VACANCY – Capacity Building Assistant
The
Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is a French
non-profit organization working in over 30 countries worldwide to
provide emergency response, early recovery,
and development assistance to communities in need. ACTED’s
interventions seek to cover multiple aspects of humanitarian and
development crises through a multidisciplinary approach that is both
global and local, and adapted to each context. ACTED’s vision is
to establish emergency, rehabilitation, and development. ACTED aims to
guarantee the sustainability of relief interventions carried out during
crises by remaining in the field after the emergency to engage in
long-term support to communities in food security,
health, education, economic assistance, microfinance, advocacy, and
cultural promotion. ACTED’s actions are needs based and identified in a
participatory manner with communities in the areas where we are present.
