The Centre helps develop and professionalise the sector for the benefits of its partners: National and local authorities, donors, the United Nations, other international and regional organisations, non-governmental organisations, commercial companies and academia. It does so by combining three distinct lines of service: field support focused on capacity development and advice, multilateral work focused on norms and standards, and research and development focused on cutting-edge solutions. These efforts are facilitated from the GICHD's location within the Maison de la Paix in Geneva.\r\n\r\nGICHD website\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gichd.org\/\">www.gichd.org<\/a><\/u>\r\n\r\nFollow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/gichd\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theGICHD\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gichd\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thegichd\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/GICHD1\">Youtube<\/a>\r\n\r\nFor further information please contact us by e-mail at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:hr@gichd.org\">hr@gichd.org<\/a>&gt;","_job_category":{"99":"Management \/ Direction"},"organization-type":"NGO \/ ONG","fields-of-action":"","_job_type":{"71":"Permanent contract \/ CDI"},"_job_apply_type":"external","_job_apply_email":"","_job_apply_url":"https:\/\/neospheres.csod.com\/ux\/ats\/careersite\/30\/home\/requisition\/6418?c=neospheres&source=cagi","activity-rate":"100%","_job_salary_type":"monthly","_job_salary":"","_job_experience":"10+ years","_job_application_deadline_date":"2023-05-14","_job_location":{"90":"Gen\u00e8ve"},"_job_logo":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/gichd-150x150.jpg","_job_employer_name":"Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD)","_job_employer_url":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/employer\/geneva-international-centre-for-humanitarian-demining-gichd\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing\/58818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/204"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58818"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing\/58818\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58819,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing\/58818\/revisions\/58819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_type?post=58818"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_category?post=58818"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_location?post=58818"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.cagi.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_tag?post=58818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
