MANAGER INGO ACCOUNTABILITY CHARTER, INTERNATIONAL CIVIL SOCIETY CENTRE
Application Closing Date - 21 Jul 2013
Job Start Date - As soon as possible
Location - International Civil Society Centre, Agricolastraße 26, Berlin, Germany
The International Civil Society Centre
Over the past five years the International Civil Society Centre has established itself as the joint platform for the world’s leading international civil society organisations (ICSOs). Our aim is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ICSOs by bringing together the most important actors, facilitating communication and enabling cooperation. Our main events have become fixed dates in the calendars of key leaders in the civil society sector and we provide services to collective ICSO projects, for example the INGO Accountability Charter. A large number of the leading ICSOs are regular participants in the Centre’s programmes and play a key role in defining and forming the activities. For more information, please visit: www.icscentre.org.
Since 2010 the Centre hosts the Secretariat of the INGO Accountability Charter. The Charter is the only global, comprehensive and multi-sectoral accountability framework for international CSOs. It was developed and has been signed by a majority of the largest organisations, for example Amnesty International, Greenpeace International, Oxfam International, Plan International, Transparency International, World Vision International etc. Charter Member organisations commit to a thorough annual reporting process on their progress in various areas such as programme effectiveness, environmental performance, anti-corruption measures, and human resource issues. The reporting framework was developed by the Global Reporting Initiative and all reports are reviewed by an Independent Review Panel with prominent representatives from the CSO sector and beyond. For more information, please visit: www.ingoaccountabilitycharter.org.
The Charter Secretariat is made up of a small team within the larger Centre team. It supports and develops the reporting process, manages the governance procedures and organises peer exchange events for the Member organisations. We are now looking to fill the position as Manager of the INGO Accountability Charter, starting as soon as possible.
Responsibilities
In cooperation with the Charter Director, and supported by an intern/trainee as well as secondees from Member organisations, the Manager is responsible for the complete day-to-day management of the INGO Accountability Charter. The responsibilities include:
• Implementation of the Charter’s Strategy (2011-2015) in line with annual plans prepared by the Secretariat and endorsed by the Board.
