Programme Manager - Conflict Prevention and Risk Analysis

May 23, 2014 | Institute for Security Studies (ISS) Africa

The Conflict Prevention and Risk Analysis (CPRA) division of the ISS is offering an opportunity for a Programme Manager with experience in African conflict analysis, a sound understanding of African economic, security and governance challenges, including risk analysis experience; an effective network in Africa; and a strong record of publications, policy work, research, management and fund-raising.

The CPRA division provides continental conflict analysis and early warning to complement the state-based mechanisms of the African Union and other regional economic communities (RECs). This division is currently run from the ISS offices in Pretoria, Nairobi, Dakar and Addis Ababa.

The ISS Offices in Addis Ababa and Pretoria regularly interact with governments and intergovernmental organisations like the AU and RECs. The successful candidate will therefore have extensive knowledge of the African Peace and Security Architecture.

• A cover letter, detailing how you meet the requirements of the position.
• A detailed CV, including the names and contact details of three referees.

Only short-listed candidates will be contacted. The ISS is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to achieving employment equity in the workplace. Female applicants are especially encouraged to apply.
