TI - Netherlands is a fully accredited National Chapter of the Transparency International movement. A small, still volunteer-based NGO, TI - Netherlands works on a range of issues relevant in the national context.
 
In 2011-2012, TI - Netherlands along with a number of other members of the TI movement, will participate in a European-wide project to make a complete assessment of the National Integrity Systems of 23 EU Member States and to advocate for sustainable and effective reform across the Union. Largely financed by the European Commission (EC), and coordinated by the Transparency International Secretariat (TI-S), the project aims at ensuring the proper functioning of key national institutions that may have the capacity to promote integrity and prevent corruption and abuse.
 
In the context of this project, TI - Netherlands is looking for a multi-skilled project coordinator to help drive its implementation of the ENIS project in the Netherlands. The successful candidate will need to be a dynamic self-starter that can draw together the different strands of the project, synthesise them, and push for impact and results, while ensuring overall compliance with the donor and Chapter requirements.
