People & Operations Manager-India
VSO is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that works through volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. Our high-impact approach brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, promote international understanding and action to change lives and make the world a fairer place.
It is an exciting time to join VSO India. VSO India plays a critical role in the development scenario as it works for the poorest and most marginalised sections of society. VSO’s work centres around three aspects, Programming, Volunteering and Advocacy. The unique space that VSO India holds is about mobilising skilled human resource as an intrinsic input into development projects. This serves to strengthen the quality of the programme delivery by addressing capacity gaps of the partner and the programme.
The next decade of VSO in India will be one of focus on bringing development innovations to scale; working as the VSO India Trust; mobilising youth as innovators of entrepreneurial solutions to development problems; and forming corporate and public-private partnerships that not only mentor youth but provide frameworks for bringing those innovations to scale – either through business models or transition into public services. At the heart of that will be a focus on girls access to education and women’s economic empowerment, specifically benefiting women and girls with disability or women from scheduled groups, particularly in rural India.
