Bread for the World Pacific Office and its partner organisations

The international office of Bread for the World Pacific, called the Liaison Office (VEST), has already existed for about 15 years. Its main tasks are to accompany financially supported projects and to advise and qualify the approximately 50 church and non-church partner organisations in Melanesia, especially in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Fiji. Project activities focus on democracy promotion, human rights, climate change, food security and lobbying against deep-sea mining. In addition, VEST supports the lobbying work of partner organisations and represents Bread for the World in the region. There is a cooperation with the Southeast Asia and Pacific Department in Berlin. In addition to the director, VEST currently has 11 employees.

Among the partner organisations are small organisations with great political influence. They are the mouthpiece of civil society and highly motivated to work for socially just and sustainable development. The importance of development cooperation in the Pacific, for example with regard to the consequences of climate change, is growing. An expansion of partner organisations is imminent.

In this context, your expertise in project management will contribute to the development cooperation efforts by supporting partner organizations in areas such as result-oriented planning, project monitoring and evaluation, and securing external funding. Your guidance will encompass activities such as proposal writing, implementing evaluation recommendations, establishing monitoring systems, and report generation.
