Contexte du poste

La Croix-Rouge française (CRf) est présente au Niger depuis 1998, où elle a développé une coopération avec la Croix-Rouge Nigérienne (CRN) initialement basée sur le développement organisationnel et le développement communautaire, l’éducation et la promotion de l'hygiène en milieu scolaire et la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA.Depuis juin 2005, dans le contexte de la grave crise alimentaire qu’a connu le pays, la CRf a augmenté considérablement son volume opérationnel en s’implantant à travers des sous-délégations au niveau des régions de Zinder et Agadez. A ce jour, la CRf intervient aux côtés de la CRN et des services étatiques en matière de prévention et prise en charge de la malnutrition aigüe globale, d’amélioration de la santé maternelle et néo-natale, de soutien psychosocial et médical au profit des populations migrantes, d’eau/hygiène/assainissement, et dans une moindre mesure en matière de sécurité alimentaire dans une optique d’approche intégrée au profit du couple mère-enfant. Quatrième délégation à l’international en termes de volume financier et opérationnel, la délégation CRf au Niger accueille actuellement une équipe d’une quinzaine d’expatriés, emploie plus de 200 collaborateurs nationaux, et travaille avec plus de 900 volontaires. La délégation CRf au Niger gère un portfolio de projets annuels et pluriannuels, sous financement de l’Union européenne (ECHO et DG DEVCO) / Agence Française de Développement / UNICEF / PAM / Fondations notamment.

La coordination se compose d’un chef de délégation qui a sous sa responsabilité directe 4 coordinateurs support, une assistante et deux chefs de sous-délégation. La délégation comprend une base de coordination en capitale, une sous-délégation à Zinder, et une sous-délégation à Agadez. Au niveau de la sous-délégation de Zinder, l’équipe expatriée se compose d’un chef de sous-délégation, d’une coordinatrice administration finances ressources humaines, d’un coordinateur santé nutrition, d’un chef de projet Eau & Assainissement et d’un responsable logistique.A ce jour, la sous-délégation de Zinder met en œuvre cinq contrats de subvention :• DG ECHO pour la prise en charge des malnutris sévères avec ou sans complication médicale dans le district sanitaire de Tanout • Programme Alimentaire Mondial (PAM) pour la prise en charge des malnutris modérés dans le district sanitaire de Tanout• UNICEF pour la prévention de la malnutrition chronique au niveau communautaire dans le district sanitaire de Tanout • EuropeAid pour l’amélioration de l’accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement dans les départements de Magaria, Doungass, Belbedji et Tanout • Agence Française de Développement pour l’amélioration de la santé maternelle et néo natale.D’un point de vue institutionnel, les activités de la CRf s’inscrivent également dans un processus de renforcement des capacités, aux côtés de la Fédération Croix-Rouge Croissant-Rouge et de la Croix-Rouge Irlandaise, de la CRN en termes de gouvernance et de développement organisationnel. Description du projet:Le projet « Amélioration de l’accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement de base, ainsi que des pratiques d’hygiène pour les populations des départements de Tanout, Belbedji, Doungass et Magaria, région de Zinder, Niger » est financé par l’Union Européenne dans le cadre de la Facilité Eau (Convention de subvention N° FED/2011/278-587) et la Fondation Suez. D’une durée d’exécution de 48 mois, le projet a démarré officiellement le 1er février 2012.Le projet vise à contribuer à réduire l'incidence sur la santé des maladies liées à l'eau et à l'assainissement. Il vise également à contribuer à réduire la mortalité infantile et maternelle. Ces objectifs globaux sont complétés par un objectif spécifique visant à améliorer l'accès à l'eau potable, à l'assainissement de base, ainsi que les pratiques d'hygiène des populations cibles des départements de Tanout et Magaria.

Afin de développer une approche intégrée en complémentarité avec les actions en cours de la Croix-Rouge française dans la zone et de conserver ainsi la cohérence stratégique du partenariat avec la Croix-Rouge Nigérienne, le projet sera exécuté principalement dans les aires de santé dans lesquelles la CRf et la CRN interviennent (projet de prise en charge des enfants malnutris financé par la DG ECHO, projet de Nutrition Assise Communautaire financé à travers l’UNICEF, projet de santé materno infantile financé par l’Agence Française de Développement). Le nombre de bénéficiaires directs du projet est estimé à 42.000 personnes.Principales activités du projet : Le projet se propose d’améliorer les conditions d’accès à l’eau, à l’assainissement de base, ainsi que les pratiques d’hygiène des populations des départements de Tanout et Magaria situés dans la région de Zinder, et ce en intervenant sur ces trois aspects de la problématique : • Accès et disponibilité en eau de qualité : construction/réhabilitation de 48 ouvrages hydrauliques (avec la création ou la redynamisation des comités de gestion des points d’eau) ;• Accès à des dispositifs d’assainissement améliorés : aide aux communautés pour la construction de 3 000 latrines individuelles (dalles SanPlat), construction de 150 latrines en milieu scolaire (avec la mise en place de comités d’assainissement en milieu scolaire) ;• Promotion de l’hygiène : réalisation d’une enquête sur les Connaissances, Attitudes et Pratiques des populations vis-à-vis de l’hygiène, réalisation de séances de sensibilisation à l'hygiène auprès de la population et dans les écoles et distribution de bidons pour la collecte et le stockage de l'eau, formation des volontaires de la CRN et des communes sur la promotion de l’hygiène (et la maîtrise d’Ouvrage Communale) ;• Afin d’augmenter la pérennité du projet, un volet renforcement des capacités des acteurs intervenants dans le domaine de l’eau (institutionnels et les usagers) est mis en place. Un des résultats attendus du projet est que les acteurs locaux soutenus (communes, services techniques déconcentrés, Croix-Rouge Nigérienne, populations locales) développent leurs capacités en matière de Service Public de l'Eau, de mise en œuvre et de suivi de projets hydrauliques. A noter qu’une demande d’avenant au projet (réalisation d’activités additionnelles, allongement de la durée de mise en œuvre du projet) est actuellement en cours de réflexion pour soumission à l’Union Européenne courant novembre 2014.
