• 3 week role

ABV is unique among international development organisations in that its focus has always been on strengthening the private sector, with a vision of alleviating poverty through inclusive economic growth. With long-term experience implementing capacity building programs using different models, ABV collaborates with its partners to create effective development projects which are customised, needs-based, and community driven.

While a proportion of ABV’s activities are funded through the Australian Government’s Australian Volunteers for International Development program, increasingly ABV partners with corporates, institutions and other donors. A major reason for this is that ABV’s focus on inclusive economic growth and private sector development means ABV is able to design development projects which can deliver shared value for donors and communities.
