Organization: Handicap International
Country: Lebanon

Handicap International is an independent and impartial international aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, our action and testimony are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights.

Handicap International is a not-for-profit organisation with no religious or political affiliation. It operates as a federation made up of a network of associations that provide it with human and financial resources, manage its projects and implement its actions and social mission.

Through its Emergency Response Department (ERD), created in 2006 after the merge with Atlas Logistics, the organization is committed to:? Provide an adequate response to major natural disaster and conflict situations, anywhere in the world as much as possible within 72 hours; ? Provide assistance to vulnerable groups (refugees, IDPs, persons with injuries, elders, children, etc.) affected by a crisis and maximize the number of beneficiaries. Within vulnerable groups, target especially PwD and meet their specific needs; ? Constantly monitor chronic crises and/or conflicts to ensure preparedness for and rapid response to eventual emerging needs.

Directly linked to the Emergency Response Department of Handicap International France, the expatriate will be mandated for the following mission:

1. Context and backgroundThe Syrian uprising began on March, 15th 2011 with public demonstrations as part of the wider Arab Spring and developed into a nationwide uprising and a civil war in 2012. Protesters have demanded the end to nearly five decades of Ba’ath Party rule, as well as the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. In the spring of 2011, the Syrian government deployed the Syrian Army to quell the uprising. Several cities have been besieged, and soldiers were reportedly ordered to open fire on civilians. Civilians and army defectors began forming fighting units and unified under the banner of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), fighting in an increasingly organized fashion; however, the civilian component of the armed opposition lacks an organized leadership. The Syrian government characterizes the insurgency as armed terrorist groups and foreign fighters bent on destabilizing the country.

Two years and a half after the start of the crisis, the death toll has reached more than 100,000 people with nowadays 5,000 people dying every month in Syria . According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 6 million Syrians fled their homes to seek refuge in other parts of the country and in neighboring countries . Among them, 1,8 million are refugees in neighboring countries while 4,25 million are internal displaced persons (IDPs) . In total, over 6.8 million people are affected by the crisis within Syria .

The skyrocketing needs in the country are until now largely uncovered. The United Nations (UN) agencies and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) that are legally authorized to work in Syria recently admitted that they could not properly cover their mandate . In many regions, the Syrian Civil Society Organizations (SCSOs) are the only reliable humanitarian actors. Therefore HI decided to focus on supporting those actors and created a Remote Cell dedicated to partners’ identification, capacity-building, and operational, technical and financial support of the partners’ operations.
