Employment opportunities
The Swiss Expert Pool for Civilian Peacebuilding (SEP) selects vacancies in international organisations based on Switzerland's thematic and geographic priorities and then proposes specialists with the corresponding profile to the organisation.
The FDFA sponsors the deployment and issues the successful applicant with a contract under the Ordinance on Personnel for Peace Support, the Promotion of Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid (POPHAO). The expert becomes a member of the SEP.
