About the position
We are seeking a coordinator who will work with the project: ”Improving climate adaptation of sustainable livelihoods with capacities for biodiversity governance through Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, Democratic Republic of Congo”.

One element of the work will be the monthly project meeting between UCC and SLU. Tasks for this include distributing material in advance of the meetings, taking notes, and being able to translate as needed between French and English during the meeting. Assisting the project members in getting reports and deliverables done on time, and properly archived will be another task. There will be occasions where translations between French and English (both written, and during conversations) will be needed. For this, familiarity with DR Congo, or Francophone Africa would be helpful.
