As part of the implementation of its Strategic Action Plan (SAP) 2021-2030, the Fisheries Committee for the West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC) has partnered with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to secure funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for the GEF-7 "International Waters" focal area, to carry out the project "Use of Marine Spatial Planning in the Gulf of Guinea for the Implementation of Payment for Ecosystem Services and Nature-based Coastal Solutions" or MarEcoPlan. The implementation of the project is planned for a period of three (3) years, from January 2024 to January 2027.
This project is part of a broader planning and management of marine and coastal areas using Marine Spatial Planning tools.
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) aims to organize the uses of marine and coastal areas in a sustainable way, in order to reconcile ecological, economic, and social objectives. In this context, the integration of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) mechanisms appears to be an innovative approach to economically value the services provided by ecosystems and encourage their conservation and restoration.
Thus, the FCWC General Secretariat wishes to recruit a consultant to support the implementation of Component 2 of the project, entitled "Payment for Ecosystem Services".
Anyone interested in this consultation is invited to submit their application by email no later than 17:00 GMT on 23rd January 2026.
The subject of the email must mention the consultancy for which you are applying.
