Third Sector Partners, a leading CxO and board search firm in the Not for Profit sector, has been retained by Mercy Corps to hire its Executive Director, India.

Mercy Corps is seeking a bold, action-oriented, and creative leader with a passion for social entrepreneurship to be its Executive Director (ED) for Mercy Corps India (MCI).  MCI is a member of the global Mercy Corps family, but is registered as an independent Section 25 company with a separate Board of Directors.  The ED must therefore be a shrewd navigator, able to steer our country presence along a truly “local to global” axis as an independent entity, while at the same time maintaining close links to the ethos and administrative structures of the parent company, Mercy Corps.

Organizer: National Alliance of People’s Movements

Venue: Jantar Mantar, New Delhi

Description:

National Alliance of People’s Movements (NAPM) invites to resist forced displacement and land acquisitions across the country and demand for a comprehensive legislation on development planning. From 2000 onwards people's movements have successfully resisted land grab in Kalinganagar, Niyamgiri, Singur, Nandigram, Sompeta, Chandrapur, Raigadh, Karla, Narmada Valley, Jagatsinghpur, Mumbai and thousands of other places. Farmers, peasants, landless labourers and everyone together have fought to protect their land rights. In the same vein communities dwelling in forests have fought to claim their rights over the land they have been residing for generations and eking their livelihood from. Many lives have been lost in this process too.
