Comunità Volontari per il Mondo (CVM) Tanzania Jobs 2025Position: Psychologist (2 Posts)
Job Type: Full-time
1. Background
Community Volunteers for the World – CVM Tanzania is a non-governmental organization registered in Tanzania since 2006 and part of the Italian NGO Comunità Volontari per il Mondo (CVM), founded in 1978. CVM works closely with its Irish sister organization, APA – A Partnership with Africa, to support development initiatives through advocacy, resource mobilization, and international cooperation. Active in Tanzania since 2002, CVM initially focused on HIV/AIDS prevention and later expanded its work to address women’s rights, gender equality, and the empowerment of marginalized groups. Its programs primarily support poor women, widows, bar and domestic workers, and vulnerable children affected by abuse and child labour.
The African Children Project aims to support the protection, psychosocial recovery, and school reintegration of vulnerable children aged 7–18, with particular focus on girls in selected regions of Tanzania. Many of these girls have experienced psychological distress, trauma, exploitation, neglect, and prolonged absence from formal education, which significantly affects their well-being and learning capacity. Psychosocial support is therefore a key component of the project to ensure successful and sustainable reintegration into school and community life. Within this framework, the project seeks to recruit two qualified psychologists to provide specialized psychosocial support services to beneficiary girls and contribute to the overall child protection strategy.
