VACANCY

?

About WWF

WWF’s work in the Pacific spans three countries with offices in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Fiji, where our regional hub is based in Suva. Since the mid-1990s we have been working hand in hand with local partners and communities to protect and restore the region's astonishing natural heritage, relied upon by millions of people for food, water, livelihoods and protection from climate change. The impacts of effective conservation in this trio of Large Oceanic States extends far beyond their geographic boundaries. In Papua New Guinea, for instance, WWF is working in the third largest tropical rainforest in the world, home to a staggering 7% of the world’s total number of species. Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands host part of the Coral Triangle, where 76% of all coral species are found. Tuna come here to spawn, whilst sea turtles, whales, dolphins, dugongs and whale sharks feed, breed and migrate through these waters. Fiji meanwhile is home to the world’s third longest continuous barrier reef system that supports some of the only coral reefs thought to remain under current climate change scenarios.

As the planet faces a deepening crisis of nature loss the Pacific Islands face their own significant challenges: deep sea mining, deforestation, overexploitation of fisheries for local and global consumption, plastic pollution all pose imminent risks. The existential threat of climate change is ubiquitous and has worsened, with impacts already felt across the region.

The objective of this assignment aims to:

??????????? i.??? Start to build an understanding of the interface between cash payments and intimate partner violence in the Pacific context.

?????????? ii.??? Identify and analyse perceptions of intimate partner violence service providers regarding the linkages between intimate partner violence and government-led cash transfer programs.

?

The scope of the assignment will be determined by the supplier based on the countries identified for inclusion in the case studies and the nature of cash payments that have been / are being delivered. The case studies will consider various cash payments, including but not limited to:
