Organization: Norwegian Refugee Council
Country: Yemen
Closing date: 06 Feb 2014

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a non-governmental, humanitarian organization with 60 years of experience in helping to create a safer and more dignified life for refugees and internally displaced people. NRC advocates for the rights of displaced populations and offers assistance within the shelter, education, emergency food security, legal assistance, and water,sanitation and hygiene sectors.

The Norwegian Refugee Council has approximately 3500 committed and competent employees involved in projects across four continents. In addition, NRC runs one of the world’s largest standby rosters -NORCAP, with 650 professionals, ready to be deployed on 72 hours notice when a crisis occurs NRC has closely monitored the situation of displaced in Yemen and initiated its intervention in Yemen in late 2009. Two initial assessments were conducted in December 2009 and February/March 2010. The assessments indicated a need for NRC programmes and the humanitarian space to implement them. NRC therefore submitted a registration application to the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) on 24 February 2010 and in January 2012 NRC signed a MOU with the Government of Yemen (GoY) allowing NRC to start providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and IDPs in the country. The MoU reflects the very good working relationship NRC has established with GoY. In the first half of 2012 NRC established presence in Sanaa and conducted further programme assessments.

Already in May 2012 NRC distributed NFI kits to IDPs in Aden. This rapid response has further improved NRC’s relations with GoY, in particular regional authorities as well as the Aden IDP Committee. At present NRC is implementing, through local partners, transitional shelters, WASH, education, Food Security and Livelihoods along with distribution of NFI. NRC has a geographical coverage of three governorates in the south; Aden, Abyan and Lahj, where there is a high presence of IDPs, returnees and refugees, with an office in Aden. In the northern governorates, NRC’s presence is in Hajja Governorate where the IDPs fleeing the conflict in Sa’ada and Al Jawaf Governorates have sought refuge. A satellite office has been set up at Haradh.

NRC works closely with the Government, UN, NGOs and target groups directly involving them in planning and implementation process. Recruitment of national staff is ongoing as per the recently approved organizational structure. A country strategy for 2013-2014 and a plan of action for 2014 has also been developed.

The WASH Project Manager (WASH PM) is responsible for the overall planning and implementation of the NRC WASH Projects in Yemen in close collaboration with the Shelter, Education and Food Security and Livelihoods project Managers. The WASH PM shall work under the guidance of the Program Director to fulfil the objectives of the NRC as stated in the Programme Principles, the Country Strategy, Project Proposals and budget.

Organization: International Medical Corps
Country: Yemen
Closing date: 14 Feb 2014

International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs.

Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, International Medical Corps rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.

JOB SUMMARY

Seconded to the Nutrition Cluster, The IMC Nutrition Assessment Manager (NAM) will provide field based technical support, countrywide, for the completion of nutritional assessments (primarily SQUEAC and SMART). Where necessary, the NAM will lead on the implementation of surveys.

Background and Justification:

Yemen is amongst the countries with the highest level of child malnutrition. In 2013 an estimated 1 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition and a little over a quarter of these are severe acute malnourished. IMC, UNICEF and nutrition cluster partners have been responding to emergency levels of child malnutrition for the last three years. CMAM programmes have thus been scaled up in recent years. By the middle of 2013 a total of 1141 OTP (Outpatient Therapeutic Program) and 544 SFP (Supplementary Feeding Program) had become operational.

To inform the decision making in planning and designing of live saving and long term nutrition programs in the country several nutrition assessments have been carried out. However there still exists a dearth of up to date information on the current situation of acute malnutrition in most of the country. In addition, the effectiveness and efficiency of the already established CMAM program has not been particularly effectively examined - only a couple of CMAM coverage evaluations (using SQUEAC methodology) had been carried out in the last year.

Although there have been improvements in capacity of Ministry of Public Health and Population (MOPHP) and cluster partners to undertake timely and good quality nutrition assessments, there is still a gap in having an experienced and senior level technical expert that can provide guidance and oversight to governorate level assessment coordinators.

Thus the overall the purpose of this assignment is to enhance the MOPHP capacity in assessment, and technically support MOPHP and nutrition cluster partners to carry out SMART nutrition surveys and SQUEAC coverage assessments in high priority areas of Yemen.

Specific Tasks:

1. In consultation with the Nutrition cluster Assessment Technical Working Group and MOPHP nutrition department develop a nutrition assessment decision making framework for Yemen.
2. Review and update the SMART nutrition survey tools which have been in use in the last surveys so that they are adaptable to various contexts in Yemen.
3. Provide support for the planning, coordination and implementation of SMART nutrition surveys in priority governorates.
4. Train MOPHP and Nutrition cluster partners on SMART Nutrition survey and SQUEAC Coverage Assessment methodologies.
5. In coordination with MOPHP nutrition department establish a roster of personnel to make up a Nutrition Rapid Assessment Team at national level, and work with the government to ensure assignment of focal persons in governorates.
6. Support Cluster information management officers in creating repository of reports and datasets of past Nutrition Assessments.
7. By closely working with WFP /VAM Unit, and WHO strengthen timely compilation and dissemination of Food security and nutrition surveillance information.
8. Support design, implementation, and completion of SQUEAC coverage assessment in in Hajja, Hodeida and other governorates as required.

At the end of 2012 and based on the identification of previously uncovered needs, ACTED expanded its implementation area to two districts of Hodeidah Governorate. ACTED now aims at further expanding its humanitarian assistance by opening two additional bases: one in Taiz and one in Aden. The latter will notably serve as a base for future assessments and programming focused on conflict affected populations in southern Yemen.

ACTED has been working in the sectors of Agriculture & Food Security (e.g. distribution of crop seeds, and livestock), Economic Recovery and Market Systems (e.g. income-generating activities such as cash for work), and WASH (e.g. rehabilitation of water supply facilities, hygiene promotion). ACTED’s food security activities include distribution of food vouchers, which are rapidly becoming the key component to the future of ACTED’s interventions in the country.

Through its active involvement in coordination mechanisms, ACTED has been a lead agency in the provision of humanitarian assistance in the three governorates in which it operates. The organisation is for instance the WASH Cluster focal point for Ibb Governorate.

Programme Quality ManagerYemen

Oxfam GB's work in Yemen is along a spectrum that includes direct humanitarian intervention, long-term development work and national and international advocacy & campaigns. We seek to integrate these components into a 'one programme approach' to maximise benefits for poor and marginalised people in Yemen. It is envisaged that this post will build programme teams’ capacities in, and lead a unit that is responsible for ensuring effective Programme Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning systems, programme alignment with organisational quality and accountability standards, development and maintenance of effective partnerships across all programmes.

The roleReporting to the Head of Development Programmes, you will contribute to the development of long-term vision and strategic planning to achieve significant impact for the poor, especially for vulnerable women and men. That means taking leadership of a broad spectrum of internal actions that focus on ensuring that programmes and projects are technically sound in terms of their design and that their implementation is in adherence to Oxfam’s programme quality standards. Through effective programme monitoring and evaluation you will support teams and partners to develop a culture of high quality work across all programmes and projects. Not only that, you will also initiate and lead research and information gathering and analysis with the prime aim of contributing to programme development. In addition to building and maintaining effective relationships that facilitate shared programme processes, you will also take a leading role in the management of all programme consultancy contracts, as well as support staff in the programme quality unit.

What we’re looking forWhilst first-hand experience of implementing or advising on international development projects in the Middle East would be desirable, we’re looking for someone who combines a passion for and experience of improving effectiveness of development programmes with practical experience of mainstreaming gender in development or humanitarian work. Previous experience of gathering, analysing and presenting quantitative and qualitative data is essential, as is a sound understanding of project cycle management in international development. With good organisational skills and the ability to plan your workload, you’re a creative yet practical thinker, with the tenacity and the ability to work well under pressure. You also possess effective communication skills and a proven ability to inspire colleagues.

About OxfamA simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. And it’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. At Oxfam we believe that with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.
