Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work with one of the world’s largest international NGOs during your studies? Then you might be our new Student Assistant.
Who are we?
Humanitarian Disarmament & Peacebuilding (HDP) is one of DRC’s five core sectors, specialising in Humanitarian Mine Action and Peacebuilding.
HDP’s work is guided by the Safer Communities approach, working to strengthen community resilience and build local capacities to reduce and remove weapons-related risks, and factors that may result in the use of weapons. HDP strives to achieve this through Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) activities, focusing on landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW), as well as Peacebuilding programmes. Peacebuilding activities build on communities’ own visions, abilities, capacities and resources for improved security and safety. This is done through conflict sensitive, participatory and inclusive processes addressing conflict, security and safety at community level. HDP’s work is vital in helping refugees, internally displaced people and other communities return to their homes when the conflict has ended, allowing them to make use of the land they were forced to leave behind and facilitating development.
