7月31日締切:ICRC駐日代表部勤務・企画調整官(Program Officer for Cooperation)
The ICRC opened an office in Tokyo in February 2009. Because of Japan’s status and influence on the international stage, its efforts to promote peacebuilding and key contributions to international aid activities, the ICRC looks to Japan as a strategic partner in championing support for principled humanitarian action. The ICRC delegation in Japan engages with government ministries, academic institutions, and other key influential actors to cultivate support for IHL and address global humanitarian concerns. It works with the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) in better positioning the Movement, joint operations and in mobilizing public support for the Red Cross, and in increasing the number of Japanese delegates joining the ICRC. In addition to the JRCS, the ICRC has been cultivating relationships with other important interlocutors in Japan, such as academia and the private sector. By maintaining close links with the JRCS, academic circles and the private sector and managing projects with them, the Program Officer for Cooperation is a key member and contributor to the delegation’s objectives.
