Background: UNEP has obtained significant funding from the European Union (EU) for the implementation of an ambitious catchment-based natural resource management project along a 50km stretch of the Wadi El Ku, near El Fasher in North Darfur. The project seeks to strengthen livelihoods by increasing agricultural production and related value-chain activity through the more effective use and management of the local natural resource base. In doing so, the project will address one of the underlying drivers of localized conflict in Darfur, which is competition for scarce land, water and forest resources that support agricultural and agro-pastoralist livelihoods in the region.
Whereas the field activities will be carried out by a local partner, Practical Action (PA), UNEP will be responsible for higher level technical backstopping, documentation, punctual research and replication of the project results to a larger area.
The project’s goals will be achieved by working in partnership with government, civil society and community natural resource stakeholders at three levels. First, at the community level, to strengthen natural resource management practice and decision-making, and to expand available livelihoods options. Second, to link community level natural resource decision making to an improved system of catchment management in Wadi El Ku, which draws on recent developments in IWRM, ecosystems-based adaptation, and environmental governance. And third, to strengthen the capacities of state and regional institutions to support, sustain and replicate these improvements.
To this end, UNEP will recruit a Partnership Coordinator to coordinate relationship building at the three levels in the project. The Coordinator will work closely with UNEP theme specialists to ensure that their work is well linked to the main WEK stakeholders and beneficiaries. The Partnership coordinators will also work closely with a select group of international experts, with the project management and with the Practical Action field team.
