Cette mission s'inscrit dans la stratégie du Parc National de l'Upemba, en République démocratique du Congo, qui vise à concilier conservation de la biodiversité et développement socio-économique. L'expert devra concevoir et accompagner la mise en œuvre de modèles économiques durables capables de générer des revenus pour le parc, des emplois pour les communautés locales et des bénéfices environnementaux. Le poste requiert une forte coordination avec les départements finances, conservation, développement communautaire et le directeur du parc, ainsi qu'une approche axée sur les résultats et le suivi-évaluation.

Les missions principales couvrent : l'évaluation du potentiel économique des activités existantes et nouvelles ; l'élaboration de stratégies commerciales et de plans d'affaires ; la structuration de chaînes de valeur agricoles, agro-industrielles, d'élevage, de pêche, d'énergies renouvelables et de tourisme ; la conception de cadres juridiques et de gouvernance pour les entités commerciales ; l'installation de systèmes de gestion financière, opérationnelle et de suivi-évaluation ; la mobilisation de financements via le financement mixte, les partenariats public-privé et les bailleurs ; l'appui à la faisabilité technique et au développement d'infrastructures industrielles, de stockage et logistiques ; et le renforcement des capacités des équipes locales en gestion d'entreprise, analyse financière et gestion de projets.

Le profil recherché est celui d'un expert senior justifiant d'un master en administration des affaires, économie, finance, agroéconomie, ingénierie ou développement économique, et d'au moins dix ans d'expérience en développement des affaires et investissement. Une expérience en contextes fragiles ou émergents, dans les chaînes de valeur agricoles, le montage de partenariats public-privé et la mobilisation de fonds est essentielle. La maîtrise courante du français et de l'anglais est requise. Une expérience des projets financés par des bailleurs, des procédures d'achat internationales, des énergies renouvelables, des mécanismes de financement ou des systèmes ERP constitue un atout. Une précédente expérience dans les aires protégées ou les paysages de conservation est hautement souhaitable.
