ORGANISATIONAL BACKGROUND


TRAFFIC is the leading non-governmental organization working globally on trade in wild animals and plants in the context of both biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.

TRAFFIC International is a charity and limited company registered in the UK. TRAFFIC's head office, based in Cambridge UK, provides worldwide leadership, coordination, cross-regional and corporate functions.

TRAFFIC's local engagement is managed through programme offices operating under the auspices of the UK charity, with staff based in a hub office and at other strategic locations where necessary.

Programme offices operate within a geographic area of responsibility focused on one or multiple countries where TRAFFIC aims to help deliver priority programme outcomes.

TRAFFIC works in strategic alliance with IUCN and WWF on wildlife trade issues.- PROJECT BACKGROUND

  • TRAFFIC's mission, as described in our 2030 Strategy is to ensure that trade in wild species is legal and sustainable, for the benefit of people and planet. As the leading global trusted advisor on the complex challenges of trade in wild species, TRAFFIC plays a critical role in providing the evidence, solutions, and influence to galvanise change.
  • Over the coming decade, our strategy will focus on five priority areas, each with a defined objective to be achieved by 2030, and each with a detailed results chain that maps out the pathway to achieve our 2030 goals.
  • To operationalise our Strategy, TRAFFIC is scaling up our monitoring, evaluation and learning focus, so that we are continually assessing our performance and influence and making the necessary corrections to achieve our goals. We are sharpening our focus on resultsbased management (RbM) and impact assessment. We are developing a stronger selectivity lens to help us identify and prioritise those interventions, sectors, taxa, and geographies that will accelerate our results.
