The Career at BRAC International

The BRAC is an award-winning worldwide non-governmental development organization that envisions a future free of all types of exploitation and prejudice, in which everyone can reach their full potential. BRAC, a global leader in developing and implementing cost-effective, evidence-based programs, seeks to assist poor and disadvantaged communities in low-income nations, especially those in conflict-prone and post-disaster zones.

The BRAC was founded in Bangladesh in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, and it expanded its reach outside of Bangladesh in 2002, when it launched its first program in Afghanistan. BRAC has since served millions of individuals in 11 countries spanning Asia and Africa.

BRAC’s achievement has been widely recognized, with the Geneva-based NGO Advisor ranking it as the world’s number one NGO for five years in a row beginning in 2016. BRAC, the world’s largest non-governmental organization in terms of workers and people directly served, continues to pioneer novel development and social entrepreneurial techniques, empowering communities to prosper.

The BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania is part of this worldwide recognized development organization, which began activities in Tanzania in 2006. BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania focuses on agriculture, youth and women’s empowerment, food security, and livelihoods.

 

 

About the Programme:

The MasterCard Foundation, in collaboration with BRAC International (BI), is launching an initiative aimed at positively impacting 1.2 million adolescent girls and young women, as well as 9.5 million people, in seven East and West African countries: Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda.

This program tackles the critical need to assist adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) living in poverty, a situation exacerbated by the global pandemic. Through this collaboration, scalable economic development initiatives will be introduced to strengthen AGYW agency and voice, allowing them to realize their goals, establish sustainable livelihoods, and engage in advocacy.

The BRAC International is adopting an integrated and holistic methodology to address the life cycles of young women living in poverty, facilitating a safe transition from adolescence to adulthood. This includes providing individuals with the necessary skills, tools, and financial resources to exercise their agency and create rewarding livelihoods.
