Corporates Partnerships & Fundraising Officer

WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working in Viet Nam. 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 environment 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

WWF-Viet Nam established the Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising team in 2014, under the new country strategy and in recognition of the middle-income status of Viet Nam (with its associated increase in corporates and individuals’ interest in sustainability development and reduced funding from external governments and agencies), WWF-Viet Nam has set ambitious targets for local conservation impacts. Business is primed to lead on rapid adaptation and on the innovative solutions needed to drive change. By working with businesses together with domestically generated revenue, WWF-Viet Nam aims to drive conservation results that would not be possible otherwise
