Wise words for job seekers
It’s been almost four years since conflict broke out in Myanmar following a military coup that led to the imprisonment of democratically elected government officials and citizens who spoke out. Apart from the ongoing civil war that has displaced millions of people, Myanmar citizens also have to contend with floods and storms that also kill, destroy, and damage.?
It’s against this backdrop that 18.6 million people, a third of the population, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Yet fragile relationships with the military authorities mean the operating context for development and aid organizations is particularly difficult. With this in mind, hiring organizations require specific skills and experience to navigate the fragile context. Devex found out what they are looking for.
