CALLS FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (EoIs) FOR A PROJECT EXECUTANT TO SET
UP PILOTS FOR WORKPLACE BASED UPSKILLING IN THE BIODIVERSITY SECTOR

CLOSING DATE: 31 AUGUST 2011

The Biodiversity Human Capital Development Programme (BHCD) kicked off
its implementation leg in 2010. The programme works towards a sector
that is socially equitable and has a suitably skilled workforce of
biodiversity leaders, professionals and technicians to optimally
implement the sector's expanding and increasingly complex mandate. 

Its focus is on higher level skills in biodiversity research, management
and conservation. The implementation activities of this strategy are
driven by four overarching strategic goals (SGs) and seven cross-cutting
strategic objectives (SOs)- click here
<http://www.skillsforbiodiversity.org.za/resources-1/executive-summary.p
df>  for a summary.

The BHCDS funding partner, the Lewis Foundation
<http://www.tllf.org.za/history.html>  and SANBI
<http://www.sanbi.org.za/> , is calling for partners who are able to
assist with the implementation of the BHCD Programme. We welcome
submissions from employees in biodiversity and environmental
organisations and/or from consultants, who are keen to assist the
programme.

The workplace based upskilling project's purpose is to address a
two-fold need for improving the skills of technicians and professionals
currently employed in biodiversity organisations, and improving
organisations' ability to provide relevant and effective training to
employees. It supports strategic goal two of the BHCDS which focuses on
improving the quality and relevance of skills produced for the sector

Eligibility and Assessment Criteria: The project executant must be based
in South Africa. She/he must have:

* An understanding of workplace based upskilling; 
* Experience with the biodiversity-related work of the organisations in
the sector; and
* Contacts and familiarity with the sector in order to attract
participation from organisations

Project specific information is detailed in the Call for EoIs (see pdf
file and our website
<http://www.skillsforbiodiversity.org.za/opportunities/funding-for-skill
s-development> ).

Submissions received will be considered and assessed by the core
management team of the BHCD Programme. All submissions must be sent to
the Programme Director, Ms Renee Le Roux by email
(r.leroux at sanbi.org.za). The closing date is 31 August 2011. Ineligible,
incomplete and late submissions will not be considered. 

You are welcome to address all enquiries to:
Renee Le Roux (Tel: 012 843 5092, Email: r.leroux at sanbi.org.za
<mailto:r.leroux at sanbi.org.za> , Cell: 0824477071)

We look forward to your submissions.

THE BHCD PROGRAMME
