Where possible, this position will provide assistance to TNC global and regional teams for scoping activities for potential Blue Bonds (sustainable financing via debt conversion) projects within the region. The Benguela Program Manager will work dynamically and effectively with government and non-government partners and coastal community stakeholders to support local conservation efforts and negotiate complex and innovative solutions The The role will also advance TNC’s work in support of livelihood resilience through key engagements with coastal fishing communities.
