Aug 20, Mensen met een Missie Country Coordinator Jobs in South Sudan

Country Coordinator South Sudan

Mensen met een Missie is an organisation for international cooperation and solidarity dedicated to changing beliefs that lead to hatred and violence. To do this, we’ve joined forces with hundreds of partner organisations across Africa, Asia and Latin America. With courageous individuals who stand up for justice, inclusion, and equality, often going against the grain.

Together, we facilitate dialogue between people on each side of a conflict. We inspire reflection and discussion of harmful beliefs to reduce mutual hatred and mistrust. Our dedicated team of about 30 people in The Hague, Netherlands, works daily with passion and commitment to build a world without violence.

In January 2024, Mensen met een Missie launched “The Peace Project”’. This 8-year programme aims to transform harmful convictions, foster cohesive connections, and promote conducive conditions for peace in the DRC, Burundi, Uganda, and South Sudan. Key components of the programme include promoting alternative narratives, fostering trauma healing, and igniting (interfaith) dialogue. We are also actively advocating for fair and inclusive policies and practices at local, national and international levels.
