areas of work

Progressio's work focuses on three themes. As a development worker in one of the countries where we work, you may be working in a range of areas:

• advocacy
• citizen participation
• communications and new media 
• community development and training
• cooperative/small business development
• disability and development
• ecology and environmentalism 
• environment
• gender and women's rights
• health education
• HIV and AIDS
• human rights
• information technology
• institutional strengthening
• legal rights 
• local development
• marketing
• natural resource management
• promoting leadership
• public health
• social research
• sustainable agriculture
• vocational training
• youth

Each placement must show that it will challenge the causes of poverty, promote self reliance and long term development, take account of gender roles and allow for the sharing of skills.
