Interact Worldwide Vacancies
Interact Worldwide is a UK-based INGO working to reduce poverty through advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights and addressing HIV/AIDS in resource poor settings. From October 2009 Interact Worldwide became an autonomous member of the Plan UK family of charities. The two charities will remain separate entities with separate governance arrangements but Plan UK has legal control. Interact have for several years been at the cutting edge of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and HIV/AIDS programming and advocacy, strongly promoting a rights based approach and integrated provision of SRH and HIV services. The partnership will allow Interact to implement more programmes in more countries and so help more young people and adults to lead healthier lives. The partnership encompasses all aspects of both charities’ work, including programmes, advocacy, fundraising, operations and governance.”
