Khanya-aicdd (the African Institute for Community-Driven Development) was founded in 1998 and has undertaken a wide range of innovative work in the region on community-driven development and sustainable livelihoods. Much of this work has concentrated on rethinking the role government plays in supporting poor people, eg poor people are able to influence planning systems, and resource allocation. Khanya emphasises participatory learning process approaches, working with partnerships of stakeholders in different countries of Africa. As an expanding organization we are continuously improving and evolving in a dynamic changing world in order to respond to the challenges of Community Driven Development and livelihoods across the region.

In our quest to add additional capacity we are looking for skilled people in South Africa and Lesotho with strong development experience to work with us as associates on assignments. Areas of expertise required include decentralization & local government, service delivery processes, accountability, community development, planning, LED, action research, training, learning & facilitation. Candidates should have a Masters Degree and at least 8 years experience. Only applications which have demonstrated a real understanding of our work will be considered.
