Project Coordinator

An MSF project coordinator plans and manages our projects ensuring that all the departments work together effectively, to provide high quality care, whatever the needs. 

Our project coordinators are always based in the project and work together with the country coordination team to manage the project operations, team and security. The project coordinator is also responsible for the safety and security of the team. It’s an exciting and diverse role, potentially managing teams of hundreds of staff, and they are responsible for some or all of the following tasks.

• Ensuring that MSF's charter, policies and image are respected
