ACTED recruits 01 Junior EU Aid Volunteer / Finance

 

ACTED:

Since 1993, as an international non-governmental organization, ACTED has been committed to immediate humanitarian relief to support those in urgent need and protect people’s dignity, while co-creating longer term opportunities for sustainable growth and fulfilling people’s potential. ACTED endeavors to respond to humanitarian crises and build resilience; promote inclusive and sustainable growth; co-construct effective governance and support the building of civil society worldwide by investing in people and their potential. We go the last mile: ACTED’s mission is to save lives and support people in meeting their needs in hard to reach areas. With a team of 4,600 national staff 400 international staff, ACTED is active in 37 countries and implements more than 500 projects a year reaching over 14 million beneficiaries. The EU Aid Volunteers initiative provides opportunities to European citizens and long-term residents, from a wide range of backgrounds and with a diversity of skills and professional experience, to get involved in humanitarian aid projects, support the provision of needs based humanitarian aid in third countries and engage in volunteering opportunities, through deployment.

ACTED in Jordan:

Through its coordination office in Amman, ACTED is working in Jordan to meet the needs of the refugee populations in the country, with a shift from lifesaving activities to long-term livelihoods programming. ACTED also provides support to Jordanian host populations and local actors, also affected by the challenges faced by the country, ensuring all can access basic services. In Za’atari camp, Azraq camp and Mafraq, ACTED teams play a key role in the management and coordination of refugee camps, support to informal tented settlement populations and provide emergency assistance to ensure people’s access to food, water and hygiene and sanitation facilities. More broadly, ACTED works with municipalities and community organizations to build capacity and promote sustainable solutions. Since 2011, Jordan has provided refuge to 1.2 million Syrians refugees, of which 656,900 are registered. 93% of Syrians are living in host communities, well below the poverty line, among which more than 15,000 live in informal tented settlements with other vulnerable populations. The influx of refugees has increased demand and pressure on the country’s services and has had a significant impact on infrastructure, access to quality education, livelihoods, provision of water, hygiene and sanitation services and led to the emergence of protection concerns for both refugees and vulnerable Jordanians.

The apprenticeship for this position will be based in ACTED’s HQ in Paris, France. During the apprenticeship the Volunteer will be managed by a line manager from the Finance department, where there we will be interacting with departments within ACTED HQ and with field missions.
