Your cooperation with AGIAMONDO and CDJP
Responsible and challenging
AGIAMONDO e.V. is the personnel service of German Catholics for development cooperation. In the Civil Peace Service, we offer professionals the opportunity for meaningful service in cooperation with local development actors. The Civil Peace Service (ZFD) is a personnel program for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions. It is committed to a world in which conflicts are resolved without violence.
Cameroon is a country with great cultural diversity. In many places, however, social prejudices, conflicts over resources and a lack of dialogue lead to tensions. CDJP Douala has been active for many years in peace education, psychosocial support and legal counselling. You will work closely with target groups, with colleagues and volunteers of the commission, and with staff of the Catholic radio station.
Douala is a major city in southern Cameroon and the country’s economic centre. The city offers basic infrastructure, sufficient housing options, international schools (French, American, bilingual) and medical facilities. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. The security situation is generally stable; however, certain neighbourhoods should be avoided after dark in consultation with the partner organisation. International flight connections are available daily.
