The UNODC Global Programme for Combating Wildlife and Forest Crime (GPWLFC) aims to link existing regional efforts in a global system, enhancing capacity building and wildlife law enforcement networks at regional and sub-regional levels. In collaboration with UNODC Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific (ROSEAP) sub-programme on transnational organized crime and illicit trafficking, the GP is working for and with the wildlife law enforcement community in Asia and the Pacific to ensure that wildlife crime, illegal logging, and related crimes are treated as serious transnational organized crime.

In the regions of East and Southeast Asia, focuses have been given to the enhancement of the capacities and skills of law enforcement agencies to effectively identify and combat wildlife trafficking along the complicated border regions among China, Myanmar, Lao PDR and Thailand. This includes promoting cooperation among law enforcement agencies operating with the ASEAN-region and with Chinese relevant authorities. For instance, under the guidance of relevant enforcement agencies in China and Viet Nam, UNODC has been facilitating operational cooperation with 12 other Countries in Asia.

Against this backdrop, and with the travel restrictions and uncertainty of trade due to COVID-19, cooperation is necessarily channeled through alternative channels of communication different from the traditional face-to-face interaction. In this regard, it becomes even more important to support cooperation among law enforcement agencies through innovative, pragmatic and user-friendly online platforms.

Under the direct supervision of the UNODC Regional Coordinator for Combatting Wildlife and Forest Crime, and in support to the partner Government Agencies, the incumbent will be responsible for designing and managing online events (including workshops, training courses and seminars) involving law enforcement representatives from Asia. A tentative and non-conclusive list of online events in this assignment will include:

• Briefing workshop/s of an information-sensitive operation conducted by Countries in Asia and supported by UNODC
• High level workshop/s on Wildlife Inter-Regional Enforcement
• Workshop on wildlife crime investigation involving 10 Members of ASEAN, plus guests such as China
• Training course on financial investigations related to wildlife crime
• Training course on online wildlife trade
