shared home - the Earth? Working at WWF could be your opportunity of a

All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of
nature loss. A growing realization that nature is our life-support system.
And that nobody will be spared from the impacts of its loss. Here at WWF,
we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.

Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of
expertise, ranging from HR and finance to advocacy and conservation
science. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us
create a better future for people and wildlife.



What we do



We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the
natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and
communities to business and government, we are part of a growing coalition
calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030.
Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass
extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainably.



About WWF-Vietnam



WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working
in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy
and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a
diverse range of environmental issues and implemented field activities
across the country. Find out more at http://vietnam.panda.org/. WWF
recognizes that its employees are its most important asset. A competent
workforce, thoroughly trained, properly motivated and bound together by
mutual trust and common objectives is crucial to the success of WWF.

GOAL AND OBJECTIVES:



The study aims to explore the implications (especially in terms of emerging
risks to socio-economic inclusivity) of changing contexts of policy and
applied practice of municipal waste management in Viet Nam for the informal
sector in Long An province, and determine risk management strategies.

Based upon and grounded in the key tenets of WWF’s Environmental and Social
Safeguards Framework (ESSF), the study will achieve these specific
objectives:

   -

   Provide a comprehensive picture of the informal waste sector in Long An,
   historical development, current status and role in/ contribution to the
   province’s waste management and recycling industry, and possible trends of
   the sector in the future.
   -

   Provide in-depth analysis of socio-economic implications of changing
   contexts of municipal waste management policies and practices in Viet Nam
   for the informal sector in Long An. The changes comprise EPR and waste
   segregation at source, which are mandated by the LEP 2020 and will be
   coming into effect in early 2021, as well as the recent implementation of
   projects in Long An, piloting waste sorting at household level and separate
   collection of different waste types.
   -

      Identify socio-economic risks for informal waste workers and
      facilities
      -

      Assess efforts for social inclusion within the policy framework and
      planned practices
      -

   Evaluate the informal sector’s vulnerability against these changes and
   their adaptability within this context and upcoming developments in the
   future.
   -

   Propose potential solutions to mitigate socio-economic risks, minimize
   vulnerability and maximize adaptability of the informal sector in the
   emerging contexts.
