ACT Alliance for Conflict Transformation, Inc. PO Box 3203 . Fairfax, VA 22038 . USA . www.conflicttransformation.org/index.asp Resource for Careers and Opportunities in Human Rights, Peace and Conflict Resolution, Development and Civil Society Development For the past three years the Alliance for Conflict Transformation has developed and maintained some of the premier resources for professionals seeking employment and fellowship opportunities in the field of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, international studies, development and human rights. ACT currently maintains Announcement Forums for individuals seeking jobs and scholarships, and for organizations interested in recruiting qualified candidates. Over 100 organizations and universities throughout the world currently use the lists to recruit advanced professional and academic candidates in the fields of conflict resolution, peace studies, development, human rights, women's rights, civil society development, micro finance and similar fields. To date, hundreds of individuals have obtained jobs and scholarships through the service. As the Announcement Forums have grown, membership has grown to several thousand people internationally - from advanced professionals and academics to people seeking entry-level positions. After several years of hosting the lists through yahoo groups, ACT has begun hosting the forums directly in order to provide improved service to subscribers. Along with the creation of a customized site, ACT is also requiring a small contribution to help offset the management costs of these large lists. Residents of designated international regions may qualify for a free subscription upon approval from the Forum Administrator. Posting to the list remains free of charge. LIST OF FORUMS: There are three main forums for job, scholarships and events in peace and conflict resolution, human rights and development. The forums are subdivided into regions covering all geographic areas of the world (for example Conflictjobs-AFRICA, Conflictjobs-EUROPE). A complete list of Forums and the geographic focus is provided during the registration process. § ConflictJobs - For posting of job opportunities in the fields of peace and conflict resolution, civil society development, human rights and international education. § ConflictScholarships - Posting of scholarship, funding, training and publication announcements in the fields of peace and conflict resolution, civil society development, human rights and international education. § DCEvents - Posting of talks, conferences, and cultural events in the Washington, DC area only related to peace and conflict resolution, civil society development, human rights and international education.
