Avis de recrutement d’un chef de département nutrition et santé H/F, Pemba, Mozambique
Votre environnement de travail
As of June, 2021, ACF in Mozambique has undertaken an initial scoping mission in October/November 2020 and a rapid informal information gathering in May 2021 for nutrition. This strategy is based on these results, plus the information gathered through ACF field presence and cluster’s participation since early 2021. Given the volatility of the context, including security situation changes since March 2021 and the consequent increase of humanitarian needs, ACF aims to completed an Food Security & Livelihoods targeted assessment.
Humanitarian needs among conflict-affected populations in Cabo Delgado are wide-ranging and span all of ACF’s traditional sector of expertise, including Food Security& Livelihoods, Nutrition & Health and WASH, which have been prioritized as part of our emergency strategy in partnership with local and international NGOs already present in Cabo Delgado to support the emergency response in the area. In light of the rapidly changing context, the humanitarian needs and ACF’s expertise, geographic area of intervention will focus on H2R (Hard to Reach) areas comprising Mueda, Nangade and Macomia, with complementarity in districts with likely IDPs’ influx pathways: Ancuabe, Montepuez and Chiure.
The mission currently employs 3 international and 3 national staff (in contract with an employment agency), working from the field office in Pemba. ACF is intending to expand on Cabo Delgado (Mueda, Ancuabe, Chiure and Macomia) to address the humanitarian needs of the population.
Pemba is the largest and capital city of Cabo Delgado Province. The base office and guesthouse are in the same compound but mission is looking for an office in the coming weeks. Apart from work movements during office hours, movements are limited with a 10pm curfew due to Covid-19. The base team is currently conducting assessments and discussing perspectives of with donors. One of the main challenges will be the development of the base to ensure presence and future expansion.
