Несколько вакансий (на некоторые, как указано, предпочитают брать местных, но можно попытаться)
USAID The Coastal Community Adaptation Program (C-CAP)
Responding to challenges posed by climate change to the development and survival of Pacific
Islands, the United States Government has made the Pacific a strategic focus by expanding
bilateral and multilateral climate change related assistance to the region. USAID’s climate change program will support Pacific Island nations to reduce long-term impacts associated with climate change and achieve
sustainable climate-resilient development, both of which will strengthen U.S. Government
objectives by mitigating the negative impacts of climate change. The CCAP will be a 5-year, 18.16€
million contract with project headquarters located in Suva, Fiji, based on the availability of funds.
