JOB CONTEXT :

Venezuela is going through a complex economic, political and social crisis, as a result of the progressive deterioration of its economy, the scarcity of food and medicine, the weakening of public services (health and education) and basic services (water and energy), and the loss of purchasing power among the population.

The socio-economic crisis in led to the collapse of previously existing services and protection systems. The current humanitarian crisis is large-scale and the need for international assistance is increasing. In the medium term, inflation is expected to continue to rise, leading to increased poverty, deteriorating living conditions, food and drug shortages. The crisis hits especially the most vulnerable groups of the population, i.e. those who often have no choice but to stay in the country, such as women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities.

 

The coronavirus crisis is worsening a situation already extremely delicate mostly in terms of access to health and other social services and food security. It is expected that the undernutrition and malnutrition rates will increase due to the confinement measures leading to the inability for people to sustain their livelihood and the increase of prices for basic needs services and goods.

 

Humanity & Inclusion is implementing its intervention through local partners, with the aim to improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable Venezuelan, including persons with disabilities, by ensuring access to inclusive and quality services & livelihoods through a multi-sectoral response. The response includes inclusive humanitarian action, protection, physical and functional rehabilitation and MHPSS support, as well as access to food through cash-based transfers (vouchers).

An adaptation of the project activities has recently been adopted to adjust to the Covid-19 related movement restrictions and health prevention necessary measures.
