Employer: Nonviolent Peaceforce

Nonviolent Peaceforce is an international non-governmental organisation with offices in Belgium as well as in Britain, India, Ecuador and the USA. Its goal is to contribute to peace and justice through providing a trained, international civilian peace force for nonviolent intervention in conflicts. The Nonviolent Peaceforce will travel to conflict areas at the invitation of local organisations to prevent death and destruction and protect human rights, thus creating the space for local groups to struggle nonviolently, enter into dialogue, and seek peaceful resolution.

The work will require teamwork, patience, excellent communication skills, maturity and a solid understanding of the theory and practice of nonviolence. Team members will live in shared housing in volatile areas of Sri Lanka. They will work closely with a citizen committee set up by our partner organization to support citizen participation in the peace process, deter violence and report human rights abuse. A full description of the project can be found on the Nonviolent Peaceforce website. The project is expected to last three years; we are hoping team members can make a minimum commitment of two years.
Team members will receive the following:
- Housing and a per diem allowance equivalent to local conditions
- Outstanding training developed by an international team
- A stipend of US$800 per month to be sent home to one’s family or be made available at the end of service
- Transportation
- Insurance
Subject to availability of funds, finalists will be assessed in Thailand approximately 27 June to 1 July. Those who are invited to join the Nonviolent Peaceforce will remain in Thailand for team training and then have the opportunity to fly home and get things in order before further training in Sri Lanka 16 August and deployment in early September.
If interested, please reply by 5 May.
