About RRI
The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) is a global coalition of over 150 organizations dedicated to advancing the forest, land, and resource rights of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, Afro-descendant Peoples, and in particular the women within these groups. RRI’s members capitalize on each other’s strengths, expertise, and geographic reach to achieve solutions more effectively and efficiently. RRI leverages the power of its global coalition to amplify the voices of local peoples and proactively engage governments, multilateral institutions, and private sector actors to adopt institutional and market reforms that support the realization of rights.
RRI's 20th Anniversary
The RRI 20th Anniversary celebration will take place in early May of 2025 in the Washington, D.C. metro area, ideally at a venue within 10 miles of RRI’s office. It will be a high-profile event, convening key figures from the rights, climate, and conservation sector globally many of whom are Indigenous, local community and Afro-descendant leaders of territorial communities.
We will invite partners, allies, donors, multilateral agencies, communicators, and thought leaders to reflect on the past and future of RRI. This will be a 2-day event bringing together up to 250 people, many from the Global South where the RRI coalition members are present. In addition to the anniversary activities, we will organize two side meetings, including a coalition meeting for about 70 people and a Board meeting with 15 people.
The tentative program for the anniversary week includes:
1. 2-day conference including
2. Anniversary celebration ceremony (4h event details TBD)
3. Side meetings
The two side meetings will be organized by the RRI team, the consultant is only expected to manage vendors such as interpretation, catering, and AV team which should be the same ones as the anniversary activities.
Generally, logistics for RRI meetings and conferences are planned in-house. However, due to the complexity of this event, RRI is seeking a Consultant to aid the Coalition and Strategic Networks (CSN) team and broader RRI staff in its planning and support of participant arrangements for travel and accommodations. Contract personnel with extensive experience in planning and execution of similar (or identical) events are ideal.
Scope of Work
We hope to kick-off the event planning in late July, by when we will expect to start procuring vendors, especially the venue. The consultant is expected to work part-time from August to January, starting with the vendor procurement, flight arrangements, and managing RSVPs. Once we are closer to the event, from February to May the dedicated hours are expected to increase to full-time dedication up until the event.
Responsibilities of the role include:
The RRI team will be responsible for all programmatic planning, including the agenda details and objectives for each segment of the week, managing speakers, and the content presented.
