HI recruits 01 Field Coordinator

 

CONTEXT :

Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.
Handicap International is changing his name and becomes « Humanity & Inclusion ». HI, Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation with no religious or political affiliations operating in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

HI has offices in more than 55 countries, for further information about the association: www.hi.org.

JOB CONTEXT:

HI’s first activities in Myanmar were in the frame of the Cyclone Nargis’s response, from Oct 2008 to Dec 2009. Following the ratification of the CRPD by the Myanmar authorities, HI decided to reopen a mission in Myanmar in 2014 and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Social Welfare in September 2015. In 2017, also a MOU with the Ministry of Health and Sport was signed.
Myanmar-Thailand program was created in 2016 with the merge of 2 already existing missions. Setting up cross border initiatives and integrate the coming return of refugees from Thailand to Myanmar is at the heart of the regional strategy.

HI opened an office in Myitkyina (Kachin) in November 2017. Kachin State, in the northern part of Myanmar between China and India, has been affected by a conflict between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the Myanmar Army (MMA) since early 1960’s, in the aftermath of Myanmar independence. A 17 year cease fire ended in 2011 with revived disputes and hostilities, triggering a massive internal displacement of more than 90.000 people to 120 IDP camps. While the latter are still displaced, new displacements regularly occur.
In Myitkyina, HI is delivering assistance to improve living conditions of persons with disabilities affected by displacements and conflicts.
2 projects are under implementation in a total of 10 IDPs camps and 4 host communities in Myitkyina & Waingmaw Townships, aiming at improving the services and the humanitarian assistance to persons with disabilities through improved data collection and identification, improved inclusion of services delivered by humanitarian organizations, direct delivery of services to cover basic and specific needs of persons with disabilities and capacity building of partners. HI is working in Kachin with implementing partners.

The team is still relatively new and needs strong day to day management, capacity building and coaching. Security, context and needs analysis, strategical development of HI position, management of 3 partnerships contract and monitoring of remote activities implemented by partner are also key stakes to be addressed by the Field Coordinator.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POSITION:
