Responsibilities & Context:
∎ Cox’s Bazar and the three Chittagong Hill Tract (CHT) districts are among the lowest ranked in Bangladesh for education, skills training, food security, poverty and agricultural productivity. The situation has worsened since 2017, with the Rohingya refugee influx, which has put enormous pressure on the local economies, resulting in loss of livelihoods, depressed local wages, increased food insecurity and distorted local market systems. The increased population has also put severe pressure on already limited resources. There is a need for safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. Forests have become degraded negatively affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Moreover, these districts are prone to natural disasters including fires, flash floods, landslides, extreme heat and drought. Cox’s Bazar experiences these as well as rising sea levels, salinification of soil and water, and tropical cyclones.In response, USAID’s Host and Impacted Communities Resilience Activity (HICRA) led by Friends In Village Development Bangladesh (FIVDB) will take an integrated approach to improve the overall well-being and resilience of people residing in the communities hosting or impacted by the Rohingya refugee crisis. HICRA will achieve this goal through the implementation of livelihoods; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); natural resource management (NRM); and disaster risk reduction (DRR) interventions with an estimated 114,000 households across the four prioritised districts, Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, Rangamati, and Kargarachari.
∎ ROLE
∎ The Environmental Specialists will ensure that HICRA activities are compliant with USAID regulations, develop, implement and update the Activity’s Environmental Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (EMMP), and lead all environmental reporting. The candidate will be responsible for developing, modifying, implementing and reporting on the plan.  This will entail developing work plans, detailed implementation plans (DIPs), and providing training to the activity partners and staff in relation to the USAID environmental regs, EMMP and overall environmental compliance.
∎ The candidate will work closely with the Cox’s Bazar Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) and other technical leads to ensure environmental oversight and compliance for all program activities, i.e., agriculture, IGAs, disaster risk reduction, WASH, natural resources management. S/he will provide technical leadership on environmental matters including reviewing documentation, conducting site visits and providing recommendations to mitigate environmental risks. S/he will review the construction implementation plan and all construction projects (the plan, contract and spot checks on the projects themselves). The candidate will collect, develop, and/or adapt environmental training materials (including training the trainers), train staff in environmental compliance, build the capacity of frontline staff to identify, monitor and mitigate environmental concerns, and contribute to reporting. The candidate will create an enabling environment for collaboration, learning and adaptation, contribute to staff capacity building and support localization. This position will also provide the inclusive and well-orchestrated leadership necessary to meet the complex needs of HICRA’s EMMP participants in cost efficient ways.  This includes collaborating with various stakeholders including the Government of Bangladesh, other USAID activities, traditional leaders, UPG communities and HICRA consortium partners. S/he will apply strategic and analytical skills to accomplish goals and meet objectives, and demonstrate initiative and willingness to work together in partnership with the consortium and all key stakeholders. The Technical Lead will ensure activities are completed as per plan, meet USAID requirements, and maintain good relations with all.
