AGIAMONDO e.V. is the personnel service of the German Catholics for Development Cooperation. The Civil Peace Service (CPS) offers development workers a meaningful role working with local development agents. The CPS is a personnel programme for peace-building and the prevention of violence in crisis and conflict regions. It sets out to promote a world in which conflicts are settled without violence. Working with church-related and civil-social partner organisations in Liberia, AGIAMONDO aims to make a contribution towards civil conflict management and the sustainable and equitable development of the country through peace-building measures.
Women in Liberia are among the most disadvantaged population groups, particularly in the area of education. High school dropout rates due to early marriage and teenage pregnancies are widespread, while initiatives to boost self-confidence are rare. Women have limited spaces to share feelings with other women, yet they are considered key actors for family well-being. As a CPS Gender Equitable Organisational Development Specialist, you will support Youth Crime Watch Liberia (YCW) to make a positive contribution to women's empowerment and gender equality.
