The CITES Secretariat is administered by UN Environment and is located at the Geneva duty station.This assignment is part of the CITES Secretariat's work under the Outreach and Projects Unit, Monitoring of the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) Programme.
The MIKE programme incorporates the system established by the CITES Conference of the Parties to monitor levels of illegal killing of elephants at more than 90 conservation areas spread across 45 elephant range States in Africa and Asia, with the goal of providing reliable information and building capacity for the management of elephant populations.

Minimising the Illegal Killing of Elephants and Other Endangered Species (MIKES) is a project funded by the European Union and implemented under the MIKE programme.
It provides support for generating data on the status and trends in African elephant populations, illegal killing and illegal trade in ivory, as well as for activities to strengthen the capacity of wildlife law enforcement agencies at the national level and in focal sites to reduce the impacts of poaching and illegal wildlife trade.
The second phase of the project is currently underway which commenced in 2019 and is concluding in 2025.Following the successful implementation of the previous MIKES projects and taking into account the new strategic framework of the current programmatic cycle of the European Commission, the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG-INTPA) agreed for the CITES Secretariat to develop a third phase of the project for financing by the European Development Fund.
