• Ensure they have the resources to survive, minimise and recover from emergencies and environmental threats.
• Work for peace and security, reducing the risk of violence, forced displacement or armed conflict.
• Lobby the UK and EU governments to prevent, respond and resolve conflicts and emergencies.
This is a very interesting project whereby the successful volunteer will be required to pull together a five-year transaction listing for the Action for Better Governance Programme. You will be located in Head Office in London with travel to Mozambique, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Malawi and DRC over a 6 or 8 week period.
Data collection –

Consolidate and analyse information –
• To examine collected transaction listings and see if it matches with reported expenditure to DFID GTF.
• Flag anomalies and gaps in the consolidated listing information and provide solutions where there are gaps to the partners.
You will need to deliver:
• Complete transaction listing for all reported expenditure.
