The probably employers in the field can be Government Development Agencies / Departments / State Resource Centers, Voluntary Organizations, Social Development Units of Corporate Sector, National / International donor Agencies etc and you can look for Self - Employment ( running your own voluntary organization or doing research and project formulation as a freelancer ) as well.
