Finance and Administration Coordinator( Maternity Cover)

Saferworld is an independent non-governmental organisation that works to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives. We work with civil society, governments, non-state actors, and international organisations to encourage and support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy development, and through programming that supports the actions of others. Our priority is people – we believe in a world where everyone can lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from fear and insecurity. We are a not-for-profit organisation operational in countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Saferworld is committed to providing a safe and trusted environment that safeguards our staff, partners and communities. Our organisational integrity is derived from the values and principles that underpin and guide our work.

We work with communities that are engaged in a process to identify their conflict, justice, and security concerns and needs, and assist them to engage with relevant local authorities to address issues. We conduct research and policy analysis and provide technical assistance to diverse stakeholders to help build more inclusive and responsible security and justice institutions that are accountable to the public and focused on keeping people safe. We are particularly committed to supporting women, youth, ethnic minorities and other marginalised groups to access and influence the state and non-state security and justice sectors.

The programme has a strong focus on promoting the development of civil society actors to engage in these sectors to improve the situation for communities in conflict-affected areas and to support the development of more inclusive, accountable and responsive security and justice sectors.
