Head of people and culture

ABOUT JUSTDIGGIT

Justdiggit (www.justdiggit.org) is a fast-growing NGO working on landscape
restoration in Africa. We are approaching 50 employees in 8 different countries
(3 in Europe, 5 in Africa) and have seen strong growth in the past 2 years. As
we are scaling further, we are looking to further professionalize our Human
Resource management and ensure our strong Justdiggit culture and DNA is
firmly rooted within the organization and its people. Now and in the future.

We have a hugely ambitious goal: we want to enable 350 million subsistence farmers in
Sub-Saharan Africa to regreen their own land before 2030!
If we bring back nature on a large enough scale, we can positively impact climate change.
Together with farmers, pastoralists, and local partners, we cool down the planet by
regreening dry and degraded land in Sub-Saharan Africa. We combine traditional and
scalable nature-based solutions with data, communication and (mobile) technology. Our
goal is not just to regreen Africa; it’s to grow an interconnected grassroots regreening
movement that inspires people all over the world to DIG IN for our planet.
We currently have two main offices, in Amsterdam and Nairobi, and have staff in 8
countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Togo, Madagascar, the Netherlands,
United Kingdom and Germany. Furthermore, we expect to add new staff in Senegal soon.
