Part-time position (80% FTE) 1. Background Forus is a global network supporting and connecting civil society for effective social change. It brings together 72 National NGO Platforms and 7 Regional Coalitions from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific, reuniting over 24.000 NGOs. Forus is a consortium partner in the Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment (CADE) project, a 45- month programme (2024 to 2027) funded by the European Commission, with the aim to increase the structural engagement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in global and regional multilateral and multistakeholder internet governance (IG) and standard-setting fora (IGF, ITU, IETF, ICANN), and to ensure the multiplier effect of such engagement through synergies among CSOs in support of an open internet, inclusive and human-centric policymaking processes, and a sustainable digital future.

Forus also aims to mobilize its global network and maximise the programme’s spillover effect, enhancing knowledge about global and regional multilateral and multistakeholder IG and standard-setting fora (IGF, ITU, IETF, ICANN) through regular bulletins, capacity strengthening sessions and webinars. Forus is building a peer-learning community across regions to enhance collaboration and leverage knowledge and experiences worldwide, with the goal to strengthen and amplify civil society advocacy messages to promote a human-centric policy approach and enhance trust among stakeholders, to advance inclusive and open IG, involve absent communities, and connect global IG policy processes with local IG- related initiatives. In the framework of this project, Forus seeks a dynamic, strategic and pro-active CADE Project coordinator to ensure the successful implementation of our commitments within the consortium.

We empower young people to change attitudes and behaviours, as well as services and policies, to advance and uphold sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender equality and (4) Climate Justice: Young people risk losing the most from climate change, yet they are systematically excluded from conversations to address it.
