Intern (m/f/d) for the promotion of biodiversity-based value chains

The BioInnovation Africa (BIA) project supports African-European business partnerships for biodiversity-based value chains that are based on high ethical, social, and environmental standards, including equitable benefit-sharing and the sustainable use of Africa’s genetic resources. For example, the project strengthens capacities in providing partner countries with regards to the valorisation of biodiversity, business development and ABS negotiation skills. The project also offers general advice on ABS contracts, supports the roll-out of national guidelines for benefit sharing, and facilitates knowledge exchange formats and sector dialogues among others. The overall objective of the BIA project is to promote social-ecological change and reconcile environmental and socio-economic sustainability in Cameroon, Namibia, South Africa, and Madagascar.
