INTRODUCTION
Mwambao,
a Tanzanian NGO registered in 2010, has emerged as a leading actor in
facilitating community-based marine management in Zanzibar as well as in
north-eastern Tanzania working with a number of key international
partners. The team has expanded significantly in recent years in terms
of funding, geographical spread, and diversity of approaches. Mwambao
currently has 77 full-time staff and established offices in Tanga,
Pangani, Pemba Island and Unguja Island Zanzibar.

Mwambao
programmes have expanded over recent years from community-led marine
management, to include both ecosystem restoration, (primarily coral reef
and mangrove restoration) as well as local marine spatial planning
involving multiple stakeholders. Mwambao also prioritizes ecological
data collection (both at community level facilitated by our team) to
guide management decision-making.

A comprehensive and holistic
approach based on good science and community engagement is critical in
areas in which we work. In line with this we are seeking a Head of Marine Ecology Programmes (HOMEP) to join the Senior Management Team.
Deadline for Application: 19th May, 2025.
