Nigeria is the country with the largest GDP of the whole African continent and it is currently living strong internal crisis due to several factors. In the coastal area, tensions are still ongoing, sometimes in a very violent way, and are related to environmental associations and to the kidnapping of several technicians who were working for oil extraction. In the south and in the centre of the country tensions are very strong too, and really violent, especially between farmers and breeders. But the two main issues that are really concerning the humanitarian community are the persistence of malnutrition and food insecurity in the Sahel area in the north of the country and the considerable increase in the fresh wave of attacks of the terrorist movement, the Islamic fundamentalist Boko Aram. In all the states of the North and Centre, but especially in the three states of the North East (Yobe, Borno and Adamawa) where the state of emergency has been declared, there are ongoing attacks in schools, churches, shopping centers, markets and any crowded place. The IDPs are fleeing from the most insecure areas and they are about 700.000, while there are several thousand of refugees in the neighboring countries (Cameroon, Niger and Chad).

Coopi is currently organizing an assessment mission to evaluate a rapid response to the severe nutritional and food security crisis and humanitarian assistance to the IDPs in the areas currently in a state of emergency.

Descrizione e requisiti

To carry out its activities, Coopi is looking for:

— A Project Manager/ Head of Mission

— An Administrator

• Advanced degree in International Education, International Development, Health and Nutrition, Logistics, Agriculture and Food Security or a related field or equivalent work
