ActionAid
is looking for experienced development practitioners, who are committed
to fight injustice together with our many partner organisations in the
global South.
Inspirators
are cross national placements of development practitioners with
significant hands on experience, who have focus on development work. We
are particularly seeking candidates with experience working within
accounta-bility, campaign & lobby, tax justice and the human rights
based approach. However, all candidates with relevant experience in the
field of development are welcome to register.
We
are looking for dedicated individuals, who would like to spend 3 to 9
months working in collaboration with one of ActionAid’s many partner
organisations in Africa, Asia, Central America and the Middle East.
Inspirators are volunteer placements.
As
an Inspirator, you would have your travel and accommodation expenses
covered. You would also receive a living allowance to cover your costs
of living while abroad and 400€ to cover some of the expenses you might
have in your home country while abroad. Please, be aware that all
allowances and subsidies are subject to local tax.
Why become an Inspirator?
Inspirator
placements offer an excellent opportunity to learn and share
experiences across national borders and cultures with likeminded
organisations. It is a chance to gain international work experience, and
perhaps even more “importantly, the opportunity to grow as a human
being.
This
experience was one I will never forget. … I have learned some valuable
lessons from this and hopefully those people I worked with and for, not
only learned something, but will repeatedly apply and harness their
learnings”
