HI recruits 01 Technical Advisor in Inclusive Humanitarian Action
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 63 countries; for further information about the association: www.hi.org.
JOB CONTEXT : Handicap International started in Somaliland in 1992 by setting up a rehabilitation center in Hargeisa. HI’s strategy in Somaliland has been since to advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities (PWDs) and to engage development actors to promote inclusion and participation of PWDs at local and national level. From 2010 to 2014, HI implemented a Human Rights project entitled “Enhanced participation of Somalis with disability for human rights and democracy in Somaliland and Puntland”. This project strengthened the capacity of 15 Disable People Organizations (DPOs) at grassroots level to empower people with disability to actively promote and advocate for their rights for protection and inclusion. A major outcome of this intervention was the development of a Disability Policy for Somaliland and Puntland. Furthermore HI is currently carrying out exploratory mission to extend the programme in South Central of Somalia and it is expected that HI will open its mission in Mogadishu (South Central Somalia in last quarter of 2019. The position will mainly focus on supporting the inclusion component of the HI project “Emergency response for most at risk displaced and host population with a focus on elderly, people with injuries, chronic illness, physical disabilities and/or psychological distress and their family members affected by the crisis in Somalia” as well as Consortium Partners’ project “Integrated humanitarian assistance – in kind and in cash – and disaster preparedness for populations affected by drought and cyclone in Awdal Region, Somaliland”.
YOUR MISSION: The Technical Advisor Inclusion in Humanitarian Action will be under direct line management of Somaliland Country Manager, but with delegation to the Project Manager for daily management and coordination within Somaliland and South Central Somalia mission and teams.
