We work alongside disabled and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

 

For further information about the association: http://www.handicap-international.fr/

 

Present in more than 55 countries, Handicap International is composed of 2 operational directions:

- The Direction of Humanitarian Action

- The Direction of Development Action

 

CONTEXT OF THE MISSION

 

The unrest in Syria began in 2011 when, following the revolution in Tunisia and Egypt, a large national popular movement pushed the Syrian people to demonstrate in the street to request more freedom and dignity. Given the scale of the repression and the lack of any political improvement, the country fall gradually into a civil war characterized by the systematic and extensive use of explosive weapons in populated areas. As the conflict intensified and more and more actors (local, regional and international) were involved, the original democratic aspirations of the uprising gradually disappeared in favor of a sectarian reading of the fighting. Islamist and Jihadists groups made the most of the chaos to take progressively the lead over opposition armed groups all the more the international community remained unable to find a political solution to the conflict. In almost four years of war, the Syrian crisis has deeply impacted the security and political stability of its neighboring countries. 6.7 million People were displaced inside Syria and more than 3.2 million fled the country with around 640,000 in Jordan (up to April 2016). 

 

The political and security situation in Jordan is, since July 2014, driven by the threat of the Islamic State. Local authorities have been since September 2014 reluctant to allow a high number of people to come into the country. Nevertheless, even if the humanitarian space is reducing, the needs remain high. As many actors are present at camp level (Zaatari and Azraq camps) and as around 84% of Syrians are leaving outside camps, gaps still need to be covered mainly in the host community. 

 

During the last months, Government of Jordan finally allowed thousands of refugees to enter the country and to be hosted in Azraq camp, meaning an important increase in refugees’ influx in difficult situation. Primary needs of refugees remain linked to livelihood, health and food but beyond these, refugees are facing a lot of issues related to protection. A situation worsened by negative coping mechanisms as many Syrian refugees have now been displaced for over three years.

Description

CONTEXTE DE TRAVAIL

Handicap International est constitué de 2 directions opérationnelles :

  • la Direction d’Action du Développement (DAD)
  • la Direction de l’Action Humanitaire (DAH) qui regroupe les opérations de réponse à l’urgence et d’action de lutte contre les mines. 

La DAH met en œuvre actuellement des programmes dans plusieurs pays: RDC, Mali, Philippines, Népal, Ukraine, RCA et Yémen, Irak, Liban, Jordanie, Syrie, Turquie, Tchad, Lybie et Cambodge. Elle compte actuellement environ 150 expatriés et une équipe siège constituée d’une soixantaine de personnes.

Concernant son mandat de réponse à l’urgence, la DAH a pour but de :

  • Fournir une réponse adéquate lors des catastrophes naturelles et des situations de conflit, partout dans le monde, et ce, autant que possible dès les premières 72 heures suivant le déclenchement de la crise ; 
  • Apporter une assistance aux populations déplacées, réfugiées et sinistrées en raison des conflits ou des catastrophes, et en leur sein aux personnes blessées et handicapées ; 
  • Assurer une veille permanente des crises chroniques et/ou conflits pour garantir une réponse rapide aux éventuels besoins d’urgence qui pourraient survenir. 
  • Lutter contre les mines antipersonnel et les bombes à sous-munitions (BASM), travail sur la réduction des risques et la prévention des accidents que génèrent les armes conventionnelles

C’est pour mieux atteindre cet objectif qu’une équipe de voltigeurs a été créée au sein de la DAH composée de 7 personnes :

  • un chef de mission ;
  • un coordinateur administratif ;
  • un coordinateur logistique ;
  • un coordinateur terrain/des opérations ;
  • deux chefs de projet « besoins spécifiques » spécialisé dans la couverture des besoins spécifiques des personnes vulnérables;
  • un chef de projet « besoins de base » spécialisé dans la couverture des besoins essentiels de ces mêmes bénéficiaires - la vulnérabilité étant, dans ce contexte,  une notion élargie qui pourrait couvrir l’ensemble des personnes affectées par un phénomène.

Dans les situations d’urgence, l’Organisation s’engage à répondre à ces problématiques :

  • Moyens d’existence d’urgence : distribution de kits d’articles ménagers essentiels (NFI) et/ou programmes de transferts monétaires
  • Gestion et distribution de l’aide humanitaire (plateforme logistique): transport, stockage, post-acheminement de matériels de première nécessité ou de vivres ;
  • Gestion de camps 
  • Eau, Hygiène et assainissement 
  • Habitat et Construction communautaire : Abris d’urgence, construction/réhabilitation d’abris temporaires individuels et d’infrastructures communautaires accessibles ;
  • Réadaptation physique et fonctionnelle (rééducation, fourniture d’aides techniques, appareillage (orthèses et prothèses)…)
  • Soutien psychosocial 
  • Inclusion et accessibilité (plaidoyer et actions directes) pour une meilleure prise en charge des personnes exclues des services, et en particulier des personnes handicapées/personnes blessées, dans l’assistance humanitaire.
 
DESCRIPTION DE LA MISSION
 
Les membres de l’équipe de voltigeurs sont amenés à travailler :
  1. sur le terrain dans le cadre de l’ouverture de programmes; 
  2. sur le terrain en support à des missions préétablies;

  • Mettre en place le cadre administratif et financier en ouverture de mission, et ce conformément aux procédures de l’Organisation et aux recommandations délivrées par le siège; 
  • Apporter un soutien administratif et financier en ouverture de mission, lorsque nécessaire et de manière générale être en capacité de prendre différentes tâches et responsabilités à la demande du chef de mission qui ne serait pas forcément dépendant du rôle d’un administrateur;

Description

NGO DESCRIPTION

Handicap International (HI) is an independent and impartial international aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, HI’s  actions  are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and realization of their fundamental rights.

Handicap International is a not-for-profit organization with no religious or political affiliation. It operates as a federation made up of a network of associations that provide it with human and financial resources, manage its projects and implement its actions and social mission.

For more details on the association: http://www.handicap-international.org

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, rehabilitation centers, 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 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. HI has implemented some direct management programs in the past and is looking for ways to launch more in the coming months.

 

MAIN RESPONSABILITIES & TASKS

1. PROGRAM LEVEL TECHNICAL SUPPORT 

• Guide rehabilitation staff members, P&O’s in particular, to  respect HI’s physical and functional rehabilitation technical guidelines, quality and evidence;

• Implement, incrementally, HI’s Physical and Functional Rehabilitation Policy Paper principles, benchmarks, and modalities;  

• Ensure appropriateness, quality, and quantity of output of all  rehabilitation  staff members, P&O’s in particular, in collaboration with operations; 

• Liaise with Headquarters Technical Referents (HQ TRs) on physical and functional rehabilitation as needed; 

• Oversee the design and review, integration, and use of technical tools, training materials, leaflets and other relevant documents in collaboration with the corresponding HI team members and HQ TRs; 

• Warrant that rehabilitation technical support  is provided to operational teams according to needs identified and within the mission’s framework;

• Define training priorities and needs with staff and partners in close collaboration with the related staff members, coordinate trainings with other staff members as appropriate and contribute to overall training strategies;  

2. STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION

• Consult staff members, analyse program data, activities, and outputs, and use program level technical expertise to contribute to strategic planning and decision-making processes, as requested;

• Lead the implementation of the physical and functional rehabilitation  technical component of the strategy by overseeing implementation of related strategies, plans, and activities from perspective of adherence to technical standards of quality;

• Participate in identification of partnership opportunities with health-related Syrian, local and international organizations (INGOs, UN…) in collaboration with the Technical Coordinator; 

• Participate in proposal design and follow-up to ensure that the physical and functional rehabilitation  technical components, P&O specifically, are relevant, effective/impactful, efficient, and sustainable; 

3. BUILD COMMUNICATION AND COHERENCE AMONG THE SYRIA MISSION’S THREE HUBS 

• Facilitate the harmonisation of physical and functional rehabilitation, P&O specifically, competencies, materials, tools, approaches, etc.  throughout the mission; 

• Establish criteria for quality of materials, collect all materials, compare materials to criteria, prioritize materials in terms of immediate and long-term needs of the mission and ensure their capitalisation. 

4. COORDINATION AND REPRESENTATION 

• Respect the human resources, logistical and/or administrative procedures; 

• Collaborate and coordinate  with other technical, operational and support domains as needed; 

• Determine and review P&O-related technical support needs and coordinate with staff members as to provide effective support to project teams in each hub;

5. REPORTING

• Contribute to the monthly situation report (SITREP)

 

SPECIFICITIES & CONDITIONS

  • Living conditions: guesthouse shared with other expatriates (no charges). Possibility of individual accommodation with costs shared between HI and staff .
  • Travel: this is a highly mobile position. Employee should  expect to spend at least 50% of their working time outside of Jordan, with trips to Beirut (Lebanon), Gaziantep and Antakya (Turkey), and other relevant locations in the Middle East.

Description

Handicap International (HI) is an independent and impartial international aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, HI’s actions are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and realization of their fundamental rights. Handicap International is a not-for-profit organization with no religious or political affiliation. It operates as a federation made up of a network of associations that provide it with human and financial resources, manage its projects and implement its actions and social mission. For more details on the association: http://www.handicap-international.org 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, rehabilitation centers, 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 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. HI has implemented some direct management programs in the past and is looking for ways to launch more in the coming months. DESCRIPTION DE POSTE : 1.
