Welcome to Our Family
Join us in making a difference in the lives of those who need it the most.
A just and peaceful society where the dignity of the human person is promoted in an eco-friendly environment.
We are a faith-based, non-profit organization committed to promoting holistic development for humanity through capacity building, community mobilization, peace building, youth and women development, human rights, and environmental care.
Observatoire Pharos, JDPC-Jos and CAFOD are carrying out a study in the States of Plateau and Kaduna, in Nigeria.
Observatoire Pharos is looking for a researcher in anthropology, social sciences, ethnology, contemporary history, political science or another relevant discipline, specialising in cultural, religious and identity issues
Observatoire Pharos: A French NGO founded in 2011, Observatoire Pharos envisions a world in which cultural and religious diversity is an asset rather than a factor of violence, exclusion or identity-based isolation. It has three missions:
JDPC-Jos: Social Justice and Human Development for Peace Initiative (JDPC) of the Catholic Archdiocese of Jos operates as the social arm of the Catholic Church, a Faith-Based Organisation (FBO) with the mandate to take care of the social needs of the Church through communities. With acceptable international standard and global best practices, JDPC engages in the following thematic areas Animation and Research, Archdiocesan Women Empowerment Programme (AWEP), Emergency Preparedness and Response Training Department (EPRT), Good Governance and Human Rights, Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation, and Rural and Urban Development.
We serve all humanity irrespective of religious, ethnic or racial affiliation to uphold the dignity of the human person.
JDPC is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a non-profit organization with the name; Social Justice and Human Development for Peace Initiative with a five-man Board of Trustees.
The organization is guided by its strategic plan in all its interventions to address specific critical issues of concern through specifically designed activities within six different departments:
CAFOD: (Catholic Agency For Overseas Development) is an international development charity that works with communities in Nigeria to fight poverty and inequality, build peace, and provide practical help in emergencies. We focus on areas where women, girls, and vulnerable groups are marginalized, youth are restless, environmental degradation occurs, and communities struggle to cope with disasters. CAFOD works through local partners and their global Church network.
The study will be based on the Barometer of Cultural and Religious Pluralism.
The Cultural and Religious Pluralism Barometer is a tool developed by the Pharos Observatory to assess and report on the level of identity-related tensions within a society. It provides an indication of a society's ability to preserve the common good. The Barometer uses an innovative, replicable methodology to analyse cultural and religious dynamics, taking into account facts, perceptions and opinions. It identifies the forces of fragmentation as well as the forces of cohesion, and alerts of the risks of conflict. This evidence-based assessment provides a diagnosis and recommendations. These are addressed to decision-makers and civil society players, and lead to advocacy actions and support for the implementation of appropriate solutions to bring peace to societies.
Working with the project coordinator and the Pharos Observatory's associate expert, the researcher will be tasked with documentary research, surveys and analysis report, in line with the methodology of the Pluralism Barometer.
They will be responsible for the following tasks:
Following attacks in Bokkos and Bassa LGAs, we provided aid to 1,850 households (11,100 people) through the Start Network, aligning with humanitarian principles.
