Do you have a passion for promoting sustainable practices and protecting the environment?

IUCN, in collaboration with Grid Arendal, is seeking consultants to support us in delivering Effective Capacity Building for the Global Plastics Treaty in Africa, generously supported by Norad.

We are searching for talented individuals to conduct an analysis of legislative and institutional framework and plastics policy effectiveness assessment for several African countries, including Senegal, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, and Cabo Verde.

Our goal is to produce a comprehensive report with actionable strategies for enhancing legislative and institutional frameworks surrounding plastics, while promoting circular economy principles and aligning with global standards for ecological stewardship.

As a consultant, you will utilize various sources and engage with stakeholders such as civil society organizations, government officials, private sector entities, and consumer groups, to gather valuable insights and contribute to the development of policy recommendations.
