According to the World Bank, poverty rates in Latin America and the Caribbean have remained stubbornly persistent at around 25% for the last few years, which is why sustainable development experts from this region are increasingly in great demand. Indeed, in 2021, official development assistance (ODA) to the Latin America and Caribbean region reached $12 billion.
If you are an expert in fields such as food security, sustainable farming systems, climate resilience, environmental protection, gender inequality, and social development and have a Latin American or Caribbean background, there are countless opportunities waiting for you from international organizations and agencies such as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Bank, UNICEF, World Food Program, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) and many others.
DevelopmentAid is the world leader in providing information services, and career opportunities for professional experts working in the field of international development. Every day, donors such as USAID, AFD, GiZ, and JICA along with thousands of smaller and medium-sized agencies turn to DevelopmentAid to hire experts from Latin America and the Caribbean for projects, consultancy positions, and partnerships.
