CECI is recruiting a consultant to conduct an environmental and social impact assessment as part of the “Making Trade Work for Women in West Africa” project. Implemented in partnership with TradeMark Africa and supported by Global Affairs Canada, this project aims to strengthen the participation of women entrepreneurs in regional trade in West Africa.

This strategic mandate addresses key current challenges related to sustainable trade practices. It involves analyzing the environmental impacts of high-potential value chains, particularly in the agricultural and agri-food sectors, and identifying concrete solutions tailored to the realities faced by women entrepreneurs. The study will also help develop an Environmental and Social Management Plan to support the transition toward more sustainable and inclusive economic models.

This mandate is intended for experts or firms wishing to contribute to innovative approaches that link economic development, regional trade, and the ecological transition.

Imagine working for an organization whose mission corresponds to your personal values, and participating every day, in your own way, in the creation of positive social change in the world. Alongside 300 employees worldwide and 200 volunteers, who share our values of solidarity, integrity and respect for diversity, you could help empower women and support communities with CECI.
