Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Officer (28-32h)

Every year over 200,000 new cases of leprosy are recorded worldwide. NLR – until No Leprosy Remains, in the Netherlands better known as Leprastichting, is an international NGO that aims for a world without leprosy and its consequences. In our strategy we focus on Zero Transmission, Zero Disability and Zero Exclusion. NLR forms an Alliance with local NGO’s in Brazil, Indonesia, India, Nepal and Mozambique that operate under the same brand and with the same vision and mission. The International Office is based in Amsterdam.

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” – Gloria Steinem

NLR believes that collaboration is crucial. That is why we work closely together with other organizations and international networks such as ILEP, Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy and the WHO. NLR is a global forerunner in conducting and promoting leprosy research and driving evidence-based innovation.
