Resource for Careers and Opportunities in Human Rights, Peace and
Conflict Resolution, Development and Civil Society Development

For the past three years the Alliance for Conflict Transformation has
developed and maintained one of the premier resources for professionals
seeking employment and fellowship opportunities in the field of
peacebuilding, conflict resolution, international studies, development
and human rights. ACT currently maintains Announcement Forums for
individuals seeking jobs and scholarships and information on
conferences/events, and for organizations interested in recruiting
qualified candidates/applicants.

Over 100 organizations and universities throughout the world currently
use the forums to recruit advanced professional and academic candidates
in the fields of conflict resolution, peace studies, development, human
rights, women's rights, civil society development, micro finance and
similar fields.

To date, hundreds of individuals have obtained jobs and scholarships
through the service. As the Announcement Forums have grown, membership
has grown to several thousand people internationally - from advanced
professionals and academics to people seeking entry-level positions.

Posting of jobs/scholarships/conference and other announcements are free
of charge. For subscriptions a contribution is required, although
residents of designated international regions may qualify for a free
subscription.

There are three main forums for job, scholarships and events in peace
and conflict resolution, civil society development, human rights and
