*FRENCH-SPEAKING RESEARCHER, DATA ANALYST and REPORT-WRITER required for 
C4 ECOSOLUTIONS*

*April 2013*

*C4 EcoSolutions, a consulting company that specialises in climate 
change, conservation, carbon and community development projects, is 
seeking a FRENCH-SPEAKING researcher, data analyst and report-writer. 
The C4 team of climate change and environmental professionals is based 
in Tokai, Cape Town, South Africa. C4 operates in more than 30 countries 
across Africa and Asia, including Francophone countries such as 
Djibouti, Niger, Mauritania, Madagascar and Democratic Republic of 
Congo.  Fluency in French is therefore required to develop and implement 
projects in these countries.*

*Background*:

·C4 EcoSolutions (www.c4es.co.za <http://www.c4es.co.za/>) operates at 
the forefront of the international stage -- in both the private and 
public sectors -- in the emerging fields of climate change adaptation 
and mitigation.

·The international community has committed billions of dollars to 
climate change initiatives, and at present there is a relative scarcity 
of experts available to design and implement innovative projects that 
develop synergies between conserving ecosystems and developing poor, 
rural communities.

·C4 has developed considerable experience in such projects across Africa 
and Asia, through work conducted with the United Nations Development 
Programme, United Nations Environment Programme, Food and Agriculture 
Organisation, the International Finance Corporation and numerous other 
international private sector clients.

·In addition to developing, implementing and monitoring climate 
change/conservation/community projects, C4 conducts ecological research 
and publishes papers in international peer-reviewed journals.

·The company is in the process of expanding its operations and requires 
at least one French-speaking staff member to assist with projects in 
Francophone countries. We therefore welcome applicants who are fluent in 
French and who have scientific research, statistical data analysis and 
report-writing skills. It is preferable that applicants have all three 
of these skills, but applicants with two of the skills will be 
considered. Fluency in French, however, is essential.

*Responsibilities will include /inter alia/*:

·Writing consulting reports that are of an exceptional standard in terms 
of presentation, technical content, grammar, syntax and style. These 
will need to be written in both English and French.

·Assisting C4 staff with the provision of technical advice to project 
implementers and consultants at the national level in French-speaking 
countries including Djibouti and Niger.

·Traveling to French- and English-speaking countries to collect 
information for developing and implementing projects on adaptation to 
climate change in Africa and Asia. The work C4 is undertaking at present 
includes /inter alia/ developing and/or implementing:

omangrove restoration projects in Djibouti, Myanmar and Bangladesh;

oagriculture and land restoration projects in Mauritania, Afghanistan, 
Myanmar and Lesotho;

oprivate sector projects in Niger, Zambia and Mozambique, including 
large-scale conservation projects in miombo woodlands, REDD+ projects, 
microfinance and weather index-based insurance schemes, mobile phone 
platforms that deliver weather/market information, and watershed 
protection projects with hydro-power operators;

oa regional adaptation project for the Chinese government, including 
interventions in Mauritania, Seychelles and Nepal;

otropical forest restoration projects in Cambodia, Nepal and Myanmar;

oprojects on Early Warning Systems in Myanmar, Ethiopia, Zambia, Malawi 
and Uganda;

olarge-scale restoration projects in degraded thicket landscapes in the 
Eastern Cape using carbon funding.

*Qualifications and experience*:**

·Appropriate university degree/s.

·A deep interest in conservation, development and climate change.

·Exceptional English writing skills.

·Fluency in French and exceptional French writing skills.

·Exceptional statistical analysis skills, for example in the programme 
R, will be an added advantage.

·An understanding of financial and business models will also be an 
advantage.

*Remuneration*:

Dependent on work experience and qualifications.

*Applications*:**

Please send an email and CV to Mike Jennings (mike.jennings at c4es.co.za
