Our story
Dela Atubra
Dela is founder and Managing Director of NGO Recruit.
Although an attorney by training (backed with a career in the private and international development sector), her passion and eagerness to promote strong leadership in the development sector led her to launch NGO Recruit.
Dela’s combination of corporate sector experience coupled with her experience working within civil society and donor-funding organizations gives her a comprehensive understanding of the sector and places her at an advantage in her dealings with stakeholders.
Dela holds an LLB and a Master’s Degree in Law and Political Justice (Birkbeck University of London) and is based in both Cape Town and The Hague.
Your success matters to me...and because I care about YOUR organisation's mission and want you to thrive, I will do all I can to find YOU the best talent there is.
Meaningful relationships
Driven by passion, professionalism and powerful leadership, NGO Recruit strives to form meaningful relationships with stakeholders in the social impact and development space in an effort to enhance the overall performance and success of the sector.
We foster partnerships between the sector's top-talents and international organizations implementing sustainable development programmes in Africa and Europe.
One thing we have in common with our stakeholders (clients and candidates) is passion for the sector.
Promote inclusion, diversity and gender equity
Both Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to a large extent inform NGO Recruit’s ethos and ideology, guiding all company decisions, interactions and practices.
In line with government socio-economic development agenda, our mandate is to promote inclusion, diversity and gender equity in the workplace.
