The Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund (EAMCEF) Tanzania Jobs 2022
The Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund (EAMCEF) is a
Trust Fund that was established and functions as a long-term and
reliable funding mechanism
BACKGROUND
The Eastern Arc
Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund (EAMCEF) is a Trust Fund that was
established as a mechanism to provide sustainable financing for
effective conservation of biological resources in the Eastern Arc
Mountains of Tanzania. The Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment
Fund was initially conceived as a joint initiative of the Government of
the United Republic of Tanzania, the Board of Trustees, the World Bank
and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
Recommended:
Major mountain blocks of the
Eastern Arc spread over fifteen districts in five regions of Tanzania
namely, Tanga (East and West Usambara and Nguu Mountains), Kilimanjaro
(South and North Pare Mountains), Morogoro (Udzungwa, Ukaguru, Nguru,
Rubeho, Malundwe, Mahenge and Uluguru Mountains), Iringa (Udzungwa
Mountains) and Dodoma (Rubeho Mountains). Governed by a Board of
Trustees, the Fund was officially registered in Tanzania in June 2001
under the Trustees’ Incorporation Act (Cap. 318 R.E 2002) and it
operates as a not-for-profit Conservation Finance
Headed by the Executive Director and based in Morogoro Municipality, the
Endowment Fund Secretariat is charged with the running of the
day-to-day operations and functions of the Trust.
The Eastern Arc
Mountains forests are under considerable pressure due to various human
activities as a result of increased population. Threats leading to
biodiversity loss include expansion of human settlements, shifting
cultivation, forest fires, extraction of wood for commercial and
domestic uses, gold mining, dry season grazing, extraction of non-wood
forest products including honey, fruits, medicines, natural ropes,
resins, mushrooms and game hunting. Whereas requirements for financial
resources necessary for effective conservation of the Eastern Arc
Mountains are quite enormous, the financial position of EAMCEF is
currently very modest. Thus, EAMCEF needs to mobilize more resources
from all possible sources so as to increase its capital base as well as
enhance its capacity to finance its operations and programme activities.
