PUI recruits 01 Rehabilitation, Infrastructure and WASH Coordinator, based in Erbil
Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilians’ victims of marginalization and exclusion, or hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapses, by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The association leads in average 200 projects per year in the following sectors of intervention: food security, health, nutrition, construction and rehabilitation of infrastructures, water, sanitation, hygiene and economic recovery. PUI is providing assistance to around 7 million people in 21 countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe and France. Find out about our history and values Humanitarian situation and needs: Iraq is characterized by multifaceted crises, with the political crisis resulting in a prolonged and bloody conflict with ethno-sectarian divisions which has significantly damaged the socio-economic fabric of the country and created one of the most severe, large-scale humanitarian emergencies in the world. Since 2014, the armed conflict in Iraq has generated massive internal displacement from densely populated areas and major cities of Anbar, Ninewa and Salah Al Din amongst other governorates, interrupted access to basic services across the country, and put a severe strain on host communities. As a result, in 2018, over 8 million people remain in need of humanitarian assistance including an estimated 2.6 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and 3.2 million Returnees, alongside approximately 250,000 Syrian refugees currently hosted in Iraq. with the acute phase of the current armed conflict drawing to a close, national and international focus will shift towards Early Recovery, Resilience, and Development. However, Iraq is perhaps best characterised as an acute Protection crisis, with the impact of armed conflict on civilians being enormous. As a single example, the battle for Mosul displaced over 1 million people and resulted in untold numbers of civilian casualties. Displacement is likely to be protracted, though also affected by forced returns to unsafe areas for political purposes. Healthcare including Mental Health, WASH, Shelter and Livelihoods will continue to be enormous needs for the population of Iraq. As of December 2017, 247,057 Syrian refugees, or 97% of all Syrian refugees in Iraq, reside in the norther Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). In addition, the situation in KRI has been worsened by the combination of fallen oil prices, the large-scale national IDP crisis, and sanctions imposed by the Government of Iraq (GoI) following referendum on Kurdish independence. This economic deterioration combined with the stress placed on KRI basic services by overwhelming IDP and refugee populations has impacted Syrian refugees’ ability to attain and maintain self-reliance. 63% of this population live outside of camps, with little access to essential services and remain therefore highly vulnerable. Ostracization and discrimination further compound the situation. Our actions in the field: PUI’s presence in Iraq since 1983 has spanned the sectors of Health, WASH, Protection, Education, Shelter, Food Security and Livelihoods, through an integrated approach in both urban and rural areas. Since 2009, the approach in Baghdad has been to improve access to water and sanitation, agricultural activities and livelihoods, improving social cohesion by also considering host population needs. With UNHCR, PUI has worked on improving living conditions of urban households implementing community quick impact projects and creating job opportunities (training centres and Professional Tool Kits). In Najaf, PUI currently conducts Health interventions for IDPs living along the Najaf-Karbala pilgrimage route. In depth assessments of this community have been conducted and PUI seeks to address some of the key problems found in Protection, Livelihoods and community cohesion, building on PUI’s experience in Baghdad through BPRM and UNHCR funded livelihoods and agricultural projects, with strong expertise having been built in vulnerability scoring and selection of beneficiary households. In November 2013, PUI began providing health and WASH services in two Syrian refugee camps in northern Iraq. In August 2014, PUI launched an emergency Health, WASH and NFI response to the IDP crisis in Dohuk, both in and outside of camps. PUI is working in IDP camps across the country as well as implementing health responses for non-camp populations of IDPs (mobile health teams) and refugees (outreach and educational services). PUI scaled up its response to the massive displacements caused by large-scale military operations in Ninewa and Anbar governorates especially in 2016 and 2017. Programming now spans Health with both mobile and fixed support in the form of primary healthcare centres, maternal, child, and reproductive health, and nutrition services. PUI seeks to integrate Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) activities with its own Health interventions, whilst also implementing stand-alone MHPSS programming in Mosul city and elsewhere. Furthermore, WASH, Shelter, and infrastructure rehabilitation and revitalisation activities have been incorporated in areas devastated by armed conflict. The Country Strategy for 2018 includes the following:
