BackgroundLocal civil society organisations (CSOs) play a crucial role in Papua New Guinea in conveying the voices of the rural population and their needs to key decision-makers. Larger organisations based in the capital Port Moresby or other urban centers generally have little experience with and connections to marginalized people and are therefore restricted in authentically representing their interests.NGO PRO has made a name for itself through innovative problem-solving strategies and good advisory concepts and is attempting to stabilize CSOs and grassroots organisations institutionally and strengthen them programmatically. It is one of the few local training and advisory institutions in the social and development sector, catering to both young individuals and adults.Over the years, NGO PRO has strengthened various local grassroots organisations, especially from the Momase region and Bougainville, through training and small amounts of financial support. These organisations can now act more independently, network and work together for the benefit of the rural population.The organization manages a small project fund to support the grassroots movements in their social commitment and further qualify them in setting up social enterprises to allow them to become more financially independent.This key partner of Bread for the World is looking for an international professional who will train and upskill NGO PRO employees using adult education methods and didactics.
