Overseas assignments
Every year the Commonwealth Secretariat sends more than 350 professionals from the private and public sectors to areas where expert skills are needed
These 'experts' are often sent to countries challenged by human resources and other constraints and postings can include long term assignments up to a few years or short term for just a few weeks or months.
These jobs are funded by the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-Operation (CFTC) which is one of the key programs administered by the Secretariat. Since 1971, the fund has been instrumental in providing technical assistance to member countries.
Work through the CFTC can include jobs related to trade capacity-building, public-sector reform and governance; economic and financial management; health and education as well as other areas related to a country's growth and development.
