Summary: Forest Trends is an international non-profit organization that works to expand the value of forests to society. Forest Trends, alongside a partnership of nine environmental and indigenous organizations in Latin America, has initiated a five-year, $13 million program with the support of USAID to empower forest-dependent communities to more fully contribute to and directly benefit from climate change mitigation efforts. This program, Accelerating Inclusion and Mitigating Emissions (AIME), operates in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Central America, and Mexico. AIME seeks to build capacity of indigenous peoples and other forest-based communities to improve the governance of their territories and forests, while supporting the design of natural-resource utilization activities that are REDD+ compatible and aligned with the “Planes de Vida” (Life Plans) of indigenous people. AIME will help key jurisdictions across Latin America expand processes and help institutional/policy frameworks to be more inclusive of the rights and views of such communities. It will also help private-sector actors better understand and value partnerships with indigenous and traditional communities. Forest Trends is seeking a Program Manager to lead all administrative functions of this grant and to support the Chief of Party for the AIME Program. Key Roles and Responsibilities:
