Background
The Civil Peace Service (ZFD) Program was founded in 1999 as a cooperation of nine German civil society agencies working in the field of non-violent conflict transformation with the German Federal Ministry for International Cooperation and Development as donor. GIZ is one of these agencies and the biggest. ZFD’s mission is to build peace with partners in post- conflict societies around the world. Today, ZFD programs are implemented in 22 countries. In Iraq, the program is new and still “under construction”. By end of 2019, it should comprise up to ten national and international advisors who will work with various government and civil society partners. The main fields of intervention are dealing with the crimes committed by the so-called “Islamic State”/Daesh psychosocially and supporting the reintegration of refugees. The program has two special target groups: survivors of the crimes as well as suspected former child soldiers of Daesh in Iraqi detention centers and IDP camps.
For this purpose, ZFD is seeking an Iraqi national for the position of a “Training Assistant” for the next possible start of contract.
