The EAGLE Network is looking for activists with some experience of living, travelling or working in Africa. You will be motivated - on the one hand - by the failure of aid, the widespread corruption and the lack of justice and conviction. And on the other hand, by the hope of bringing about change, tackling the corruption and demanding much more from civil society and non-governmental organizations.
Sub-Saharan Africa continues to underperform and across the development indicators, including the Millennium Development Goals. Yet the international aid system continues to reinforce the development myth - that pumping in more money to the existing system will eventually solve Africa’s problems. Something must change!
The EAGLE Network seeks ‘super-volunteers’ to live and operate in Sub-Saharan Africa, as a new generation of independent activists. If you are selected, you will be given a life opportunity to get involved in the mission to change the corrupt system from within, to influence the power-brokers and to fight the good cause for the greater good.
You will be part of a network, given training and tools to pursue the activism path, initially in wildlife related issues and later as you choose.
Essential conditions for applicants:
1. Self confidence
2. Strong ability to adapt to pressure and stress
3. Willing and able to live in basic conditions
4. Able to enter into and manage insecure and challenging situations, willing to take informed risks
5. Strong ability to think creatively and outside of the box
6. Independent and able to travel alone in new regions
7. Strong resilience and perseverance until results are achieved
8. Strong ability to learn and implement learning into the activities
9. Strong character, ability to lead teams and inspire
10. Strong personal value system, non-conformist and charismatic
11. Experience in volunteering and strong spirit for activism
12. Some experience of living, travelling or working in Africa and outside it, liking diversity
13. Strong desire to effect change in society and take leadership
Necessary conditions:
