts that will provide technical assistance to the Commission staff (Commission Headquarter in Brussels and EU delegations, as appropriate) and partner countries to improve the quality of forest-relevant programmes or activities at any stage of their cycle (negotiation, programming, identification, formulation, implementation and evaluation). The Facility will be able to address the full spectrum of the forest sector from sustainable forest management and conservation to trade and consumption aspects, by developing sustainable value chain analysis through a holistic approach, looking extensively at economic, social and environmental indications. This analysis will aim at providing information on the inclusiveness and sustainability of forest value chains to foster investments. In this context, particular attention will be given to the role of private sector (smallholder farmers, MSMEs) as a driver of inclusive and sustainable forest sector growth and to enhance civil society ability and capacity to participate in the decision-making and monitoring process. The Facility will also have to be able to assess and develop policies/strategies (reforms, governance, legal framework, institutional strengthening, financing plan, fiscal incentives) within the forest sector as well as sectors that may have an impact on forests, like agriculture, infrastructure, mining.
