Do you want to make a positive difference for the future of people and our common home, the Earth?
Working with WWF could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Around the world, people are waking up to the growing crisis of nature loss. They increasingly realize that nature
is our life support system. No one will be spared the consequences of its disappearance. At WWF, we are
helping to address this enormous global challenge.
Our employees come from diverse backgrounds and skill sets, ranging from human resources and finance to
advocacy and conservation science. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us
create a better future for people and wildlife.
What we do:
We are an independent conservation organization working to preserve the natural world for the benefit of people
and wildlife. Whether individuals, communities, businesses, or governments, we are part of a growing coalition
calling on world leaders to put nature on a path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore
natural habitats, halt the mass extinction of wildlife, and ensure that our production and consumption patterns
are sustainable.
As part of the implementation of the CIBEL project (Inclusive Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystems by
Local Communities), WWF is looking for a Consultant to propose and implement a technological design for a
product storage warehouse (NTFPs and cocoa) and support the appropriation of infrastructure management by
the cocoa farmers' cooperative and NTFP cooperative in the Ndongo area, Moloundou district, Boumba and
Ngoko department in the East region of Cameroon.
1. CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION
The CIBEL Project (Inclusive Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystems by Local Communities) whose overall
objective is to establish in Madagascar and the Congo Basin inclusive and sustainable protection systems for
natural environments and biodiversity for the benefit of the environment and populations, allows the
implementation in the Cameroon part (Ndongo zone), 06 themes namely: Zero deforestation cocoa,
Strengthening of NTFP and fishing value chains, Promotion of community forests (the three community forests
in the area), Establishment of community forests, Biomonitoring and Strengthening of local governance.
In a context of global biodiversity collapse, local communities living near threatened ecosystems are seeing
their vulnerability increase daily. To ensure the effectiveness and improve the social acceptability of
conservation programs, it is important to involve these communities in the measures implemented, so that they
can derive socio-economic benefits through access to natural resources or the maintenance of ecosystem
services. In three countries in the Congo Basin, through the CIBEL project, WWF France, WWF Gabon, WWF
Cameroon, and WWF Congo will support populations in preserving forest resources, promoting sustainable
economic activities, and strengthening the voice of civil society and local communities in decision-making
regarding natural resources.
