Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh, with field visits as required. Duration: 600 days (between November 2026 and October 2029). Reports to: Project Manager, Sustho Sagor. Performance is reviewed yearly against agreed deliverables. The consultant must comply with the WCS Code of Conduct, Anti-Harassment, Safeguarding and procurement policies and sign a confidentiality agreement.
