Your work with AGIAMONDO and Caritas Germany
Responsible and challenging
Caritas Germany is implementing a transnational global programme together with seven partner organisations in Colombia and Brazil. The aim is to strengthen indigenous, traditional and other rural communities in their land and environmental rights, their political participation and their resilience to climate change. In a context characterised by extractivist economic models, armed groups and weak governmental structures, these communities play a vital role in protecting biodiversity, even as they face increasing pressure.
Based in Brasília, you will coordinate the second phase of the programme (2025-2028), advise seven partner organisations on strategic, technical and organisational issues, and support the programme's transnational cooperation and political impact.
