  • In the second phase, initiate and coordinate the establishment of community feedback and complaints mechanisms that are safe, confidential, appropriate, and accessible for patients and caretakers, by engaging with senior staff, patients & caretakers, community members  
  1. Advise on the adaptation and implementation of procedures and processes related to behavior 
  • Engage with the HRCo to ensure that the MSF Behavioral Commitments (BCs) and related policies at both project and coordination level are not only signed, but also explained and integrated into the contractual framework right from the time of recruitment

  • Assess the level of implementation of the BCs  
  • Engage with the HRCo to understand how safe recruitment steps could be realistically, safely, and appropriately integrated into their existing recruitment procedures 
  1.  Increase Awareness on Safeguarding and Responsible Behavior

  • Raise awareness about how to welcome a complainant in a sensitive and culturally appropriate manner, adapted to the context, for complaints about inappropriate behavior, including where to refer complainants (complaint and adapted psycho-social and medical support mechanisms, and gender-based violence referral pathways should they exist when needed) 
  • Design awareness raising activities at field level for all field staff and targeted third parties, including Ministry of Health (MoH) staff, about abuse/inappropriate behavior prevention, detection, and the existing complaint procedures

Description

Handicap International/Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization, which intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and speaks out to meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. More info: www.hi.org

HI is committed to an employment policy in favour of disabled workers.

 

JOB CONTEXT:

HI started working in Afghanistan in 1996 and currently works across 6 provinces (Kabul, Kandahar, Kunduz, Herat, Nimruz and Bamyan). The population groups targeted by HI interventions include IDPs, returnees, persons with disabilities, women headed households and other vulnerable people who have been affected by natural and manmade disasters. HI is a strong actor promoting and advocating for the rights of survivors of landmines and other people with disabilities as a whole and provides technical support to key stakeholders including humanitarian partners.

HI’s activities cover several thematic areas including Mine Risk Education, Physical rehabilitation, Protection (including Mental Health and Psychosocial support – MHPSS) and Livelihoods. 

HI co-chairs the Disability Inclusion Working Group (DiWG) as well as supports Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) as an integral aspect of mainstreaming disability inclusion in the country and across the humanitarian response.

The security rating of the security environment Afghanistan continues to remain high. However, HI continues to enjoy wide acceptance from stakeholders and within the communities it works in.

This position may be based in Herat, Nimroz or Kabul where expatriates live in secure houses within compounds equipped with safe rooms and armored doors. Social interaction with other members of the humanitarian community is allowed and expatriates visit other NGO compounds (subject to validation of the security situation by the security manager).

In addition, HI has bases in Kunduz and Bamyan and expats are expected to travel to and work from field locations as and when required.
