New Job Opportunity at CARE International

POSITION: Chief of Party (CoP)

CARE International is a global network of independent national organizations, including CARE members, candidates, and affiliates, as well as social enterprises and thousands of community-based partner organizations, working together in over 100 countries to save lives, end poverty, and fight social injustice. For additional information, go to www.care-international.org.

CARE International in Ghana: In 1994, CARE began activities in Ghana. Since then, the Accra office has grown to assist initiatives in Togo and Benin through the CARE Gulf of Guinea country mission. CARE replaced the three-country mission in July 2010 with country offices in Ghana and Benin, the latter of which now oversees a small number of programs in Togo.

CARE Ghana’s projects are generally carried out in collaboration with local and civil society organizations. This allows CARE to expand its engagement with the government and the commercial sector, collaborate more effectively, and have the largest possible impact. CARE Ghana focuses on rural and vulnerable poor women, and its work is organized around health, governance, sustainable livelihoods, and education.
