About BRAC
BRAC was founded in Bangladesh in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, and today is a global leader in developing cost-effective, evidence-based poverty innovations in extremely poor, conflict-prone and post-disaster settings. These include programmes in education, healthcare, microfinance, girls’ empowerment, agriculture, human and legal rights, social enterprises, a bank, a university, and the world’s largest mobile money platform. BRAC employs more than 100,000 people in 11 countries, with a total global expenditure of about $1.2 billion.
BRAC is also unique among the world’s major non-profits in that its overall budget is majority self-financed. In Bangladesh, where BRAC was founded and is the location of its global headquarters BRAC self-funds 80% of its annual budget from its own socially-responsible businesses. BRAC has been ranked as the number one NGO in the world for five consecutive years by the Geneva-based NGO Advisor, an independent media organisation committed to highlighting innovation, impact and governance in the non-profit sector. BRAC’s programmes are implemented by BRAC country offices in 10 countries and BRAC also supports partners, including governments and civil society organisations in 5 other countries through BRAC’s Ultra Poor Graduation Initiative.
About BRAC Europe
BRAC Europe’s office in London was founded in 2006 and is one of the four members of the BRAC Global Group alongside BRAC in Bangladesh (our global HQ), BRAC International and BRAC USA.
The European office plays a pivotal role in forging strategic partnerships in support of BRAC’s programmes. We build impactful, long-term relationships with partners whether they be governments, private sector organisations, or major private donors. We also play a leading role in engaging with policymakers in Europe to tackle extreme poverty.
To support BRAC’s global mission and growth ambitions we are embarking on a new strategy to secure long-term strategic partnerships in key European markets, including the UK. We are building a team of exceptional fundraising leaders with the vision, passion and expertise to lead the organisation into our next phase of development.
