Job Announcement Operations/Security Coordinator Part-time

The National Democratic Institute (NDI), with support from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), implemented a one-year program in 2013 to provide citizens and members of civil society organizations with the skills to engage local decision-makers and to advocate for issues of importance to their communities.

NDI provided technical assistance to two local civic organizations in the West Bank as they conducted community needs assessments, identified priority issues within their municipalities, and formed committees which engaged elected officials to address the communities needs.
