The GEF, headquartered in Washington DC, is a multilateral financial
mechanism created on the eve of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to provide grant
and concessional funds to recipient countries for projects and activities that
address a range of pressing environmental issues, including biodiversity,
climate change, land degradation, chemicals and waste, and marine and
freshwater resources. With 183 member countries, GEF has provided close to
$20 billion in grants and mobilised an additional $107 billion in co-financing for
more than 4,700 projects in 170 countries.
The CEO represents the GEF and its Council with a variety of partners
and stakeholders globally as it relates to economic development and the
environment and leads the interaction with different Secretariats of several
international environmental conventions. The CEO is accountable to the GEF
Council for the performance of the Secretariat. The ideal candidate will have
a strong work ethic, unquestionable integrity and the presence to establish
immediate credibility with a complex group of stakeholders. Bringing substantive
experience in multi-stakeholder leadership, he/she will have demonstrated
competency in planning and managing significant financial resources with
a passion for environmental and social issues in developing countries.
Fundraising experience and exposure to the work of the global environmental
conventions is a plus.
