Washington DC, United States Management & Engineering Technologies International, Inc. Full time

Management and Engineering Technologies International Inc., in support of the United States Forest Service (USFS), is seeking to recruit a full-time Technical Advisor for Ghana to support in-country implementation of a new timber trafficking program.
In recognition of the serious threats posed to people and the environment by the illegal harvest and trafficking of timber, Ghana has enacted high-level policies to curtail the flow of illegal timber from their territories (e.g. engagement under the voluntary partnership agreement with the EU). In addition to being illegal, the level of harvest of targeted species such as West African Rosewood, is highly unsustainable, and negatively impacts local communities who depend on the forests and intact ecosystems, for their livelihoods.
As part of the response to address timber trafficking in Ghana, the USFS has been requested to provide technical and logistical support to strengthen the capacity of in-country stakeholders to achieve their policy objectives. In partnership with national government and non-governmental actors, the USFS will implement activities in Ghana focused on the following objectives:

# Strengthened ability of Ghanaian Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to implement robust 3 rd party monitoring of timber harvest and trade
# Enhanced wood identification methodologies and resources - allowing for improved field-based identification and documentation of illegal timber

In collaboration with the USFS International Programs office in Washington, DC, and the USFS West Africa Regional Advisor based in Accra, the USFS Technical Advisor for Ghana will be recruited to manage timber trafficking program implementation, maintain close relationships and strong communication with government partner staff, as well as with key members of the NGO community. S/he will coordinate with relevant technical support staff and represent the timber trafficking program at national and/or regional, where appropriate.

In particular, s/he will be the main liaison with government partners to receive comments/feedback on draft documents developed through the program including with support from USFS technical experts.

Assists the USFS West Africa Regional Advisor to schedule and coordinate project activities, including organizing necessary workshops, trainings and meeting logistics;
Monitors projects to ensure they meet milestones and goals per their scope, timeline, and budget;
