About this role
Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) Communications Officer (temporary replacement, October 2026 to June 2027) About GPPAC The Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) is the world's largest member-led network of local peacebuilding organisations, bringing together more than 350 civil society organisations across 14 regional networks working to prevent violent conflict and sustain peace.
