  • Experience working with CBRM in Solomon Islands is essential, with a deep understanding of CBRM principles and their practical application in the country and region.
  • Demonstrated leadership in coordinating national activities and events (look and learns, demonstrations, symposiums).
  • Demonstrated leadership in conducting quantitative and/or qualitative methodologies.
  • Experience in collaborating with diverse stakeholders, including indigenous peoples, groups, and communities, as well as government and civil society groups.
  • Theoretical understanding of food security, collective action, and gender and social relations in Solomon Islands and how these influence governance, livelihoods, and rural development in island food systems.
  • Highly proficient in data management and analyses, with evidence of previous reporting and production of scientific outputs.
  • Highly proficient in Office 365 software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • Demonstrated interpersonal and communication skills in working with international and diverse teams.

Desirable Skills/Experience

Benefits

This is a Nationally Recruited Staff (NRS) position, and WorldFish offers a competitive remuneration package including comprehensive benefits (but not limited to) insurance coverage for staff and eligible dependents, employer provident fund contribution, paid leave, and others. The duration of the contract will initially be for a two-year period with possibility for extension, depending on funding and performance.
