PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible.

In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.


Mercy Corps Netherlands (MCNL) was established in December 2017 as a non-profit association, operating in collaboration with its sister organizations, Mercy Corps Global and Mercy Corps Europe (MCE) as one global organization.

All three entities share the same mission, vision, core values and charitable objectives, as well as operational resources for the support and implementation of programme activities.

MCNL is operating from the Hague Humanity Hub, joining a dynamic community of innovators in the humanitarian and peacebuilding space.

The breadth and impact of our programmes make Mercy Corps a unique and truly rewarding place to work.

Our teams are proud of what we achieve in the field and we are always looking for talented individuals who share our passion and commitment.


Mercy Corps' ambitious goal is to raise our profile in the Netherlands and exponentially broaden our sphere of influence, shaping the perspectives of governments and key stakeholders in The Hague and Brussels.

We aspire to raise awareness about the multifaceted challenges we address, with a distinct focus on the dynamic intersection of climate and conflict, and humanitarian aid.

Although it is essential for our mission to secure funding, we also aim to ensure sustained and long-term engagement of governments and other key stakeholders/donors in the Netherlands and Brussels with the vulnerable communities and critical contexts we work with.

This strategic collaboration is essential to ensure that humanitarian response helps people become increasingly dependent and resilient.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand the Dutch and European policy space, and their relation to development and humanitarian efforts, and learn how to engage with external stakeholders in this space.
  • Gain insights and confidence in policy and advocacy, communications, and other external engagement processes and techniques of an INGO.
  • Gain experience in a multicultural work environment, coordinating and communicating with a global team across time zones and geographies, many of whom operate in complex, challenging environments.
  • Build planning and organizational skills.
  • Learn about INGOs' and governments' involvement in key topical areas such as climate change and adaptation, food security, and humanitarian aid.

DELIVERABLES:

  • Supporting policy research for international climate negotiations, in particular the Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance, and supporting research for advocacy efforts with Dutch and EU stakeholders in the fields of emerging humanitarian response and climate impacts
  • Documentation, analysis and advice:

Monitor the relevant Dutch political landscape and key policy documents and summarize this into potential strategic opportunities for Mercy Corps, particularly in MCNL priority areas, such as Conflict Prevention, Climate Change Adaptation and Food & Water Security.- Organize and coordinate Mercy Corps' contribution to several large external engagement events, and plan communications on reports.- Offer support on administrative tasks such as keeping the MCNL's contact database up to date.


THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:

  • Is enrolled as a graduate student, majoring in international development, international relations, conflict studies, or a related field.
  • Has a demonstrable interest in the intersection between conflict and climate, humanitarian aid, and food & Water security.
  • Is familiar with the Dutch policy and development space, and preferably has knowledge (or interest in) the advocacy space in the Netherlands. Having knowledge/interest in the advocacy space in the EU is a plus.
  • Is wellorganized, proactive, and communicative. Additionally, flexibility and resourcefulness are also appreciated.
  • Is wellversed in computer literacy: skilled and confident user of Office 365, experience with design s
