Job Title: Programme Coordinator – Deputy Head of Mission

Code: SR-35-1854

Duty station: Yemen > Sana’a > roving North

Starting date: 01/07/2021

Contract duration: 12 months

Reporting to: Head of Mission

Supervision of: Project Managers, activity coordinators and reporting officers

Dependents: Non-family Duty Station /non-accompanied

General context of the project

In 2021, Yemen remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis and aid operation. Over 6 years of war and armednconflict killed and injured tens of thousands of civilians, causing immensensuffering for the Yemeni people. In 2020, as the conflict intensified, 172,000npeople were newly displaced, reaching at total of at least 4 million IDPs. Theneconomy and the currency continued to collapse as foreign reserves werendepleted and the government was unable to subsidize food and other commoditiesnfor which Yemen is 90% import-reliant. The situation was exacerbated by thenglobal COVID-19 turndown which led to a sharp drop in remittances, the largestnsource of foreign currency and a lifeline for many families where 80% of peoplenlive below the poverty line. As a result, millions more people cannot afford to meet their basic needs. A fuel crisis in the North, part of a dispute over the use of revenues, led to chronic fuel shortages and price hikes. Government capacity to regularly pay salaries and pensions to public employees has been hindered and public services have been degraded. Yemen is also vulnerable to natural hazards. Between April and August 2020, heavy rains and flooding devastated communities, causing deaths and injuries, again destroying infrastructure and livelihoods, and increasing diseases spread and displacement. The impact of the drivers of the crisis is most visible in the growing risk of famine and acute severe malnutrition, disease outbreaks, conflict casualties, forced displacement and reversal of past development gains. In addition, the conduct of the parties to the conflict has had a profound impact on the aid operation – particularly humanitarian access, aid delivery and independent data collection/assessments.

 

INTERSOS works in Yemen since 2008, originally focused on protection programming for Somali refugees. Gradually, INTERSOS evolved with a raising scope in terms of population target groups, geographical span and sectors.

JOB CONTEXT :

The Yemeni situation has particularly deteriorated over the last few years. Following the Arab Springs, the long-term President Al Abdullah Saleh had to resign in response to mass protests, and was replaced by his vice president Mr. Hadi. The Houthi movement - a group that fought against Saleh during the previous decade - took advantage of the new president's weakness by taking control of their northern heartland of Saada province and neighboring areas.

In 2020, the war in Yemen is still ongoing, with renewed escalation of conflict near in the second half of the year. The spread of COVID-19 throughout Yemen placed immense pressure on Yemen’s destroyed health and water infrastructure.

In the South of the country the situation became more unstable with a double conflict in progress. First, along the frontline: with regular clashes between the pro-government forces and the Houthis. Secondly, tensions between remain between the STC and the Hadi’ government. During the month of August 2019 and again in May 2020, these tensions escalated to clashes within Aden city and the takeover of the city the STC as well as other strategic points. The Riyadh Agreement, a power sharing agreement remains unfilled
