Since establishing the Africa Program in 2007, The Nature Conservancy’s vision in Africa is to work towards fostering a sustainable future for people and nature, partnering with indigenous communities, governments, and private sector across more than 22 million hectares on the continent. Our efforts are firmly rooted in people, leveraging scientific and technical expertise as we collaborate with key stakeholders to conserve and enhance Africa’s shared resources in the countries we operate. Together with our partners, we are witnessing critical milestones in integrated land and fisheries management, ocean and source water protection, energy development and sustainable food production, working together and strengthening our resolve in tackling global challenges such as climate change, habitat and biodiversity loss that stand to adversely impact the nearly 1.4 billion people that share Africa.

**WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER**:

In close collaboration with Director Human Rights in Conservation (global Equitable Conservation Team) they will be responsible for implementing human rights and environmental and social safeguards principles as proposed in the TNC Human Rights Policy and the TNC Environmental and Social Safeguards Framework.

**WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU**:
The Manager brings technical expertise and lived experience in Indigenous and community rights and equity across numerous priority focal areas connected to human rights and conservation in the region, including community participation and leadership, equality and non-discrimination, land tenure and access, security, gender and intergenerational equity, livelihoods, financial inclusion, human-wildlife conflict and market development. The Manager understands the promise and pitfalls of carbon sequestration and benefit-sharing, as well as protected are management, and they are able to navigate and articulate the tensions inherent in these global strategies to address climate change and reverse biodiversity loss in sub-Saharan Africa. They understand robust and culturally responsive monitoring and evaluation, and are comfortable with both qualitative and quantitative metrics. They know all pertinent UN rights frameworks, including the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and have a deep knowledge of Indigenous and community organization and claims-making in Africa. They advise country program teams on specific issues and are able to respond in a timely manner to questions and needs that arise.

The Manager builds on the deep experience of country programs and supports the Conservancy as a key partner in this space, building internal capacity and strengthening external partnerships in support of this work. Working closely with TNC IPLC teams in relevant country programs, across the Africa Region, and globally, they bring together guidance, best practices, case studies, templates, curricula and networking opportunities to support the adoption of key strategies and learning and sharing, to meet our commitments to respecting human rights in all our work. Working with Indigenous and community organizations, human rights organizations, donors, governments, academia, corporations and other non-profit organizations, they will help shift the paradigm of conservation through placing Indigenous and community rights and leadership at the center of our work at the regional level.
