[ref. w4083721] Call for tenders AGIAMONDO Safety and Security

AGIAMONDO

At the same time, it is still due mainly to illnesses and accidents that personnel of development cooperation organizations suffer harm.

As a church organization, AGIAMONDO focuses its work on serving people. AGIAMONDO aims to offer professional and high-quality services to institutional customers and to the peace and development workers.

In order to live up to this claim and our responsibility towards our staff and peace/development workers, AGIAMONDO has developed a security management policy for the seconded personnel and staff abroad.
