JOB ADVERTISEMENT

The Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) through the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment (MGEE) has received financing from the World Bank towards the implementation of the Transforming Landscapes for Resilience and Development (TRALARD) II Project, and therefore intends to apply part of the funds towards the recruitment of Project Implementation Support Staff. The TRALARD II Project will be implemented over a 5-year period from January, 2026 to December, 2030 and will cover 32 districts; four (4) on the Copperbelt, five (5) in Luapula, eight (8) in Muchinga, five (5) in Northern and ten (10) in Southern provinces of Zambia. The TRALARD II Project is designed to combat landscape degradation, build community resilience to climate shocks such as droughts and floods, and advance Zambia’s 2030 goal of becoming a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive economy.

The TRALARD II Project will support the implementation of a jurisdictional Emissions Reduction Programme (ERP) in Muchinga Province to act as an umbrella program that will leverage resources from TRALARD II and other relevant initiatives to attract emission reductions payments from carbon markets to generate additional financing that can be re-invested in the landscape to improve rural livelihood. This is based on successful experience of Zambia Integrated Forest Landscape Project (P161490) and Eastern Province Jurisdictional Sustainable Landscape Program – Emissions Reduction Project (P155827).

The Ministry seeks to recruit suitably qualified and experienced persons to submit their expression of interest / application for the following two (2) years renewable employment contract:
