CARE International In Uganda
(CARE) seeks to recruit two qualified Ugandan nationals for positions in a new
Forest Resources Sector Transparency (FOREST) Programme that is launched by
CARE in 2013 for a 5 year period.
CARE works with national partners to make sustainable improvements in the lives
of the very poor. An important area of engagement is to improve transparency,
accountability and responsiveness in governance of Uganda’s natural resources.
Uganda’s forest cover is reducing at an alarming rate and if this trend
continues unabated, Uganda will within a few decades be without any significant
forest cover. The forests are essential for the Ugandan economy and livelihoods
and deforestation and forest degradation contribute significantly to global
greenhouse emissions. Efforts to arrest the situation are clearly insufficient
and ineffective. There are connections between forest degradation, illegal
logging, encroachment and corruption. The FOREST programme sees civil society
as the key actor in effecting change in the forestry sector. The programme is
lead by a CARE FOREST Programme Manager and will be implemented in partnership
with a handful of key strategic civil society partners.
