You may want to narrow your selection down to countries where you will be able to speak the language.  I know of no other barrier higher than the language barrier.

Hi

My name is Nompu Ntsele; I am 28 year old South African. I've lived in South Africa all my life; studied and currently working in SA and now looking for a new world to explore. I’ve been thinking about joining the expat world for some time now and I think 2013 is the year to take the leap of faith.  That said  I'd like to know what am up against?

Let me share my background:

I have 6 years work experience with various institutions including; the South African Government, Diplomatic corps( United States Mission to South Africa- as the local  head of  government and politics) , NGO( Aspen Institute)  and  various Think Tanks( Institute for Security Studies & PAX Africa ) .
I graduated with a Bachelor of Social Science Degree in 2007and went on to read for a Post- Graduate Diploma in African Diplomacy and Peacekeeping.  I recently signed up for a Post- Graduate Diploma in Organizational Development with the University of South Africa. I catch on to languages very well and currently understand Shona and Swahili, I recently enrolled to improve my French.

I've travelled to the US and Southern Africa and understand the worlds are not the same and I consider myself very adaptable
What are my chances in NGO’s somewhere on the continent?
