The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Senior Policy, Advocacy and Partnerships Consultant




About WWF
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-governmental organization founded in 1961 which works in the field of nature protection. Its mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. Our vision is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. Thus, it seeks to: save the planet by balancing the needs of human beings with those of other species that share the Earth, practice human conservation in the broadest sense, and instill in people, everywhere, a quiet respect, but not concealed, of nature and to balance that respect with a deep belief in human possibilities, inspiring others who can further the cause of conservation.
		
The context :
The WWF Africa Conservation Framework covering the period 2020 – 2025 seeks to move beyond business as usual and provide an opportunity to strengthen co-existence between people and nature. With its two core impact areas and six impact pathways including influential policy advocacy and transformative partnerships, WWF is looking at not only strengthening its policy and advocacy work, it is looking at building effective partnerships to deliver conservation impact at scale. This will include activating its Policy Cabinet, a sort of platform which is to provide strategic direction for policy agenda setting that will purposefully, constructively and proactively leverage policy making processes to promote social and environmental sustainability in Africa.  In the last few years we have seen the increasing interest of stakeholders in both global and national policy issues – the SDGs, the adoption of the new global biodiversity framework, the climate change discussions with the need to focus more on issues such as adaptation, nature based solutions, loss and damage and finance and the process for the development of a new global treaty to end plastic pollution. 

A great effort is needed to focus on collective and integrated delivery and implementation of multiple global and regional policies. Africa is a critical actor in all these processes and WWF has been a key stakeholder in the different processes. Unfortunately, WWF Africa country offices’ participation remains limited and this, in most cases, is due to inadequate human and financial resources. There is no doubt that from 2023, policy issues especially related to implementation of decisions from the different COPs (UNFCCC, CBD and CITES) will be at the forefront of conservation related conversations both globally and nationally.
