Working for HealthNet TPO
As a dynamic and knowledge-based organisation, we address complex and global issues in some of the world’s most challenging places. We have more than 3,600 members of staff working in our project countries, who are supported by our small dedicated team in Amsterdam. In addition, we work with an elaborate network of consultants and trusted partners on various fields of expertise.
We have country offices in Afghanistan, Burundi and South Sudan and our national teams are experienced professionals in their field. We strive to work with national staff and with a limited number of expatriates. Our staff carry out projects that build on the existing capacities and resources of communities affected by conflict. We use local expertise and evidence-based solutions so that our projects are sustainable and long lasting.
