Natural Justice recruits 01 Programme Manager

Natural Justice recruits 01 Programme Manager, Nigeria

Natural Justice is a non-profit organisation rooted in the struggle of communities in Africa. As a team of pioneering lawyers and legal experts, we specialise in human rights and environmental law in the pursuit of social and environmental justice.

Natural Justice (NJ) strives to strengthen the collective rights of people and protect the sacred relationships that indigenous peoples and local communities have with nature. Our work builds on the values, knowledge, and self-determination of the communities with whom we stand. Through legal empowerment, research, policy influence and litigation, and through coalitions and campaigns, we help communities to know, use and shape the law. Natural Justice’s work is based on three main pillars: asserting and securing rights to land, resources and knowledge; defending rights against environmental and social impacts; and standing in solidarity with communities. NJ is present in a number of African countries with three regional offices in Cape Town, Nairobi and Dakar.
