Description du poste

International Programs Advisor (m/f/x) - 80% - for the Brussels office

As a broad solidarity movement in Flanders, Brussels, and worldwide, it strives Broederlijk Delen towards a sustainable world without inequality. Because there is enough for everyone. Yet people live in poverty. Sharing, redistributing, and investing in the communities' own plans in our partner countries: that is the solution for us. Broederlijk Delen works with around a hundred local organizations in Africa, Latin America, and Israel and Palestine, whose own plans and projects we support. Together with our partners and grassroots actors, we focus on three domains: political voice and participation, raw materials and food systems, and global solidarity in motion.

The International Team of Broederlijk Delen in Brussels is composed of a team leader, two international programs advisors, and an institutional fundraising manager.

The international programme advisors support and advise the country representatives (DCs) in the partner countries on a strategic, methodological and operational level regarding the development, implementation and follow-up of country programmes, in the role of process facilitator and sparring partner. The advisors also monitor the proper interaction between the policy of Broederlijk Delen and international practice. An advisor supports and reports to the International Team Leader and works closely with the International Programs Advisor colleague.

With this vacancy, we are looking for an advisor who will specifically work on the programs in the African partner countries (Senegal, Burkina Faso, DR Congo, Burundi, Uganda) in Haiti.

Broederlijk Delen is working on a restructuring in the partner countries; the advisory function will evolve accordingly.
