JOB CONTEXT: The HI Ethiopia-Somalia program is currently implementing 15 projects in various sectors of interventions, including Inclusive Humanitarian Action, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, Protection, Physical and Functional Rehabilitation, Livelihood and Education. The program has long-standing programming in Addis Ababa, Oromea, Somali, Dire Dawa, Gambella and Benishengul-Gumuz. Since 2021, the program has also been responding to the current crisis in Northern Ethiopia, with new bases in Tigray and Afar. In Somalia, the program is intervening in Somaliland – with a coordination base in Hargeisa – but also in Mogadishu.
With an average yearly budget of 4.5 million EUR (and increasing), the program is expanding based on its 3-years operational strategy and switching from chronic crisis responses to more emergency responses, in order to meet the needs of the most vulnerable and especially people with specific needs. Among the main donors for HI operations, we have ECHO, BHA, PRM, CDCS, EHF, MoFA Luxembourg and GFFO.
