Description du projet ou contexte
Numerous regional initiatives have been launched to strengthen forecasting systems, improve collection and treatment methods, support scientific cooperation and promote regional dialogue. While these initiatives have generated valuable results, regional coordination remains fragmented, and there is scope to strengthen cooperation among institutions and partners.
Within this context, Expertise France, through the SARSEA Project financed by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and the Region of Guadeloupe, through the European Union-funded SARGCOOP II Project, are jointly organising a Regional Sargassum Governance Policy Lab.
The workshop is expected to take place in September 2026 in Mexico.
Its purpose is to bring together regional organisations, governments, technical agencies, research institutions and development partners to exchange on regional governance mechanisms and identify practical recommendations to strengthen regional cooperation.

- at least 10 years of experience facilitating regional policy dialogues;
- demonstrated experience in workshop design and facilitation;
- knowledge of environmental governance or regional cooperation;

- CV;
- technical proposal describing their proposed facilitation approach;

The consultant will work under the coordination of Expertise France, in close collaboration with the Region of Guadeloupe.
