Full job description
The placement is expected to start in November 2026 and supports administrative systems, grant and financial documentation, programme coordination, project data, workshops, stakeholder engagement and community outreach.

Verification notes
Verified from CAIDP-RPCDI's current role-specific listing posted by corporate member Cuso International and cross-checked against Cuso's official current volunteer eligibility, application process and support-package pages. Current distributed employer listings show conflicting closing dates (including 25 September, 27 October and 1 November 2026), so deadline/deadline_date are intentionally left null until the exact Cuso placement canonical exposes one unambiguous date.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
