About SDN

Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN) was established as a non-governmental not-for-profit organisation in 2004 to support those affected by the extractives industry and weak governance. We work with communities and engage with governments, companies, and other key stakeholders to ensure the promotion and protection of human rights—including

the right to a healthy environment. Guided by principles of participation, inclusion and non-discrimination, SDN promotes the perspectives and experiences of those living in the Niger Delta at the centre of all of our work, and encourages transparency and accountability between all actors in the region.

We have a small team in the UK, which supports our main office in Port Harcourt, in Rivers State in the Niger Delta.

People in the Niger Delta have experienced decades of the negative impacts of the oil and gas industry and related issues of poor governance. The region experiences widespread pollution, poor service delivery by government, and high levels of unemployment and everyday insecurity. For example, one fifth of households were estimated to have been affected by conflict from 2010-2017, and a 2019 study on the Niger Delta estimated that infant mortality rates double for children whose mothers lived near an oil spill prior to conception.

We have four main areas of work:

• Protecting the environment
• Promoting good governance
• Fostering sustainable livelihoods
• Supporting peace and security

The Niger Delta is a complex place to work and there are many challenges. But there are also many positive stories to be told and opportunities to be taken to ensure a better future. For example, the region contains Africa’s largest mangrove forest – an important ecosystem, which is extremely biodiverse and an important carbon sink – and there is a wealth of local civil society organisations and politically active groups who are working towards positive change. At SDN, we want to be part of this positive change, and to play a role in changing perspectives about the region.

Our own work shows this potential for positive change. For example, in one of our recent projects where we worked with community groups in Rivers and Bayelsa states to support them to engage with government and other stakeholders on their development priorities, these groups have helped to secure new projects worth £8m since 2018. These projects ranged from school rehabilitation and drainage construction, through to the provision of vocational training schemes for young people.

To find out more, this document contains a summary of SDN’s work. Our website also contains information on our current and past projects, as well as a range of reports, videos and other outputs produced as part of our work.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Human rights as high principles are values of perennial relevance; however, what about their future application, interpretations and their implications? So much more is needed to ensure their relevance tomorrow is as immediately pertinent and even more widely understood than is the case today. What works to campaign against torture may not be as useful to uphold human rights in the context of the climate crisis. Similarly, campaigning against arbitrary killings in a world of new technologies and artificial intelligence will demand different methods than those we have employed against early generation killer-technologies.

Amnesty needs to understand and unpack not only the coming future of human rights but also and most importantly it needs to develop intensive and disruptive analysis of what changes in focus and methods are needed for this future. We must become nimble, adaptable and deft in applying human rights to new and challenging unknowns.

JOB PURPOSE

This fixed-term post will work directly under the direction of the Secretary General to explore human rights futures: What are the threats and challenges over the next two decades which will lead to complex human rights crises? What will be the impact of demographic changes, climate change and pandemics spilling over borders? Is Amnesty prepared for these systemic changes and the political and social challenges they will unleash?

The post is funded by dedicated and time-limited funding from OSF, which ends on 1 May 2022. The postholder can be based in any of the International Secretariat location: Colombo, Dakar, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, London, Nairobi, Tunis.

The job is placed at Grade 5 of the Amnesty pay scale, subject to location. The work pattern would ideally be full time (35 hours per week), but this is negotiable.

ABOUT YOU

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

• Identify research centres and experts focusing on the future, including in terms of human rights or humanitarian crisis.
• Scan and review futurist literature to identify global future mega trends in terms of human rights crises, and their implications for Amnesty International.
• Produce a report detailing Human Rights Futures, distinguishing between global and regional trends.
• Research Amnesty's experiences and expertise to date with forecasting, innovation and adaptation and draft report detailing findings.
• Commission a workshop for IS and section leaders to consider transformative societal change and to explore the implications of such change on strategy, policy and planning approaches within Amnesty International.
• Produce report identifying possible avenues through which Amnesty could develop or strengthen the ethos of innovation and adaptation, such as through establishing a human rights future and innovation lab.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Knowledge of Futurist literature, research centres and experts.
• Knowledge of human rights, with a focus on or demonstrated interest in human rights futures as they relate to economy, crises and conflicts, , etc.
• Minimum 5 years' experience in conducting complex desk research and interviews/negotiations with key experts and human rights defenders, literature reviews, and project management.
