* Experience supervising the preparation of work plans and financial, logistical, and other documents required by USAID;

* Extensive knowledge of wildlife crime, including trade considerations, crime prevention, and criminal justice system issues;

* Prior experience working on USAID or other major donor-funded development programs within the Southern African context strongly preferred. Previous COP or DCOP experience is preferred;
