TI has recently adopted a new five year strategy which sets out a number of important directions for the Movement. One of the top strategic priorities we have identified is the “Increased empowerment of people and partners around the world to take action against corruption”.

Senior Director – Campaigns & Communications Amnesty International

Senior Director – Campaigns & Communications London HELP GIVE A VOICE TO THOSE DENIED THEIR OWN For fifty years, we’ve been campaigning for human rights wherever justice, freedom and truth are denied. We’ve reshaped policies, challenged governments and taken corporations to task. And in doing so, we’ve changed thousands of lives for the better. As we deepen Amnesty International’s work in the global south - in particular sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil and India - we are looking for an entrepreneurial leader for Amnesty International’s global campaigns and communications. About the role As part of the Senior Leadership team, your first challenge will be to bring together our Campaigns and Communications work to create a single, integrated function. From there, you’ll develop a comprehensive Campaigns & Communications strategy, setting out a clear and cohesive direction that ensures our campaigns and the messages we convey are consistent around the globe, while enabling each of our regional hubs to interpret and develop them for their local and target audiences. Once the strategy is in place, you’ll lead the planning, development and implementation of the campaigns themselves – combining the power of hard evidence and public opinion to promote activism while making sure each campaign is closely aligned with our wider research, strategy and policy agendas. About you This is an exciting challenge that calls for a special set of skills and experience. The chances are you’ll come to us from a similarly senior role with another NGO. You will have an exceptional record of leading innovative campaigns that have mobilized people and the media to fight human rights violations. If your experience extends to both the Campaigns and Communications sides of the challenge, so much the better. Most important, however, will be your deep understanding of the factors that drive people to get involved with a given cause and your ability to deliver successful campaigns. Your inspirational leadership skills will obviously have a big part to play in that. But so too will your detailed knowledge of campaigning methodologies and practices, your acute political awareness and high levels of emotional intelligence. About us Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations, human rights education, or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere. To find out more about this role and to apply online, please visit www.ai-isleadership.com Closing date: 6th November 2011

2.2. COOPI in Sierra Leone

COOPI has been working in Sierra Leone since 1971 in agriculture and health. After leaving the country in 1992 because of the war, COOPI returned to Sierra Leone in 1998, and has operated continuously since then in Kono and Western Area District. In 1998 – 2004, our activities focused on assistance to victims of war and infrastructure and institutional reconstruction and rehabilitation. Since 2005, our programmes have evolved from assistance to victims of war towards support for self-reliance. In 2008, COOPI carried out a strategic review and developed three strategic programmes for 2009 – 2011 as:

• Livelihood, Food Security and Youth Employment (to which this project contributes)

• Women’s Rights Programme

• Children’s Rights Programme

• Gender, HIV/AIDS, environmental management and fight to corruption are crosscutting issues.
