Junior Consultant – Events & Research

About the Organization

IT for Change aims for a society in which digital technologies contribute to human rights, social justice and equity. Most mainstream approaches to digital technologies for development are either techno-utopic or promote a market-fundamentalist approach, often both together. A digital makeover of economies and societies has become a convenient opportunity for wholesale corporatisation of social systems, displacing the cornerstone ethics of democratic participation, commons, social justice and gender equality from development discourse.

• liasing with vendors
• coordinating travel, accommodation and logistics
• support with substantive agenda-setting
• Collaborating with internal teams to ensure seamless execution of relevant tasks
