Nonviolent Peaceforce Reviews

The organisation has turned into a nepotistic dictatorship. Those who declare unconditional loyalty to the Executive Director, regardless of whether they are competent and even regardless of whether they assaulted other employees (really!), are promoted. Those who are perceived to criticise the Executive Director- even in the slightest- are bullied and fired, regardless of their competence or dedication to the work.

Very cavalier such that sexual abuse is tolerated, particularly when done by Northern people with barely a sense of Southern solidarity . The inability of some expatriate staff to manage their sexual needs is glossed over, that it disrupts confidence and team-building among staff. There are often doubts rather than a positive attitude over local capacity. There is often a backlash for criticism, however positively communicated so people tend to keep quiet as they have jobs to secure.
