JOB VACANCY
Hivos is a non-governmental organization, rooted in the Netherlands and
guided by humanist values, that aims to contribute to a free, fair and
sustainable world where citizens, women and men, have equal access to
resources, opportunities and markets and can participate actively and
equally in decision making processes that determine their lives, their
society and their future. Hivos' basic commitment is to poor and
marginalized people - and their organizations - in countries of the global
South and east, and Eastern Europe. A sustainable improvement of their
situation is the ultimate benchmark for the work and efforts of Hivos.
Hivos focuses on four main themes: Expression & Engagement, Rights &
Citizenship, Green Entrepreneurship and Action for Change. Within the Action
for Change theme Hivos is running a climate and energy campaign. The long
term objective of this campaign is a worldwide switch to 100% renewable
energy to reduce climate change and to assure access to energy for all. This
implies a reduction of energy consumption in high income regions and an
increase in access to renewable energy for poor men and women in developing
countries to alleviate poverty, improve living conditions and propel
economic development. More than 1.5 billion people are currently without
access to electricity and nearly 2.4 billion people still use traditional
biomass fuels for cooking and heating, causing severe health problems and
the death of 1.9 million people per year from indoor pollution. One project
within this campaign is the Iconic Island initiative.
