Senior Program Associate Jobs in River Edge, NJ (NOW HIRING)

Description
Description
New York University's Center on International Cooperation (CIC) has built a reputation over two decades for its work on the links between politics,
security, and sustainable development. CIC co-founded and hosts the Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies. The Pathfinders is a group
of UN member states, international organizations, global partnerships, civil society, and private sector actors working to accelerate the delivery of the
SDG targets for peace, justice and inclusion (SDG16+).
The Pathfinders for Justice Program was created to implement the recommendations set out by the Task Force on Justice in the Justice for All report.
The program implements the agenda for action at the international level, promotes measurable improvements in justice in countries from all regions and
income groups, and brings justice partners together behind a new movement for closing the justice gap. Central priorities are to strengthen political and
financial support for people-centered justice and build networks for action at the national, regional, and global level. Our work aims to address systemic
injustices and long-standing inequalities, as well as individual justice problems disproportionately faced by communities that are marginalized.
