Majority of The so called local NGOs have lots of international grants and can very well pay. Getting a placement in an international org is OK. But most of the time, you have to start from somewhere.
Have you heard of Atlas Corp? I think it's OK you apply for that. Search online for the application page.
If you are 28 or less, visit web.worldbank.org

There are several opportunities.
