Network coordinator (AfricaAdaptNetwork)

The AfricaAdapt Network is a leading initiative dedicated to knowledge sharing for climate change adaptation in Africa. It hosts a community of over 500 researchers, policy-makers and practitioners, approximately 80% of whom are based in Africa. The Network combines on-line technologies with face-to-face gatherings and print-based publications to facilitate the sharing of the latest research and community perspectives on climate change impacts and adaptation.

AfricaAdapt seeks to appoint a Network Co-ordinator with a range of technical and management skills and practical experience in the area of knowledge sharing/management, communications, marketing and organisational development. The Network Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating the day-to-day implementation of the AfricaAdapt work programme, working closely with a set of decentralised Knowledge Sharing Officers (charged with day-to-day engagement with network members) and implementation teams based in partner organisations across Africa.

The Network Co-ordinator will be based at ENDA Energy Programme offices in Dakar, Senegal. ENDA is the new managing organisation of the Network. The Network Co-ordinator will convene the network’s management group (consisting of Programme Manager and management representatives from each partner organisation) to ensure oversight of implementation activities.
