JOB DESCRIPTION

PROJECT BACKGROUND

TRAFFIC’s mission, as described in our 2030 Strategy is to ensure that trade in wild species is legal and sustainable, for the benefit of people and planet. As the leading global trusted advisor on the complex challenges of trade in wild species, TRAFFIC plays a critical role in providing the evidence, solutions, and influence to galvanise change.

Over the coming decade, our strategy will focus on five priority areas, each with a defined objective to be achieved by 2030, and each with a detailed results chain that maps out the pathway to achieve our 2030 goals.

To operationalise our Strategy, TRAFFIC is scaling up our monitoring, evaluation and learning focus, so that we are continually assessing our performance and influence and making the necessary corrections to achieve our goals.
