VACANCY/ VACATURE: Country Director South-Sudan

For the Country Office in Juba, South Sudan, Cordaid is looking for a Country Director

Introduction
The Cordaid Juba office was established in 2009. Starting with only one staff in 2009, the office now counts 15 staff in Juba, and another 15 in the Malakal sub-office. Through its own activities and through partnerships with local organizations, Cordaid works on the following theme’s: Security & Justice, Healthcare, Extractives, Food Security, Women Leadership for Peace and Security, CMDRR/ER and Investments.

Cordaid distinguishes three main processes: strategic financing, communication, and fundraising. The office in Juba is active on all three processes.

Currently Cordaid is in a process of transition from a traditional NGO depending largely on Dutch government resources to a social entrepreneur.

In verband met geldwolven die denken geld te kunnen claimen op krantenartikelen die op een blog als deze worden geplaatst maar na meestal een dag voor de krantenlezers aan leeswaardigheid hebben ingeboet terwijl wij vreemdelingenrecht specialisten ze soms wel nog jaren gebruiken om er een kopie van te maken voor een zaak ga ik over tot het plaatsen van alleen het eerste stukje. Ja ik weet het: de kans dat u doorklikt is geringer dan wanneer het hele artikel hier staat en een kopie van het orgineel maken handig kan zijn voor uw zaak. Wilt u zelf wat overnemen van dit weblog. Dat mag. Zet er alleen even een link bij naar het desbetreffende artikel zodat mensen niet alleen dat wat u knipt en plakt kunnen lezen maar dat ook kunnen doen in de context.
