Humanitarian Volunteer in Project Management in Mozambique

Activity description

If you too believe that a better world is possible, join us in Mozambique! WeWorld Onlus works especially for girls, boys, women and young people, actors of change in every community for a fairer and more inclusive world. It helps people to overcome emergencies and guarantee a life worth living, by offering opportunities and a better future through programmes of human and economic development. You will support the project team in implementing project activites with a focus on administration and procurement tasks. The activities implemented focus on preparing, reducing and managing the risks related to natural and manmade disaster. You will acquire knowledge on project management, forecast budget and follow-up, definition of procurement plans and tender dossiers in line with donor’s requirements, accounting management, partner’s expenditures control, the preparation of financial reports, and accounting records for auditing purposes.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

You will have the opportunity to live together with another volunteer in a shared flat. The hosting organization will cover the accommodation costs and utility bills and you will be provided with free Wi-fi a local sim card and a laptop. You will receive pocket money for your personal expenses, including food and local transport. Travel costs from your home country to the country of deployment will be covered by WeWorld. Insurance (Henner) will be activated for the whole duration of your deployment.

Training during the activity

You will attend a pre-departure induction which will focus on WeWorld’s work and policies, technical and thematic aspects of humanitarian aid, Safety&Security, mentoring, and practical arrangements (visa, insurance, etc). Once in the country, you will participate in an induction on the programs and your contribution to the hosting organization. We encourage you to participate in training opportunities during your deployment, online or organized by our national and international partners; you will have a small budget for external courses. You will have access to WeWorld's e-learning platform.
