International Development Worker

International Development Workers are employed by non-profits, charities, and government organisations to setup infrastructure and welfare programs in developing countries. They usually specialise in one area of expertise (eg, water, housing, public health, sanitation, child protection, disaster response) and may be responsible for project management in-the-field, inter-government liaisons, project reporting, advocacy and awareness work.

As an International Development Worker you could be meeting with government officials to plan the implementation of a sanitation program, collaborating with a local women’s group to run a family planning workshop, preparing a report to submit to the executives in your NGO, or overseeing a team of local tradespeople as they build a hospital.

To succeed in this role you’ll need to be passionate about making a difference in the world and willing to carry out short and (long-term) assignments in developing countries all around the globe.
