Community Liaison (CL) is the medium through which MAG gathers, analyses and disseminates information in order to identify and implement the most effective solutions to the obstacles and dangers caused by remnants of conflict. It enables MAG to better target mine action resources to the areas of greatest need.
MAG has been working in DRC since 2004 and the programme has recently experienced a period of significant growth. We are currently recruiting Community Liaison Managers to work in our programme in the Democratic Republic of Congo; locations for these roles vary but include Bas Congo, Kasai Oriental and Bandundu.
As a Community Liaison Manager with MAG you will work within local communities and liaise with a wide range of relevant stakeholders. Your role will be to enhance national capacity building through the design and delivery of training and coaching to national Community Liaison staff. This will involve designing and delivering Mine Risk Education programmes to be implemented in the region by your Community Liaison teams.
Successful candidates will have experience of leading, motivating and managing national staff, have strong participatory learning and facilitation skills and experience of conducting needs or risk assessments in order to design and implement appropriate interventions. In addition, candidates should have experience in designing and delivering formal or informal training, with the ability to organize and coordinate activities or projects.
Areas of operations are often remote with basic amenities, so applicants will need to be able to deal with living and working in challenging environments. MAG takes its responsibility for the security and wellbeing of its staff very seriously.
Appointment to these positions will be subject to MAG receiving a signed donor contract.
Fluency in French & English is required for these roles.
