GOAL est présent en Haïti depuis presque 5 ans avec des programmes en milieu urbain (Port au Prince) et rural (Gressier). GOAL continue à soutenir les familles affectées par le tremblement de terre (logement, eau et sanitaire) tout en entament la transition vers un programme de développement dirigé par la communauté.

Durant cette transition stratégique, GOAL a pour ambition d’allier aide et développement à travers 4 secteurs programmatiques : RRC et reconstruction, relogement des personnes déplacées, développement économique et WASH. Le principal objectif du programme est de renforcer les communautés afin de les rendre plus résistant face aux catastrophes en partie grâce à un meilleur accès aux ressources économiques. GOAL Haïti utilise une approche qui laisse le pouvoir de décision dans la communauté.

Les projets de GOAL sont financés par OFDA, ECHO, UE, Irish Aid et Bank of Ireland. 130 personnes, dont 10 internationaux, sont actuellement employées dans une de nos bureaux à Gressier ou à Pétion-Ville.

La déscription du poste est en anglais étant donné que le processus de recrutement se déroulera principalement en anglais.
