BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund (EAMCEF) is a Trust Fund that was established as a mechanism to provide sustainable financing for effective conservation of biological resources in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. The Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund was initially conceived as a joint initiative of the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, the Board of Trustees, the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The Fund aims at providing long- term and reliable funding support to conservation<\/a> activities related to the promotion of biological diversity, improvement of ecological functions and sustainable use of natural resources in priority areas of the Eastern Arc Mountains. The Eastern Arc Mountains ecosystem forms a major portion of the Eastern Afromontane Region which is recognized globally as one of the 34 biodiversity<\/a> hotspots characterized by high concentrations of endemic species now under serious threat. Major mountain blocks of the Eastern Arc spread over fifteen districts in five regions<\/a> of Tanzania namely, Tanga (East and West Usambara and Nguu Mountains), Kilimanjaro (South and North Pare Mountains), Morogoro (Udzungwa, Ukaguru, Nguru, Rubeho, Malundwe, Mahenge and Uluguru Mountains), Iringa (Udzungwa Mountains) and Dodoma (Rubeho Mountains). Governed by a Board of Trustees, the Fund was officially registered in Tanzania<\/a> in June 2001 under the Trustees\u2019 Incorporation Act (Cap. 318 R.E 2002) and it operates as a not-for-profit Conservation Finance Trust organization with its day-to-day operations being run by the Endowment Fund<\/a> Secretariat. The Fund\u2019s Executive Director<\/a> is the Head of the Secretariat with the main administrative offices located in Morogoro Municipality.<\/p>\n

The Eastern Arc Mountains forests<\/a> are under considerable pressure due to various human activities as a result of increased population. Threats leading to biodiversity loss<\/a> include expansion of human settlements, shifting cultivation, forest fires, extraction of wood for commercial and domestic uses, gold mining, dry season grazing, extraction of non-wood forest products including honey, fruits, medicines, natural ropes, resins, mushrooms and game hunting. Effective control of the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation<\/a> now ongoing in the Eastern Arc Mountains can only be assured through the EAMCEF\u2019s unequivocal commitment to taking exceptional care of the Eastern Arc Mountains ecosystem and all stakeholders impacting positively\/negatively on its biological resources.<\/p>\n

Whereas requirements for professional manpower necessary for effective conservation<\/a> of the Eastern Arc Mountains are quite enormous, the staff line-up of EAMCEF is currently still modest. Thus, EAMCEF needs to recruit adequate and competent staff so as to increase and enhance its capacity to undertake its operations and programme<\/a> activities. In order for the conservation efforts to be sufficiently effective to secure and save the unique natural<\/a> heritage, the now vacant positions needs to urgently be filled by suitably qualified and competent professional staff as detailed below.<\/p>\n

The following requirements will apply to all the posts now available in the Endowment Fund<\/a> Secretariat<\/p>\n
