Integrated Lake Management project, Uganda

The Integrated Lake Management (ILM) project is a five-year initiative (1999-2004) funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and implemented by the Marine Resources Assessment Group (UK) Ltd and CARE International in Uganda. The project aims to improve livelihoods of the rural poor in lake dependent communities through the establishment of more effective local management of natural resources.

The ISDA must support and guide field activities in project target areas covering 13 districts around Lakes George and Kyoga. This will be achieved by working closely with ILM teams based in offices on Lakes George and Kyoga and their respective networks of partners in implementation. (S)he will promote best practice in institutional development and community based planning to support pro-poor natural resource management. Using knowledge gained through ILM knowledge and practice, the Adviser will closely track, inform and influence key areas of the national policy environment to add maximum strategic value to project activities and wider government initiatives.

Prefer candidate with an understanding of community-based natural resource management, particularly fisheries and experience of working in Africa, particularly Uganda or East Africa.
