Cord has a long and proud history of working with communities worldwide to build their capacity for peace. Cord recognises that when relationships break down between people and those holding power people’s rights are ignored, the likelihood of conflict then increases, and poverty is prolonged.

The focus of our global strategy is on transforming these dysfunctional relationships into ones that create peaceful and inclusive societies where everyone can live free from fear and with the freedom to flourish. Cord’s work on freedom of religion and belief (FoRB) and preventing sexual violence achieves new freedoms and security for people in Myanmar.

We are looking for an inspirational leader to re-establish Cord’s team in Myanmar, to embed good operating practices and launch a new multi-year FoRB project.
