SOUTHERN AFRICAN RECRUITMENT DRIVE

The Southern African Civilian Standby Roster for International Humanitarian and Peace building Missions is more easily known as SAFDEM.

SAFDEM is a SADC based NGO managing a database of southern Africans who have an interest and experience in and the qualifications for humanitarian relief and peace building, for possible deployment with UN agencies and international NGOs.

SAFDEM recruits individuals for the database from the SADC region (citizens and legal residents), then matches their qualifications and skills to job descriptions received from the international organizations working in the field. In addition, SAFDEM identifies training opportunities for its candidates to enhance their skills and expertise.

While the range of expertise of candidates already on the database is broad, we are currently searching for additional experts in the following areas; nutrition, food and non-food distribution, water/sanitation, media/Information management, humanitarian affairs, human rights monitoring, refugee/child protection, legal drafting, constitutional development, transitional justice, community development, administrators, human resource and financial managers, logistics (includes customs clearance and transport of goods), and security.

All applicants must have good computer skills. International languages in addition to English would be an advantage. In addition, individuals must be prepared to work in harsh and sometime insecure environments, be flexible, have a good sense of humour, and be team players.

Joining SAFDEM involves a registration process, which includes filling in an application form (obtained on request), submitting of a CV, checking of references and an interview.
