DRIVER NEEDED

International Alert is one of the world's leading peacebuilding organizations, with 30 years of experience supporting communities, advising governments, organizations and companies on how to build peace. Alert works with people in conflict-affected and threatened areas to make a positive difference for peace; to improve the substance and implementation of international policies relevant to peacebuilding; and to strengthen the peacebuilding sector. Alert currently has field offices in 15 countries, and was active in over 40 countries and territories across the world in 2014 in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-East Asia, Central Asia and the South Caucasus, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We are building peace along seven interlinked pathways: relations within and between communities, citizen-state relations; gender; economic development for peace; natural resource management; crime, violence and instability; and climate change. We use five methods to build peace along these pathways including dialogue, research, capacity-building, accompaniment, and targeted outreach. Alert is registered in Nigeria with the Corporate Affairs Commission and the National Planning Commission, and currently operates from Abuja, FCT and Maiduguri, Borno State in Nigeria
