Trust Consultancy and Development, an independent research and third-party monitoring and evaluation firm based in Gaziantep, Turkey, with sister companies in Palestine, Pakistan, and Iraq, is offering an intensive six-month in-person internship in Grants and Proposal Writing, based in Damascus or Aleppo, Syria. We provide high-quality research, data collection, and analysis for NGOs and donors across the MENA region and beyond.
