Job Description
An experienced curriculum developer or e-learning content creator is needed in Sierra Leone to develop a tailored training program for mangrove restoration efforts.
West Africa’s coastline features mangrove ecosystems that sequester up to four times as much organic carbon as tropical forests. The mangroves are also home to species, such as the vulnerable West African manatee, the endangered Timneh parrot, and the critically endangered Western Red Colobus monkey. Rapid urban expansion, resource extraction, and unsustainable harvesting practices are making these mangrove forests quickly disappear and immediate action is needed. West Africa Blue partners with communities to pioneer community-centric, nature-based solutions. The organization’s field staff visit the communities to strengthen environmental education, stewardship, and livelihoods. To ensure the field staff deliver effective training, a customized training program is required.
As a Curriculum Development Advisor, you will collaborate with the staff at West Africa Blue to develop a comprehensive, easy-to-use onboarding training program that features infographics, interactive roleplay, and relevant examples. Alongside the West Africa Blue team, you will implement, test, and update the training program as needed to ensure the field staff are fully equipped to provide high-quality, compliant training to the coastal communities. Your efforts will help safeguard the remaining forests and the communities that depend on them.
