ActionAid Recruiting in 15 Various Positions

ActionAid Recruiting in 15 Various Positions.

ActionAid was founded as a charity in the UK in 1972, and soon grew its presence in countries around the world. In the 1990s, we adopted our human rights-based approach to development. ActionAid International was formed in 2003 to provide the global secretariat for the ActionAid federation of country offices. The Constitution of ActionAid International can be accessed here.  Our head office is in Johannesburg, South Africa, and we also have hubs in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

This is our international website, where we share inspiring stories from around the federation, bold thought-leadership and practical tools that catalyse change. You can visit any of our websites to find out more about the work of ActionAid offices around the world, and how you can get involved. We also have a Global Leadership Team, comprising some staff from ActionAid International, and a number of country directors from around the world. You can learn more about this team here.
