SUMMARY OF JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The USAID and Australia Mekong Safeguards Program (Mekong Safeguards) is a six-year (2018-2024) project working with central banks, governments, and developers in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar on significant energy and transportation infrastructure investments to strengthen environmental and social standards and adopt clean technologies in Southeast Asia’s Lower Mekong sub-region. The program is an exciting opportunity to support new and improved ways governments, financiers, developers, and communities can invest and build sustainable energy and transportation infrastructure. It is funded through a unique partnership between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

 

The initial contract will be for six months, with the possibility of an extension based on funding and performance. All candidates should submit their CVs and their proposed daily rate (in USD). Though preferably based in Bangkok, consultants based in the Mekong Region will also be considered.
