The Nature Conservancy's Africa Region seeks a Senior Advisor for Sustainable Water Infrastructure to lead development and implementation of a key global strategy at The Nature Conservancy (TNC),  Saving the Last Great Rivers. This global strategy focuses on the fact that thousands of dams are currently proposed across Africa, with urgently-needed energy and water services as a promise for the future. But if these dams are not planned well, they will have dramatic negative impacts on the continent's rivers, and the people and ecosystems that depend on them.    See here for more information and to apply.
