Description | Do you want to join NRC’s newly established NRC country programme – Burkina Faso and Niger, as our new Area Manager?
We are looking for a motivated and committed colleague to join our team in Burkina Faso/Niger and take on the dynamic, strategic and programmatic key role as Area Manager (AM) for Area Office in Kaya, Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso/Niger is in a start-up phase and will be managed by one Country Director (CD). You will report to the CD and be part of the country management group. You will be required to travel frequently to Ouagadougou for coordination with the country support office. The CD will be based in Ouagadougou, but will travel to Niamey regularly, at which time you or another member of the country management group (Head of Programme) may be required to provide CD cover. An unprecedented humanitarian emergency is unfolding in Burkina Faso where armed violence and insecurity have triggered massive population displacement and worsened the living conditions of some of the country’s most vulnerable communities. The escalation of conflict has brought Burkina Faso to be the country most affected by the upsurge of violence in 2019, with over 123,000 people displaced from January 2019 and a total of 170,000 from the beginning of the crisis. NRC conducted a scoping mission in May 2019 and is setting up a Country Office since July 2019. Duties and responsibilities
