Dear everyone,

I am Aisha, new temporary Programme Officer for Participation and Engagement (PO) at GBIF Secretariat as from 1st January 2017. As part of the Participation and Engagement team at the Secretariat, my role will involve providing support to the GBIF Participant Nodes, and other participants/communities involved. I very much look forward to working together.

From the Secretariat we would like to share with you the information that JRS Biodiversity Foundation is presently issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for multi-year projects focused upon biodiversity data, knowledge and information services related to freshwater biodiversity and pollinator biodiversity in eastern and southern Africa.

The scope, timeline, forms, and online application portal are now posted on the JRS Website. For more information: http://jrsbiodiversity.org/how-to-apply/current-opportunities/2017rfp/, and if interested you can contact jrsrfp2017@jrsbiodiversity.orgmailto:jrsrfp2017@jrsbiodiversity.org with any questions. Applications are due by end of day February 22, 2017.
