Your cooperation with AGIAMONDO and Caritas Freetown
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 (CPS) 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.
Sierra Leone is still heavily affected by the consequences of colonial tensions and civil war (1991–2002). Poverty, unemployment, weak state structures and the effects of Ebola, natural disasters and the coronavirus pandemic are placing a heavy burden on the population. Rising living costs and unequal access to resources are exacerbating social tensions – peace remains fragile.
You will work in the CPS coordination office in Sierra Leone, which cooperates with numerous civil society partner organisations in the areas of peace promotion, violence prevention and organisational development. The office has basic filing and documentation routines and a well-coordinated local team (coordination assistant, APME, LocFin) that is open to further developing organisational processes. Your task is to work together to strengthen these structures and establish them reliably.
Freetown offers a lively working environment, but requires a high degree of adaptability. Medical care is limited to basic services, so more complex cases often require travel abroad. The location is particularly suitable for singles and couples without children. Housing is available, but varies in quality and infrastructure. The security situation is considered largely stable, but requires cautious behaviour. The tropical climate with high humidity and a pronounced rainy season can be an additional strain.
