This can range from humanitarian work to construction of infrastructure and emergency response. Put plainly, it\u2019s looking into issues or problems and deriving solutions for developing nations.\r\n\r\nThere are a number of organisations within International Development; some are charities, some are not-for-profit organisations. Beyond that, there are government departments and even elements of the United Nations such as UNICEF, UNIDO and The World Health Organisation that are involved. As such, it\u2019s not just big charities that are making a difference\u2015there are multiple organisations working to make real-world changes.\r\n\r\nTypes of International Development organisations include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Charities<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Government development departments<\/li>\r\n \t<li>United Nations organisations<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Universities and academic research<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Think tanks<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Consultancies<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"single_image","menu_title":"","image":10779,"image_link":"","image_link_new_tab":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Which jobs are available in International Development?","content":"<strong><span style=\"font-size: 21.0pt; font-family: 'Circular Std Book',sans-serif; color: #002a6f; letter-spacing: -.1pt;\">Which jobs are available in International Development?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n<h3><strong><em>Field-based or programme work<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; line-height: 19.5pt; background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Circular Std Book',sans-serif; color: #404041;\">This is \u2018boots on the ground\u2019 development.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/volunteer-jobs?keywords=International+Development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #2780c3;\">Work in the field is often voluntary<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and performed by local staff, as the era of paid \u2018on the ground\u2019 work is coming to an end.
