Background
African Parks is a non-profit organisation that takes on direct responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of national parks, in partnership with governments and local communities. By adopting a business approach to conservation, supported by donor funding, we aim to make each park sustainable in the long-term, thereby contributing to economic development and poverty alleviation. We currently manage ten parks in seven countries – CAR, Chad, Congo, DRC, Malawi, Rwanda and Zambia.
African Parks has been managing Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, since 2005 in partnership with the Institut Congolais pour La Conservation de la Nature (ICCN), the DRC’s official wildlife authority. The park is 4,900 km² but is part of the larger Garamba Complex of 12,500 km² and is the last stronghold for elephants and giraffe in all of Congo.
African Parks will be receiving funding to develop the greater Garamba area as part of the EU 11th EDF funding. The greater Garamba development will be based on conservation led economies for the benefit of the local communities in the periphery of Garamba National Park.
African Parks has renewed its management agreement with the ICCN to manage Garamba NP and its periphery for an additional 10 years, and is seeking for an outstanding Law Enforcement consultant to develop the skills of the ICCN appointed Law Enforcement manager. The Law Enforcement consultant will be based at the park headquarters in Nagero. The Law Enforcement department employees approx. 200 rangers, divided between base security, field operations, and advanced operations. At any time there may be up to 100 FARDC soldiers seconded to the park, and candidates must therefore have relevant experience to handle the management of such a department.

• To assist greater park management, including participation in weekly management meetings, liaison with the operations manager for logistical support, and assisting the park management in developing the management and 5-year business plans.
• To ensure the on-going maintenance and improvement of capability within the Law Enforcement cadre, including mentorship programs for existing Rangers, coordination and supervision for selection and training of new Rangers, as well as specialised courses;

Having had a swift and effective kick-off meeting with Ex-Mil Recruitment our needs were swiftly understood. Within a week we were presented with a range of candidates for interview. Pleasingly, the individual that we subsequently recruited significantly exceeded our expectation for the role and has effectively "bought us" added capacity for the budgeted price of the role.
