NGO JOBS!!!!
Regional NGO Anchor with ADB_Deadline: Mar 25, 10
The position serves as the focal point in the Greater Mekong Subregion
(GMS) for sub-regional civil
society relations. The Regional NGO Anchor is responsible to undertake

provision of information, tools and training.
The consultant Regional NGO Anchor will be based for 10 months in

direct consultation and participation (C&P)
support and coordination. The Regional NGO Anchor will support the
