JIPS Team - JIPS - Joint IDP Profiling Service

JIPS Team

Guided by the executive committee and advisory group, JIPS’ passionate and skilled team makes its global work possible. The organisation has two core units with dedicated management positions – field support & capacity building, and information management & innovation – and further staff working in coordination & management, communications & advocacy and grants & budget management.

JIPS’ team is guided by three core values:

  • Valuing individuals, whether colleagues, consultants or collaborators in the field
  • Fostering team spirit to support each other’s projects and share information to improve the way we work
  • Personal communication, because relationships thrive when they are built face-to-face
