Regional Programme and Humanitarian Manager

Cordaid is an international organisation for development and humanitarian assistance, working especially in fragile and conflict-affected regions. Guided by Christian values of human dignity, justice and compassion, we work towards a world without poverty and with equitable opportunities for all. More than 1.9 billion people live in fragile contexts where access to essential services and opportunities is limited.
