Description de l'emploi

Cordaid croit en un monde sans pauvreté ni exclusion. Nous nous battons pour des sociétés justes et durables où chaque personne compte. Nous défendons le partage des connaissances et des talents entre le Nord et le Sud, entre les agriculteurs et les entreprises, entre les activistes et les décideurs politiques. Là où la pauvreté, les conflits et l’exclusion divisent les sociétés, nous connectons les personnes et les communautés. Nous défendons le professionnalisme, l’expertise et la solidarité au-delà des frontières. Nous visons à maximiser notre impact social et à contribuer au changement systémique. Nous intervenons là où les catastrophes naturelles frappent, où les conflits déchirent les communautés et où le manque d’opportunités et de services maintient les familles dans une extrême pauvreté.
