Responsibilities & Context

Job Summary:

CARE is one of the world’s leading international humanitarian and development organizations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working over 121 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 and is one of the largest programs in CARE confederation. Women and girls are at the core of all CARE programs because they represent half of the marginalized group and it is not possible to overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh works to implement programs with long-term impacts that result in sustainable changes for the extreme poor and marginalized communities.

CARE Bangladesh’s Humanitarian and Climate Action Program is committed to provide people affected by disasters and conflicts with life-saving assistance, with a special focus on women and girls, who are disproportionately affected by disasters. Our action also includes preparedness and early action, emergency response and recovery, and resilience and adaptation to climate change and equitable development.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has selected a CARE Bangladesh led consortium to implement the project titled ‘Nature Based Adaptation towards Prosperous and Adept Lives & Livelihoods in Bangladesh (NABAPALLAB) in two Ecologically Critical Areas (ECAs) – the Sundarbans and Hakaluki Haor. The other consortium members are CNRS, Cordaid, C3ER-BRAC University, Dushtha Shasthya Kendra (DSK), Friendship, Humanity & Inclusion (HI), iDE, and Practical Action. It is a key component of the Bangladesh-UK Accord on Climate Change and will deliver the adaptation outcome of the FCDO’s flagship Bangladesh Climate and Environment Programme (BCEP). The programme will make a significant contribution in Bangladesh to progress against GoB’s policies and priorities e.g., National Adaptation Plan (NAP), Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), commitments to biodiversity conservation, ongoing 8th Five Year Plan, etc. And it will also contribute to UK’s commitment to International Climate Finance (ICF).

Due to environmental sensitivity and high anthropogenic pressures such as overharvesting, overfishing, pollution and illegal logging, the Sundarbans mangrove and the Hakaluki Hoar wetland are at a vulnerable stage with climate change exacerbating the current situation. FCDO’s NABAPALLAB aims to engage biodiversity and natural resource-dependent communities to strengthen the climate resilience of the ECAs, conserve biodiversity, and at the same time, diversify and improve people’s livelihood through innovative nature-based (NBS) and locally led adaptation solutions. It will increase climate resilience of more than 250,000 vulnerable households and ecosystem-based protection and restoration of 5,000km2 area in, especially in the districts of Bagerhat, Satkhira and Khulna in the Sundarbans ECA, and Maulvibazar and Sylhet in Hakaluki Haor. To achieve FCDO’s NABAPALLAB goal, CARE and its partners will work with different ministries specially , Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Department of Forest, Department of Environment (DoE), Ministry of Land, Local Government Engineering Department (LGED), Bangladesh Water Development Board, Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) etc. of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) at the national, regional and local levels, to implement the most appropriate NbS and Locally-led Adaptations (LLA) solutions for the Sundarbans and Hakaluki haor ecosystems.

The Regional Program Coordinators based in Khulna Regional Office and Kulaura Regional Office, directly reporting to the Deputy Director, Humanitarian & Climate Action Program and Deputy Team Leader, NABAPALLAB, are overall responsible for achieving FCDO’s NABAPALLAB’s four outcomes at the regional level, through execution and supervision of CARE’s activities as well as facilitating and monitoring consortium partners activities in order to make a meaningful, measurable, and sustainable difference in a defined period of time in the selected unions of Bagerhat, Satkhira, Khulna, Moulvibazaar and Sylhet districts. The Regional Program Coordinators will be managing all field level EbA interventions liaising with local community and partner organizations; coordination and collaboration with local government & private sector stakeholders; monitoring and tracking programmatic budget in accordance with approved work plan and ensure any modifications required within the scope of donor and NGOAB rules and policies. S/he will ensure timely and quality implementation of all components through regular monitoring visits and follow-ups including generating real-time and periodic reporting from the region for the donor and NGOAB as per their requirements. Overall, they will ensure proper and timely implementation of locally led NBS and just solutions and accountable service mechanism for protection and restoration of nature and to increase climate resilience of vulnerable communities in the Sundarbans and Hakaluki Haor ECA.
