Background and Partner Organisation According to the World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal, Vietnam is one of the five countries that will be most affected by climate change. Despite important commitments to combat climate change, the country's northern regions are being neglected. There is a significant need for increased efforts to adapt to climate change, as the measures taken so far are not sufficiently context-specific and there is a lack of capacity for implementation. There is also a lack of knowledge about climate change and its effects on the population. Existing awareness-raising and climate training courses do not sufficiently reach pupils, students, and marginalized groups such as women and ethnic minorities. They mainly focus on individual climate measures and neglect more holistic approaches as well as follow-up measures and support. Information materials for climate education are often uninteresting and ignored, while training programs are mostly theoretical with little practical implementation. The capacity to deliver practical training is limited. The International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) is committed to an agro-ecological transition and strives to improve the management of green landscapes and (climate-) resilient agricultural systems to combat poverty, environmental degradation, the negative effects of climate change, demographic upheavals, and conflicts and to secure a just future for all. ICRAF pays particular attention to the financially disadvantaged, vulnerable groups, women and children. To improve the situation, ICRAF is planning a publicly accessible climate-learning center in cooperation with, and on the campus of, the Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry (TUAF). It will cover a wide range of climate topics, serve as a knowledge hub, highlight the experiences of local communities in natural resource management, and act as an actor for global networking. ICRAF is looking for a dedicated expert to develop the learning content of the climate center and communicate it to the target groups. The center is based in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. Job Scope As a professional, you develop participatory content and materials for context-specific solutions for use in particularly climate-prone communities and qualify multipliers who convey this content to the Climate Center's target groups. The joint development of training materials, solution approaches, techniques, and concepts, guided by you, leads to location-appropriate and usable climate adaptation strategies that can be proactively implemented by the target group. Your areas of responsibility include: - Supporting the development of concepts and methods for applicable, sustainable, and site-appropriate land use concerning the effects of climate change - Testing and further development of participatory climate adaptation strategies and measures - Advice and guidance on the creation and updating of training modules and learning materials - Supporting local partner organizations in the application of training modules and materials for climate adaptation strategies and measures - Providing and training farmers on climate information developed by ICRAF and supporting their systematic use - Supporting the climate center's networking activities - Promoting creative collaboration between different actors Profile - A relevant Master's degree in e.g., environmental sciences, development policy, or a related field - At least 5 years of professional experience in development cooperation and the preparation of educational materials - Expertise in adult education - Experience in working with scientific institutions in countries of the Global South and participatory methods - Sensitive to hierarchies and experience of working in autocratic political systems are beneficial - Ability to analyze and implement complex processes - Excellent communication and organizational skills - Full English proficiency - Strong commitment to environmental protection and social justice - Interest in mutual learning in an intercultural context - Flexibility and motivation for social integration into Vietnamese culture Citizenship of a Member State of the European Union or Switzerland is required.
