0
Organization: Action Contre la Faim France
Country: Yemen
Closing date: 11 Aug 2017

Country: YEMEN – Hodeida

Length of contract: ­6 months, starting as soon as possible

Context of the mission: ACF has been present in Yemen since 2012 and is responding to the current crisis using a multisector emergency approach. Since the beginning of the crisis in 2015, ACF has paid special attention to providing aid for displaced populations. Indeed, Yemen is currently counting 1.9 million of internally displaced people and 1 million of returnees (IOM – March 2017). Two years after the beginning of the war, Yemen is one of the three L3 emergencies in the world, with 462.000 children suffering of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and 7.3 million people who urgently need food assistance. In response to this crisis, ACF, known for its technical expertise is implementing activities in Nutrition & Health, WASH and FSL. In Yemen, ACF is operationally working in 2 bases: Hodeida (to target the northern governorates) and Aden (to target the southern ones), with its coordination team located in Sana’a. In total, the Yemen mission counts 215 national staff and 17 international staff.
Joining ACF in Yemen ensures you to work among a dynamic and dedicated team, in one of the most challenging humanitarian context at the moment.

According to OCHA, Yemen is in the grip of a cholera outbreak of an unprecedented scale. As of 02 July 2017, 262,650 suspected cholera cases and 1,587 deaths have been reported in all governorates except Socotra Island. The four most

affected governorates are Amanat Al Asimah, Al Hudaydah, Hajjah and Amran. Children under the age of 18 years are most affected. The magnitude of the outbreak is beyond the capacity, presence and reach of humanitarian organizations who had to reprogramme meagre resources available to tackle widespread food insecurity for the cholera response. Displacement and high levels of food insecurity compound the cholera crisis.

The position:

Under the supervision of the Field Coordinator, you’ll have to implement integrated emergency response programming in response to cholera outbreak in Hodeidah Governorate.

More precisely, you will be in charge to:

  • Coordinate and oversee the implementation of the WASH cholera response

  • Set up, implement the response with local stakeholders

  • Contribute the quality of monitoring, evaluation, accountability, learning ,impact measurement process an capitalization

  • Supervise and manage the team

Living conditions in Hodeidah: The climate in Hodeidah is a hot humid climate. Due to its position on the Red Sea temperatures may reach as far as 45° during “summer”, while precipitations are scarce, with its hottest month being August (average temperatures: min 28.3°, max 37°). In Hodeidah, the expatriates live in a shared guest house and office (located in the same building), with electricity and internet. The amount of perdiem & living allowances is enough to live well in Hodeidah, and the security restrictions don’t give much opportunity to spend it there. Indeed, despite the current stable situation, security remains very volatile; however, with due care and restrictions, expatriates are allowed to frequent a couple of restaurant and one supermarket. Visits to other INGO’s are also allowed; at the moment ACF, WHO and ICRC are the only international Organizations holding a permanent international presence in Hodeidah, hence social interaction happens in a small group; however, quite a few INGOs are planning to establish permanent international presence soon (PU‑AMI, DRC, OCHA among the others). The curfew in Hodeidah is established at 6:30PM for the entire city, exceptions can be made to extend it to 9:00PM upon approval by Field Coordinator. To balance with those movements/leisure restrictions, expatriates have a threading mill, an exercise machine and a ping-pong table at their disposition in the guesthouse.

The applicant:

You hold a Degree in WASH or health related studies. You have significant experiences (3-5 years) in implementation of WASH program in an emergency context and you have already managed a cholera outbreak project.
You demonstrate capacity to work independently, taking initiative, while also collaborating effectively with the wider team.
Capacity to cope with limited social aspects of living because of security situation.
You speak and write English fluently, Arabic speaking skills are an asset.

Status:

Salaried - Gross monthly salary ranging from €1600 to €1975 Specific Allowance (12% Gross Salary) is granted for this position
Food and hygiene expenses, per diem, transportation costs, collective accommodation and medical insurance
25 days of annual paid leaves and 20 days of rest and recuperation (R&R) per year

Position context and key challenges

ACTED has been present in South Sudan since 2007, and is currently operating in Western Bahr-el-Ghazal, Warrap, Jonglei, Upper Nile, Lakes, and Central Equatoria states. ACTED focuses on emergency and relief works around water, sanitation and hygiene promotion; basic infrastructure; food security and livelihoods; and integrated camp management. All of these interventions continue to provide basic and life-saving assistance to vulnerable populations, specifically IDPs, refugees and host communities.

Since the aftermath of the South Sudanese conflict that erupted in December 2013, ACTED has been contributing to the delivery of humanitarian services to 1.7 million displaced persons, 270,767 refugees, and 5.1 million people in need. ACTED continues to providing camp management services in 2 Protection of Civilian (POC) Sites, 1 informal settlement and 2 refugee camps, while contributing to Camp Coordination as co-lead of the Camp Coordination and Camp Management cluster. Acknowledging the importance of engaging in early recovery to transition towards sustainable solutions, ACTED supports communities in improving their livelihoods through the promotion of income generating activities, community saving groups, and Agro Pastoralist Field schools in Greater Bahr al Ghazal, Greater Upper Nile and Lakes.

Improving effective delivery of services in displacement sites

As camp manager, ACTED coordinates the delivery of services to internally displaced people and refugees in Maban, Awerial, Bor and Juba Counties benefiting a total of over 140,000 refugees and 110,000 internally displaced persons. Within the scope of camp management interventions, ACTED’s team in South Sudan undertake a multi-sectoral approach to establish and empower internal governance structures, ensure access to water and hygienic facilities, facilitate peace between host and displaced communities, and increase the protection of people with special needs. A high emphasis was put in establishing accountability and feedback system at the various displacement sites to improve the delivery of services.

Ensuring access to safe water and a sanitary and hygienic living environment

In 2015, ACTED prioritized the provision of water and sanitation services to people at risk of disease outbreak as well as displaced populations with limited access to water and sanitation facilities. ACTED has been expanding the provision of water and sanitation services to the refugee population of Doro, Kaya and Gendrassa camp and improved sanitation practices in rural areas such as Akobo county.

Improving food security and ensuring access to livelihoods

ACTED’s interventions focud on first addressing the dire food security needs of displaced populations through emergency food distributions within internally displaced and refugee camps, while also working to improve the resilience of vulnerable people across the country through seed and tool distributions and the offer of food for the construction of community assets. Through this approach, ACTED aims to both address food insecurity in displaced populations while building population resilience in the transition towards early recovery, managing to reach over 150,000 beneficiaries.

Transitioning into early recovery

As the country slowly recovers from the havoc wrought from decades of conflict, ACTED’s programming increasingly focus on building resilience and improving living conditions of the country’s poor and displaced populations. Moving forward, ACTED’s camp team is looking at devising and executing comprehensive plans for the return or integration of displaced populations. Secondly, ACTED aims to increase the living standards and ensure the livelihoods of the South Sudanese population, via increasing access to income generating activities and sustainable incomes, tackling the underlying drivers of food insecurity and poverty.

Iraq: HR Coordinator North East Syria

Organization: International Rescue Committee
Country: Iraq
Closing date: 25 Oct 2017

CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND

The Syria crisis is often described as the worst humanitarian catastrophe since the end of the Cold War. Inside Syria, 7.6 million people are internally displaced and 12.2 million are in need of humanitarian assistance, with 4.8 million in hard-to-reach areas. There are 4 million Syrian refugees in neighboring countries. This is no short-term humanitarian episode. The devastating human consequences to huge numbers of people will endure for decades. The destruction of relationships, communities, livelihoods, homes and infrastructure will take years to repair.

IRC is offering a robust humanitarian response to the Syria crisis. With an annual budget in excess of $140 million and a rapidly expanding portfolio, supported by more than 1,250 staff in the region, IRC is undertaking programs in Syria and the neighboring countries of Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan in the fields of health, child protection, education, women's protection and empowerment, NFI and food distribution, cash assistance, water and sanitation, and livelihood programming. Our work in these challenging settings gives rise to some of the most pressing issues facing contemporary humanitarian action, including questions of access, security, funding and coordination. As the conflict in Syria has entered its seventh year, it is estimated that over 400,000 people have been killed in the county and a total of 13.5 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. Additionally, 6.6 million persons are displaced internally and over 4.7 million people are living in 'besieged' and 'hard to reach' areas. Within the Food Security Sector, as per the Humanitarian Needs Overview 2017, it has been assessed that 9 million people are in need of assistance, including 7 million considered as food insecure across the country.

Despite the efforts among a large number of International and Syrian NGOs and UN Agencies that have been providing assistance inside Syria, needs keep on increasing and coordination structures remain fragile as a result of continuous political sensitivity in Syria. As a result, the humanitarian community has embarked since 2014 on a Whole of Syria Approach in order to improve the overall humanitarian response based on a more integrated and connected coordination structure between the various "hubs" from which relief aid is being provided- either from Syria or cross-border operations from Turkey, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon. The Iraq Hub - more commonly called North East Syria (NES) - is growing in terms of partners and capacity.

Job Overview/Summary:

The HR Coordinator is responsible for providing strategic leadership for the HR function for over 500 staff and volunteers in North East Syria Program. The HR Co-coordinator reports to the Deputy Director Cross Border, and has a technical reporting line to the Iraq HR Director, and is a member of the North East Syria field based SMT.

Organization: Danish Refugee Council
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 06 Aug 2017

We are looking for highly qualified, self-motivated NGO Safety Adviser able to work with diverse teams of both national and international staff as well as local government authorities, UN agencies, I/NGOs and other partners under difficult, stressful and sometimes insecure conditions.

Who are we?

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC), founded in 1956 in Denmark, has been operational in South Sudan (formerly Southern Sudan of the greater Sudan) since 2005. Following the post -independence civil war of 2013, DRC reviewed its programming in the country to focus on the 2 states regarded as the epicenter of the civil war – the greater Unity state and the greater Upper Nile, while retaining in-house capacity to intervene in spontaneous emergencies in other parts of the country.

The situation in South Sudan continues to be very fragile. The collapse of the Government of National Unity in July 2016 precipitated triggers for conflict, insecurity, economic crisis and food insecurity across the country, with the currency in free fall and inflation skyrocketing. In February 2017, the Government of Silva Kir declared a national famine disaster with nearly 5 million or 40% of the population at risk. Besides civil conflict and drought, other key internal displacement hazards include flooding and health epidemics especially cholera.

During 2017, DRC is targeting nearly 300,000 Refugees and IDPs in at least 6 locations in the 2 states. About 52% of the population is women and half the population is below 18 years. The populations are assisted through funding from UNHCR (DRC is the lead partner of UNHCR in South Sudan), Danida, ECHO and OFDA among others. DRC programming strategy is three-pronged; responding to emergencies; seeking solutions to forced displacement and addressing root causes of displacement. DRC program interventions in South Sudan are realized through 5 key sectors, namely; Protection, Shelter &NFI; Food Security and Livelihoods, Camp Management and Demining activities. All sectors mainstream a Protection of Human Rights framework.
