As part of this change, we are recruiting a Programme Manager to be based in Monrovia, with responsibility for leading the daily work of our programme team and ensuring the effective implementation of our programmes in Liberia.

Deadline for applying: 3 November, 2025

The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation

Kvinna till Kvinna has defended women’s rights since 1993 — for every woman’s right to be safe and to be heard. Today, we are one of the world’s leading women’s rights organisations, working directly in areas affected by war and conflict to strengthen women’s influence and power. We work closely with over 150 local partner organisations across 20 countries to end violence against women, achieve lasting peace, and close the gender gap once and for all.

The future is equal. And together, we are change.
