Community Action for Popular Participation (CAPP) Vacancy for a Project Officer

Community Action for Popular Participation (CAPP) came to be after several years of ideological and active struggles of students and progressive academics. These progressive individuals had struggled to wage revolution led by the proletariats.

However, the Structural Adjustment Program made nonsense of all the gains of leftist decades of carefully organized ideological engagements.
