Organization: International Rescue Committee
Country: Liberia
Closing date: 04 Jan 2015

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

IRC has worked in Liberia since 1996 and is one of the largest humanitarian actors in the country. On March 31, 2014, the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was identified as an outbreak in Liberia. Progress was made towards containing the initial phase of the outbreak. However, beginning on May 29, 2014, a second wave of cases was identified. Because of community misconceptions about EVD, the weak health systems of the affected countries (originally Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia), and inexperience dealing with Ebola, the outbreak has spread beyond the Ministry of Health or implementing partners' abilities to address it. As a result, on August 8, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The outbreak rages on, now with over 2,400 deaths and 4,000 cases in Liberia. Pre-crisis, the work of IRC in Liberia has had a development focus in the areas of Health, Child Protection and Women's Protection and Empowerment (WPE). However, as part of the organizational mandate to respond to emergencies, the IRC quickly diverted existing funding and raised new funds for critical EVD prevention and response activities in target areas.

Scope of the position:

The Deputy Director of Programs is responsible for the supervision and support of all of the IRC's program activities, and, together with the Country Director, will lead the strategic development of the country program. The position requires considerable travel to the field sites. Working under the supervision of the Country Director, s/he is expected to take the lead in planning, development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all the IRC program initiatives. S/he will directly supervise sector Coordinators and the Grants Unit, and indirectly a number of other program staff in the field.

Responsibilities:

• Provide strategic leadership to the IRC programming and staff;
• Ensure that all programming is designed, managed and implemented in a timely and high-quality manner, according to pre-established workplans, and that program decisions are based on reliable and accurate data;
• Provide overall supervision and support for all program staff, including direct supervision of sector coordinators and grants management staff;
• Ensure that strong and regular coordination takes place between all internal stakeholders, and that IRC is appropriately represented at external coordination fora, and to external stakeholders.

Requirements

• Degree in Development, International Relations, Social Work, or other relevant field;
• At least five years of international program management experience, including in post-conflict settings;
• Extensive international experience implementing programs in conflict or post-conflict regions with a demonstrated knowledge of transitioning relief programs to post-emergency recovery;
• Experience working in a multi-cultural setting and in preference in Africa
• Demonstrated experience and knowledge of participatory techniques and methodologies;
• Demonstrated experience in project design and use of project design tools;
• Demonstrated experience in supervising expatriate and national staff, and in mentoring of national staff; strong commitment to staff capacity development;
• Knowledge of key donor policies and regulations, including USAID, ECHO, UN agencies, and other European government donor agencies;
• Strong communication and inter-personal skills; must be a strong team player;
• Excellent written and verbal skills in the English language;
• Willingness to travel frequently to remote program locations.

Housing

The Health Consortium Team Leader is an unaccompanied position and will be based in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, in private shared housing with cleaning provided

Safety & Security Situation

All international Staff must comply with all IRC Liberia security policies and procedures. While there is a great deal of media coverage about the risks of working in an Ebola affected country, both the CDC and WHO have stated that the highest risks remain for those directly treating Ebola patients which this position would not be involved in. Furthermore, you will be working with a team of fellow international staff who continue to work confidently in the country, following robust IRC hygiene protocols to minimize any risk. At any point the position holder has the option to end the assignment should you feel unsafe in any way, with no repercussions in terms of employment in other IRC programs.

Organization: Danish Refugee Council
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 06 Nov 2014

1. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a unit within the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) specialised in Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) and Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA). DDG’s work is based on the ethical standards and humanitarian values of DRC; humanity, respect for human rights, neutrality and independence towards the environments where we work, participation of those we help and transparency towards all stakeholders.

DDG was established in 1998 and has been operational in the Horn of Africa since 1999 The focus of our work has increasingly moved towards AVR, including community-driven approaches to improving public security provision, conflict management and conflict analysis and sensitivity. The starting point for DDG’s work on armed violence is that every human being has the right to life, safety and security of person, including the right to protection from harm. DDG believes that the process of building a safe society to a large extent depends on the involvement of the people forming that very same society. The work to improve safety must therefore be based on a dual-tiered approach:
• Improving the population’s capacity for voicing their needs and claiming their rights to protection from harm as well as empowering people for non-violent conflict management and consensus building;
• Enabling formal security providers to be more responsive to the population and, as a result, better fulfill their responsibilities.

DDG is one of several organisations supporting the locally-driven Danwaadag initiative in Baidoa Somalia which focusses on civic revival and recovery. As part of the organization’s ongoing support to Danwadaag, DDG is keen to source specialist external advice for Danwaadag’s community leaders on how to address the social fallout of past rounds of violence and other trauma-inducing events in the area, as the issue has been highlighted as a key concern by planning groups concerned with outbreaks of violence, social breakdown and mental health problems.

2. PURPOSE
To better inform community-driven planning processes in Baidoa which seek to understand the causes and future options to address the social fallout of past armed violence and traumatic events through an initial assessment visit and provision of advice to DDG and to local planning groups.

3. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct an assessment of the social and individual consequences of past incidents of violence and other trauma-inducing events in Baidoa, and provide recommendations for addressing these issues through the ongoing Baidoa-based Danwaadag initiative of which DDG is a supporter. Special attention should be on:
• Profile and caseload of affected persons
• Quality and nature of existing responses in Baidoa
• Options for Danwaadaag stakeholders to engage safely and effectively on this issue
• Options and considerations for DDG to provide support while also addressing potential risks and supporting sustainable community follow-up

4. DRC’S RESPONSIBILITIES
DDG will cover transport to and from necessary meetings

5. REPORTING ARRANGEMENTS
The consultant will report to DDG Somalia’s Deputy Country Director

6. DURATION OF ASSIGNMENT
21 days during period between 09-30 November 2014 (including preparatory work, 3-5 day field visit to Baidoa and approximately 2 week report writing).

7. EXPECTED PROFILE OF CONSULTANT(S)
• Experience of issues of post-conflict recovery, particularly social and psychological issues
• Knowledge of links between issues of peacebuilding, armed violence, reconciliation, and treatment of psychological trauma and accompanying health issues
• Experience of the Somali context, particularly Southern Somalia

8. GENERAL
Commitments: DRC has a Humanitarian Accountability Framework, outlining its global accountability committments. All staff are required to contribute to the achievement of this framework (http://www.drc.dk/HAF.4265.0.html)

About DRC
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a private, independent, humanitarian organization working on all aspects of the refugee cause in more than twenty five countries throughout the world. The aim of DRC is to protect refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) against persecution and to promote durable solutions to the problems of forced migration, on the basis of humanitarian principles and human rights.
