Makeni, Sierra Leone
Logistic Coordinator
CONTEXT
Inter Aide (IA) is a French NGO. For 40 years, IA has been carrying out and monitoring concrete development programs in remote rural areas of six African countries and Haiti.
Since 2007, in Sierra Leone, Inter Aide has been implementing agriculture, WASH and health (discontinued) programs. To promote agricultural development, IA introduces and diffuses technical innovations to the farmers and supports local farmer organizations to develop structuring services to their fellow members (agricultural loans and input purchase). To foster access to safe water IA has a large scope of intervention that includes hygiene and sanitation, building and rehabilitation of wells, promotion of household water treatment and an ambitious program of repairs and maintenance of hand pumps. IA interventions in Sierra Leone are detailed on our website (http://www.interaide.org).
In 2020, Inter Aide is present in 4 different districts of Northern Sierra Leone (Karene, Bombali, Tonkolili and Port Loko) and operates from 3 different bases (Kamakwie, Makenia and Port Loko). IA team in Sierra Leone counts nearly 100 people including 3 expatriates. Until recently, Project Managers were assuming all tasks related to the implementation of their respective projects but the increase of activities and the recent geographical extension of both agricultural and access to safe water programs required the creation of a Support Department gathering logistic and administration. This Support Department is gradually assuming responsibilities that were so far assigned to project teams. New procedures, new communication canals, new tools, news documentation are put in place. The Logistic Coordinator supports the Head of Support Department to improve the efficacy, the efficiency and the quality of the work of the 3 logistic teams.
