Indonesia: Country Engagement Developer (CED) – Open Contracting


Hivos is an international organization that seeks new solutions to persistent global problems. With smart projects in the right places, we promote the empowerment and independence of citizens so that they can oppose discrimination, inequality, abuse of power, climate change and depletion of the earth.
