Maliasili: investing in people for Nature

Maliasili is a dynamic and innovative organization that is taking a different approach to driving conservation impact in Africa. We find the best local African conservation organizations and make them better by building their capacity and improving their performance so that they can grow their impact. Our partner portfolio includes some of the leading organizations in East and Southern Africa and Madagascar, working at the forefront of conservation across wildlife, forestry, and marine resource management. Our partners’ impacts extend well beyond biodiversity conservation, driving conservation approaches that are grounded in community and indigenous land rights, and unlocking the economic value of natural resources through sustainable businesses to create greater jobs and income.

Since its founding in 2011, Maliasili has built a portfolio of roughly 20 partners working across over 25 million hectares of critical landscapes and ecosystems in four countries. We have helped our partners generate or leverage more than $7 million in funding for their work; developed a growing set of tools to help improve their organizational performance; and supported many of our partners to significantly grow their impacts in the field. Our goals are to build a portfolio of Africa’s best local conservation organizations, help them collaborate and learn from each other, and scale up their work on the ground and their leadership capacity within the conservation field.

Building on our track record and growing interest in our organizational support model, we are looking to expand our portfolio in Southern Africa in 2020 and looking to build our regional team.

We are in the midst of a three-year strategic plan that is guiding the expansion of our programmatic efforts, both in Kenya and in Southern Africa. We are now accepting applications for the following positions.

All applications, including a cover letter and CV, should be sent to recruitment[at]maliasili[dot]org.
