Social Science Graduate Intern (Qualitative Analysis, Portuguese Language)
In 2008, CARE and WWF joined forces in Mozambique to reduce poverty and conserve biodiversity in what later became the Area of Environmental Protection, Primeiras e Segundas (P&S). The CARE-WWF Alliance invested in a 2008 baseline and 2014 midline household survey. After a decade of implementing a variety of development and community-based conservation interventions across the landscape, an end-line household survey is being completed in September 2018 in select project sites. The household survey will be complemented by qualitative focus groups designed to triangulate findings from quantitative anal-ysis, understand pathways of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) impacts in communities and households, and understand what else could have contributed to more sustainable natural resource management and household well-being. This evaluation seeks to answer the following questions:
- What impacts have community-managed fisheries, mangroves, and forests had on community food security and wealth??
- How do impacts vary… between female and male-headed households? … and between communities that participated in both CBNRM and development interventions compared with those that participated in one, the other or none?
WWF-US currently is seeking a Graduate Social Science Intern to support preliminary qualitative data analysis for the CARE-WWF Alliance.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s leading conservation organization, seeks a Senior Program Officer for the Northern Great Plains (NGP) Program’s Tribal Sustainable Financing Initiative. The NGP Program works across a five-state region with private, public, and tribal partners. Our vision is a future where thriving prairies and an abundance of wildlife contribute to the economic and cultural sustainability of the people who live in the Northern Great Plains. We work with private landowners, US government entities, and tribes.
In 2013, WWF and tribal partners identified the lack of stable and sufficient funding as one of the biggest challenges facing tribal wildlife programs. This negatively impacts the ability to hire and retain staff and build comprehensive wildlife conservation programs. The Tribal Sustainable Financing Initiative began in 2015, led by a Tribal Working Group, to explore opportunities to improve long term sustainable financing of tribal wildlife conservation in the Northern Great Plains. The Working Group has evaluated and prioritized specific strategies (US government funds, tourism, hunting, and conservation trust funds) to improve sustainable financing for tribes’ conservation efforts.
The Senior Program Officer will be the official coordinator of the Initiative, supporting the Working Group to implement the prioritized strategies and secure funding to move the strategies forward. A vital first step to achieving the Initiative is mobilizing interested tribes across the NGP to take part and develop a shared regional vision. With the rest of the Working Group, the coordinator will organize interested tribes and build momentum and actions in pursuit of a shared vision for regional wildlife conservation. The coordinator will also work with WWF team members engaged with tribes on bison and black-footed ferret restoration.
