JOB ANNOUNCEMEN: Land Housing Rights Project Officer, Media & ICT Intern And Land Housing Rights Project Intern

By supporting genuine community complaints and grievances, STT and its partners have been helping communities articulate their concerns to local and international media, donors and other NGOs and INGOs.
