Professional (f/m/x) for Organizational Development and Fundraising in the Philippines

Background

Mindanao Peacebuilding Institute (MPI) was founded in 2000 with the participation of the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CA-FOD), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in the Asia-Pacific region. In 20+ years, the renowned training institution has trained over 2500 peace workers from a total of 60 countries - mainly from Southeast Asia and South Asia - on peacebuilding measures and conflict resolution strategies. In addition to imparting theoretical and practical knowledge, it aims to contribute to global networking and solidarity in conflict transformation and peacebuilding. The work focuses on respect for human rights and close cooperation with various actors as catalysts for peace and social transformation. To this end, MPI educates and trains individuals and institutions in peacebuilding measures, produces, and disseminates materials and knowledge on peaceful conflict transformation, and networks peace activists with one another. With 7 employees, MPI is one of the smaller Philippine organizations. Its work is best known for its annual peace training courses, which are aimed at employees from NGOs, local peace initiatives, colleges, and government agencies. Despite the challenges, employees strongly identify with the organization's philosophy, which leads to consistent employee loyalty. As a renowned but smaller organization, MPI is financed exclusively through donations, one-off grants, and the annual peacebuilding training. The financial situation is stable but challenging. MPI is looking for a dedicated professional to support the realignment of the organization's strategy and drive resource mobilization. The specialist will support MPI in the development and implementation of new programs and institutional strengthening.

The position is based in Davao City, Philippines.
