MISSION CONTEXT

 

The Syrian crisis is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the last 20 years. According to the latest UN figures, about 13.5 million people are currently affected by the crisis in Syria, including about 6.5 million IDPs, while over 4 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighbouring countries or in Europe. The current humanitarian response only provides a patchy and partial coverage of the growing humanitarian needs. Five years after the beginning of the crisis, the number of injured persons in Syria keeps rising, with a severe lack of health and rehabilitation care and psychosocial support. In hard-to-reach areas and/or areas of new displacement, local populations and IDPs are in need of emergency assistance in terms of food, household essential items, and other basic needs. The inclusion of the most vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, in the humanitarian response remains a major concern. 

 

HI is managing a remote humanitarian program from three hubs in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, along four main pillars:

 

1. Support to health partners (hospitals, care houses, rehabilitation centres, local NGOs) for the provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services (physical and functional rehabilitation, psychosocial support and/or prosthetics and orthotics) through training, technical supervisions and donations of assistive devices and/or equipment

2. Provision of basic needs kits – food baskets, household essential items and hygiene kits – in one-shot distributions to people who experience a sudden degradation of their living conditions due to renewed conflict, displacement and/or exclusion from humanitarian assistance

3. Education to the risks and effects caused by conventional weapons (including mines, explosive remnants of war and small arms light weapons) and urgent marking of hazardous areas

4. Training and technical support to other humanitarian actors on the inclusion of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable persons in the humanitarian response.

 

The actual intervention is based on a mix of remote management of national teams and remote partnerships with local structures and organisations. 

 

Under the responsibility of the Head of Programs (HoP) and in close collaboration with the Technical Unit and with the three Area Coordinators, the Grant Manager will be in charge of:

 

-contributing to strategic planning exercises and mission programming exercises

-leading the preparation of new concept notes, project proposals, and donor reports

-ensuring the timeliness and quality of program documents for donors and for humanitarian coordination fora

-providing training and capacity building to HI staff and partner staff on program development and reporting

-supporting the Head of Mission and the Head of Programs in donor relations

-acting as an information resource on HI’s intervention in Syria and on humanitarian best practices

 

MAIN TASKS OF THE EXPATRIATE: 

 

1) Mission programming

2) Grant management

3) Field visits & capacity building

4) Humanitarian coordination and donor relations
