The aim of the Fellowship is to strengthen the leadership potential of a mid-career technical staff member of a BirdLife Partner organisation (Guyra Paraguay) by enhancing her knowledge and understanding of policy analyses and advocacy with a special focus on the CBD process. This will lead to active participation of the BirdLife Partner in CBD implementation in Paraguay and thus substantially enhance the capacity for CBD implementation in the country. The Darwin Fellowship candidate who has very recently been re-designated as a Policy Officer has previously worked as a scientist for Guyra with limited exposure to the policy process.
