Your work with AGIAMONDO and EcoPeace Middle East

Responsible and challenging

Cooperation with AGIAMONDO and EcoPeace Middle East

AGIAMONDO e. V. is the personnel service organization of German Catholics for international development cooperation. Through the Civil Peace Service (CPS), we offer professionals the opportunity to engage in meaningful work alongside local development actors. The Civil Peace Service (CPS) is a personnel program dedicated to violence prevention and peacebuilding in regions affected by crisis and conflict. It works towards a world in which conflicts are resolved without violence. Together with church-based and civil society partner organizations in Jordan, AGIAMONDO aims to contribute to civilian conflict transformation and the country's sustainable and equitable development through peacebuilding initiatives.

Jordan is a country characterized by cultural and religious diversity. In recent years, approximately 1.36 million refugees from conflict regions such as Syria and Iraq, as well as migrants from East Africa, have arrived in the country. Given this diversity and a young population, with 63% under the age of 30, promoting tolerance and social cohesion is of particular importance.

EcoPeace Middle East is one of the most internationally recognized organizations in the field of environmental peacebuilding. Operating as a regional organization with offices in Jordan, Palestine, and Israel, it brings people together to develop shared responses to environmental challenges, thereby fostering peace and cooperation throughout the region. In recognition of its work, the organization was nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.

Through the ShaRED Sea Project, you will support young people in becoming actively engaged in environmental protection, climate adaptation, and civic participation. Through educational activities and dialogue formats, you will contribute to sustainable development and peacebuilding in the Gulf of Aqaba region.

Your place of work will be Aqaba, located on the Red Sea in southern Jordan. This coastal city offers good infrastructure and a wide range of leisure opportunities. Healthcare services are of a high standard, and the current security situation is stable. The family-friendly location also provides access to international schooling options.
