ADVERTISEMENT Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist (GEF Plastics), WWF-Laos   Position title:  Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist (GEF Plastics), WWF-Laos Location: Vientiane, Project Management Unit (PMU) - Department of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment   Background: The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has had a presence in Laos since the late 1980s, when it contributed to some of the first biodiversity surveys that established Laos’ protected area system. The office in Laos was officially established in 2001. Today, our main office for WWF-Laos is in Vientiane Capital, with field offices in multiple provinces.    WWF-Laos works with government, civil society, the private sector and other partners to address the drivers of biodiversity loss and to move towards a greener nature-based future where the people of Laos can thrive and live in harmony with nature.   Our vision is “a vibrant and sustainable future for Laos, shaped by inclusive conservation that protects biodiversity, ensures equitable benefits, and nurtures harmony between people and the environment”. Conservation is WWF’s core work, and our programmes in Laos are implemented under four broad thematic areas: Forests, Wildlife, Freshwater and Circular Resilience. As outlined in WWF-Laos’ 2026-2030 strategic plan , we focus our conservation efforts in three main landscapes, eight priority sites and three cities.   Under the Global Environment Facility (GEF) GEF-8 Integrated Program – Circular Solutions to Plastic Pollution, the Government of Lao PDR, in collaboration with WWF-Laos, is implementing a five-year project titled “Promoting Circular Solutions to Single-Use Plastic Consumption in Lao PDR.” The project aims to reduce the use of problematic single-use plastic food and beverage packaging and promote the adoption of sustainable alternatives through inclusive and circular economy approaches. The project focuses on three key urban areas — Vientiane, Vang Vieng District, and Luang Prabang — and engages policymakers, private sector actors, consumers, and local communities through upstream and midstream interventions designed to reduce plastic pollution and improve sustainable consumption practices. In addition to GEF financing, the project is being co-funded by the French Global Environmental Facility (FFEM) to support the identification and development of potential downstream solutions and interventions. The co-executing agencies and project leads are WWF-Laos and the Department of Environment (DoE), under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE).  The overall project seeks to support Lao PDR’s transition toward a circular economy by strengthening enabling policies, increasing the market availability and uptake of sustainable alternatives, and fostering long-term behavioral change.
