Description | Position Start Date : 13.01.2020
Duration : 12 months Location : Maiduguri – Nigeria Terre des hommes does not set closing dates for this position; recruitment is on-going until the position is filled
Tdh: Terre des hommes Foundation (Tdh) is the leading Swiss child relief organization, based in Lausanne (Switzerland). Every year our projects support more than 2 million children (3 million in 2016) and their families in over 35 countries. We are part of the Terre des hommes International Federation (TDHIF), with 9 other sister organizations in Switzerland, Europe and Canada. Tdh has established a Country Office in Nigeria, initially to respond to the Lake Chad Basin Crisis, since mid-2017. For the moment, the organization is operating only in Borno State (essentially the “Eastern Crescent” of the State), but with perspectives of development in some other parts of the country. TdH contributes to the crisis’ response by providing child protection services and healthcare assistance to most vulnerable children and their families. TdH also provides some necessary basic services regarding access to drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene. Moreover, in the line of its expertise and programing positioning at the worldwide level, Tdh also analyzes the situation, as well as the potential response to the crisis on a mid-term basis, regarding the early recovery and livelihood sector. Indeed, given its core competencies in term of deployment of a response for primary needs, implementation of development projects, support to the public services and community/social approach of the beneficiaries, TdH thinks that the organization could have an added value on all the dynamics/programs related to the stabilization or the structuration in the North in general or North-East in particular.
Context: The Tdh Country Representative (CR) is responsible for overall leadership and supervisory management of Tdh staff, programming, and operations, including program quality and accountability, stewardship of resources, staff safety and security, performance management and external representation.

S/He will maintain continuity of the current emergency response, while exploring the possibility of developing “mid-term/long-term needs programs”. S/He is expected to manage responsive and effective operations implemented both directly and with Nigerian partner organizations. S/He will run the country delegation in pursuing the outcomes identified in the country strategy, bringing them together to deliver high-quality, cost-effective programming results with high levels of accountability. Moreover, thhe CR will provide oversight for directly supervised senior executive/technical officers; leading country management team (CMT) to identify, design and deliver responsive, high-quality programs; ensuring efficient management of public grants and private funds for results, compliance, and focused, timely reporting; and oversight of financial management and compliance systems.
