Peacebuilding Coordinator (based in Nairobi)

Let's start this thing off with a job at World Vision Sudan. They need someone to "develop and guide WV Sudan's efforts to promote a just and lasting peace in Sudan." Easy. Apart from developing World Vision Sudan's conflict resolution and advocacy strategies you will also be responsible for keeping "accurate documentation for all conflict situations including early warning, occurrences, trends, lessons learned and future solutions."

You probably need a Master's Degree in something like sociology, development studies, public policy or conflict resolution, at least five years' experience in a similar role and an "excellent understanding of the dynamics of conflict resolution in the context of war, and extensive knowledge of Sudan." before you are considered for the job.

And you need to be willing to "travel extensively" to conflict areas.
