Permanent
The
mobile revolution. Geopolitical power shifts. A radically altered
global economy. The world is changing, and so is the way that people
fight for their rights. In order to be effective, Amnesty
International’s (AI) International Secretariat needs to change how we
work. That’s why we have opened an East Africa Regional Office in Kenya.
And why we need your campaigning expertise with us on the ground.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Our
Great Lakes Campaigner will tackle issues like protection of civilians
in armed conflict, criminal justice reform, and freedom of expression
and association in Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo
(DRC). As a Campaigner, you can expect to have a direct impact on these
key areas, as well as on our overarching regional campaigning and
research strategies. Focusing mainly on the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi,
you’ll develop effective, strategic campaigning plans and work with both
AI colleagues and external partners to deliver them. You’ll also create
clear and compelling campaigning materials for a range of audiences,
writing reports and public statements, making videos and web features,
and raising awareness and mobilizing our members to effect human rights
change. And you’ll constantly look for ways to improve your work too,
researching effective campaigning methods, monitoring impact and staying
up to date with the latest human rights developments.
ABOUT YOU
A
practised campaigner, you’ll know how to create successful campaign
strategies and build awareness through powerful actions and recognized
techniques. You’ll also understand the importance of flexibility and be
ready to adapt and evolve your plans. We’ll expect you to understand
human rights and the political landscape within the Great Lakes Region
of Africa, both in general terms and specifically, with knowledge of
Rwanda, Burundi and DRC, as well as key thematic areas. You’ll be able
to translate that knowledge into campaign materials and creative
initiatives that inspire activism online and off, and have the fluency
to express complex ideas in English and French. You’ll have a network of
civil society and government contacts and the clout to represent AI to
audiences ranging from civil society groups and governments to our
global membership. Beyond that, you’ll be a real team player relishing
close collaboration with our researchers, colleagues and partners.
ABOUT US
Our
aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent,
international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and
truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of over three million
members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And
whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct
lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired
by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and
protected by everyone, everywhere.
