Senior Project Officer–Hue Television Action (TVA) Project


Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home - the Earth? Working at WWF could be your opportunity of a lifetime.

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.

I. Background

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 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-Vietnam has been working actively to develop its Plastic program with an aim to contribute to reducing plastic pollution from Vietnamese territory into the ocean, while addressing national level priorities in both the policy sphere and in public awareness and behavior change.

Solid waste, especially plastic waste, is a global hot issue that Vietnam is also facing. In recent years, Hue City has made many efforts to mitigate the impact of solid waste and plastic waste. The rate of waste collection of the City is also quite high comparing to other cities. However, in rural areas, by rivers and along the coast, the waste collection rate is lower, that the leakage of plastic waste to the water environment is still an issue, especially in the coming time, the city will be expanded to these areas.

With the support from Norwegian people via WWF-Norway, WWF-Vietnam will implement the 4 years (2021-2024) project: “Hue- Plastic Smart City in the Central Vietnam”. The project goal is by 2030, rivers, wetland areas and coastal areas will be protected from plastic waste pollution via collective efforts of key stakeholders from public-private sectors, social organizations and local communities and Hue city will be member of the Plastic Smart Cities network.

WWF-Vietnam is looking for a candidate who would be part of our team to drive those changes forward.
