Regional Grant Manager, Tunisia / Morocco (f/m/x) At Doctors of the World – Belgium

WHO ARE WE ?

Médecins du Monde is an international medical development NGO that is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups, in Belgium and the rest of the world. We want universal health coverage where everyone has access to care, without obstacles.

In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all people who have no or no longer access to health care. In particular, they are structured into five axes: people on the margins of society, children in vulnerable situations, women, migrants or displaced people and victims of crises or conflicts.

To carry out our mission, we base ourselves on three pillars:

• Treat : provide real access to care for populations.
• Change : more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
• Testify : we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the authorities (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities.

Our projects follow a series of values ​​common to our entire organization: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
