Job Description

Company presentation:

COOPI is an independent, secular Italian non-governmental organization founded in Milan in 1965. For 58 years, COOPI has been committed to fighting poverty through long-term support and a constant presence on the ground alongside populations affected by war, socio-economic crises, and natural disasters. COOPI's activities aim to promote development and respond to emergencies. Since 1965, COOPI has implemented more than 1,700 development projects and emergency interventions in 65 countries, employing 58,000 local staff and directly benefiting 100 million people. In Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, COOPI promotes access to water, as well as the right to health and education for the poorest communities.

Context and mission:

Present in the DRC since 1977, COOPI has significantly increased its interventions in the country, particularly following the conflicts of the last 20 years. Starting in Kivu, where its first intervention took place, COOPI's activities have expanded to conflict zones to implement emergency programs for displaced populations and victims of war. Due to the evolving situation in certain provinces, COOPI has also undertaken multi-year projects to ensure a transition from emergency relief to development in various sectors, and to guarantee harmonious and sustainable development.

COOPI facilitates a relevant response to the needs of local populations through a coordination structure in Kinshasa and various bases in the provinces. Each year, COOPI implements approximately ten projects in the country with a budget exceeding US$10 million. It currently operates in the provinces of Kasai Central, Ituri, and Haut-Katanga, with projects focusing on nutrition, food security, protection, health, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), and education. The World Bank, the European Union, United Nations agencies, and the DRC Humanitarian Fund are COOPI's main donors in the country.
