LOGISTICS PROJECT MANAGER
Location: Monguno
Desired Start Date: 15/03/2017 - Under funding confirmation
Duration of the Mission: 6 months
ABOUT THE MISSION
SI
has been operating in Borno State since July 2016, and is strongly
focusing on the massive life-saving needs of the conflict-affected
populations, through a 3-legged strategy:
Multisectorial early recovery interventions in secured Areas:
Implemented
at neighborhood level in order to take into consideration the
environmental context, risk factors, availability of resources and
resilience capacities at a community level. This holistic approach
entails a vulnerability-tailored assistance combined with a capacity
building component.
Acting on Water to fight Against Malnutrition:
SI
with its partner, a medical NGO, is doing its best to reduce
malnutrition rates, especially of under-5-year children, alongside host
communities and displaced people. To do so, SI equips nutrition and
healthcare centers with water treatment and sanitation systems. In
parallel, in host communities in both cities and in the camp in which
40,000 displaced people are living, within the walls of an old school in
the city of Monguno, our teams are renovating water points, building
toilets and working on water treatment solutions.
Reducing Food Insecurity:
In
Maiduguri and especially Muna Garaje, SI is implementing cash
distribution programmes with vouchers (particularly for families with
acute-malnourished children) to permit food access to the most
vulnerable populations. SI aims to reduce significant food insecurity in
the area. The other important line is that our team is acting on the
stabilisation and safeguarding of livelihoods, to empower populations
and decrease their dependence on food assistance, and furthermore, to
reduce food insecurity.
An emergency multisectoral assessment capacity in Remote Areas:
RRM-inspired,
and taking into consideration Borno State-related security and access
situation, this axis would allow the provision of concrete,
response-sizing oriented data to the humanitarian community, in strong
coordination with mapping and coordination actors (OCHA, IOM database,
Intersos interactive mapping database).
Rapid Response mechanism in IDPs camp-like settings outside Maiduguri:
Subsequently
to the assessment axis, SI is aiming at covering the basic needs of
displaced and non-displaced populations pockets in Borno most affected
LGAs, in completion of ICRC’s current one-shot coverage. In this
perspective, SI is going tomade available a warehouse in Monguno for
humanitarian actors working in Borno state in order to support their
intervention in Monguno and areas around Monguno.
