JOB CONTEXT:

Beginning in early 2019 HI is implementing, in partnership with a Tunisian NGO, a three year project entitled ‘Action for Mental Health Assistance in Libya’ (AMAL) as part of wider initiatives to improve the access and quality of health care services in Libya

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POSITION :

The position is based in Tunis with frequent travels to Libya (about 50% of the time) when

security allows

 

Tunisia is a relatively safe country although security incidents over recent years demand the requirement for close follow up of the context and movement restrictions in some areas of the country. Travel between Tunis and Libya is reliable and regular with commercial flights to most major cities.

 

Libya’s security is fluctuating and prone to violent conflict erupting at any moment, as it is suffering from a lack of a consolidated government since 2011. International staff are accommodated in a shared guest house/office with other expatriates and should expect isolated living conditions with movement restrictions and a curfew in place for each base. Very limited opportunities exist for socializing however a small number of other expatriates from other NGOs are based in Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi.
