About SIPRI
Established in 1966, SIPRI is consistently ranked as one of the world's top think tanks.

The project
The lack of peace, security and development in Mali is a major obstacle to economic, social and human development. A genuine and sustainable peace requires the involvement of local populations and, by extension, the full participation of civil society.

• organize travel and project related logistics and admin;
• assist with the organization of workshops and other meetings in Mali and in Sweden;
• interpret and translate unofficial documents in French and English;
• assist in the preparation of fact sheets, background papers and articles on issues of relevance to the project; and
• contribute to ad hoc project activities as they emerge.
The Project/Research Assistant's duties are primarily operational.
