Career with BRAC International

BRAC is a development success story, taking anti-poverty solutions born in Bangladesh to 10 other developing countries in Asia and Africa and providing opportunities for the world’s poor.

BRAC was founded in Bangladesh in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, and today, is one of the leaders in developing cost-effective, evidence-based poverty innovations in extremely poor, conflict-prone and post-disaster settings. BRAC started its first programme outside of Bangladesh in Afghanistan in 2002, under the Stichting BRAC International based in the Netherlands, and currently reaching over 19 million people beyond Bangladesh.

With a holistic approach that uses a wide array of interventions including microfinance, education, healthcare, legal services and more, BRAC invests in communities’ own human and material resources, catalyzing lasting change and creating an ecosystem in which the poor have the chance to seize control of their own lives. Of the world’s top development and humanitarian relief organisations, BRAC is one of the few led in the global south. In January 2017, BRAC was ranked as the number one NGO in the world for the second consecutive year by the Geneva-based NGO Advisor, an independent media organization committed to highlighting innovation, impact and governance in the non-profit sector.
