This Community of Practice will also act as a peer-to-peer learning platform to support national government engagement efforts.
- To contribute to the development of written material such as position papers, reports, (de)briefing notes, news items, and presentations. This will also include inputs into communication material developed by FSC Communications team, such as relevant FSC webpages and crisis communications.
- To design and manage an internal process that identifies relevant engagement opportunities (mostly in person or virtual events), prioritizes these opportunities, coordinates which staff or member(s) of FSC are best placed to represent or input on behalf of FSC and obtain high level outputs/outcomes.
- Working with relevant colleagues, organize FSC events/ meetings involving visitors from the Global Affairs stakeholder community.
- To coordinate the design and implementation of assigned projects and activities on key topics related to engagement with key political actors.
- To organize, coordinate and handle administration of memberships, accreditations and relevant partnerships.
