WORK WITH US
Rooted in Geneva. Connected worldwide.
IRHA is a Geneva-based NGO founded in 2002. Our secretariat works from the Geneva Environment House II, with a Committee of volunteer experts from several countries. IRHA is also an alliance: eleven member organisations across Africa, Asia and the Americas, and a wider network of partners in research, cooperation and international policy. Our field projects are implemented by trusted local partners in each country, from Nepal and Sri Lanka to Senegal and Cambodia.
Because our team is small, we rarely recruit permanent staff. Most of the time, we work with consultants and specialists on clearly defined assignments, selected through terms of reference (ToR) and calls for proposals.
How we work with you
Consultancies and calls for proposals. For each assignment, we publish terms of reference on this page, on our LinkedIn page and/or on specialised expert platforms.
Internships. We occasionally host interns in programme support, communication and advocacy, and technical fields.
Volunteering. Our Committee and some of our activities rely on volunteers. Find out how to help on our Get Involved page.
Partnerships. Organisations can partner with IRHA or join the Alliance.
What matters to us
We listen first. We act with, not for.
No one harvests alone. Rain belongs to all.
We earn trust drop by drop, through action.
Current calls
Boîte à Pluie – Design and structuring of a rainwater educational kit
Consultancy · Position filled. Thank you to everyone who applied.
Boîte à Pluie – Writing and production of the pedagogical content
Consultancy · Open until 30 November 2026.
The Boîte à Pluie is a complete educational kit on rainwater for children and young people in Greater Geneva, designed so that teachers, youth workers and cultural professionals can use it on their own. We are looking for a consultant to write and produce its pedagogical content.
The content must:
- be aligned with the Plan d’études romand (PER);
- meet the expectations of the Département de l’instruction publique, de la formation et de la jeunesse (DIP) and of éducation21;
- reach a level of quality that the universities of teacher education (HEP) in French-speaking Switzerland can recognise and refer to.
This assignment is ideal for a teacher or a PER specialist with experience of the Swiss school system. Working languages: French and English. Deliverables in French.
Looking ahead: at a later stage, the Boîte à Pluie may grow into a worldwide kit for the Blue Schools in our field projects.
