Mensen met een Missie is an organisation for international cooperation and solidarity. We challenge beliefs and narratives that normalise exclusion, repair relationships between people on opposing sides, and address the patterns and structures that sustain inequality. Together with locally rooted partner organisations across Africa, Asia and Latin America, we work for peace and equality. Through dialogue, reflection and collaboration, we seek to challenge harmful beliefs, reduce mistrust and division, and strengthen relationships across social and religious divides. Our team in The Hague works closely with partners and changemakers to contribute to more peaceful and inclusive societies. Faith in Freedom is a new Mensen met een Missie programme that seeks to strengthen Freedom of Religion and Belief (FoRB) and contribute to more peaceful and inclusive societies. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the programme works in Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda, building on existing relationships and networks of civil society, faith-based and community actors. At the heart of Faith in Freedom is the principle that everyone should be free to hold, practise, change or abstain from a religion or belief without experiencing discrimination or violence. For Mensen met een Missie, FoRB is closely connected to wider questions of dignity, equality, social cohesion and inclusive citizenship. Religion can contribute to exclusion and division, but religious actors and communities can also play an important role in promoting dialogue, solidarity, reconciliation and social change.

Autres informations

The programme combines three mutually reinforcing areas of work: strengthening inclusion and constructive change within religious communities, building trust and cooperation across religions and beliefs, and advocating for more inclusive FoRB-related policies and practices. Particular attention is given to the meaningful participation and leadership of women, youth and religious minorities. Faith in Freedom takes an adaptive approach, with a strong focus on conflict sensitivity, learning, local ownership and evidence-based advocacy. For the Faith in Freedom programme in Uganda we are looking for qualified candidates for the position of Network Coordinator Uganda Starting date: October 1, 2026 In Uganda, 4-6 partner organisations will work together as a country network to implement the Faith in Freedom strategy and workplans. The Network Coordinator facilitates this collaboration and helps partners bring together their complementary strengths. The coordinator supports country-level planning, reporting, learning and advocacy processes and helps maintain strong collaboration between partners and relevant external stakeholders. Based in Uganda, the Network Coordinator serves as an important link between the Uganda partner network and the wider Faith in Freedom programme. The coordinator represents Mensen met een Missie at country level while representing the interests of all partners equally and promoting an inclusive, gender- and faith-sensitive way of working. The coordinator will be contracted by Mensen met een Missie. Tasks and Responsibilities Coordinate and facilitate the Uganda Faith in Freedom partner network and strengthen collaboration, trust and shared ownership among partners. Support implementation of the Uganda strategy across the intrafaith, interfaith and extrafaith pathways, helping partners contextualise approaches to Uganda’s FoRB context.

Promote conflict-sensitive, power-aware and Do No Harm approaches and help partners respond to changing risks and tensions. When requested, provide strategic advice and accompaniment of the individual partners.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
