WAFA is looking for a coordinator for research and applications.
You will coordinate, with the management team and program office, the team who works with applications, preparing the application forms, taking care of entries, checking and validating them and ranking entries to be given to the selection committee. They also work with preparing applicant’s stories and profiles to be published on our web and featured at our Award Event.
The better we can spread the stories of the applicants, the more we can influence, via social media, people to understand that the solution to a sustainable and secure life on Earth is within our grasp.
At the end of each round of Awards, the R&A team will do a follow-up, to see how past applicants are doing, to lift up their progress and to gather learnings, both about the sustainable provision of Water, Air and Food security, but also about how WAFA can be better.
