As a research-based campaigning organization, investigating and documenting human rights issues is fundamental to our advocacy and lobbying work. Our East Africa team requires a researcher to take the lead in initiating human rights research and action by providing regional and thematic expertise, excellent research skills and sound political judgement. A campaign oriented approach to your work is essential. You will be required to conduct and co-ordinate research activities, monitor, investigate and analyze political, legal and social developments and human rights conditions, give authoritative advice on these areas and prepare human rights action materials.
Personal Specifications:
Experience in working on human rights issues, you must have first-hand in-depth knowledge and experience of Kenya and/or Uganda, and an understanding and awareness of the cultures of East Africa. You'll have a background in activism, the social sciences including law or journalism with the ability to identify and thoroughly investigate those issues and ensure our voice has authority. You will need proven research and communication skills, impartial political judgement, coupled with strong strategic thought.
