International Alert (IA) is an NGO that seeks to relieve the poverty, suffering and insecurity of people affected by war by transforming conflict from violence to sustainable peace. IA works with partner organisations in conflict regions in Africa and other continents to analyse the causes of conflict, facilitate dialogue, and help local actors develop peace-building skills. IA also seeks to influence international policies and practice by bringing into the policy arena the voices of those most affected by conflict. We are now looking for two Senior Programme Officers to work for IA's Great Lakes Programme which focuses primarily on Burundi, Rwanda and the DRC. The two posts are for different jobs, with different skill sets and experience required.
