Consultant for Developing a Digital Democracy Module

About the job

NIMD works to promote peaceful, just, and inclusive democracy worldwide. To that end, we work with the entire political sector in a country, from aspiring politicians to political leaders, and from the national to the local level. Together with our network, we promote dialogue, we strengthen the capacities of political actors, and we train young and established leaders in our Democracy Schools. Currently, NIMD runs programmes in around twenty countries in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the MENA region.

NIMD is seeking a skilled consultant to co-develop a Digital Democracy module under the Digitalise Youth project, focused on supporting political actors in the Sahel and neighbouring regions.

Start: Early August 2025
