Support Services Coordinator - Nigeria

Switzerland, Vaud , Lausanne

Position Start Date: 16.06.2024Type of contract: CDMDuration: 12 monthsLocation: Maiduguri, NigeriaStatus: Unaccompanied Terre des hommes does not set closing date for this position. Recruitment is on-going until the position is filled Tdh:Terre des hommes (Tdh), founded in 1960, is an independent, neutral and impartial Swiss organisation committed to bringing meaningful and lasting change to the lives of children and youth, especially to those most exposed to risks. To make a difference, we focus on the areas of maternal and child health, children and youth migration, and access to justice. Context:Nigeria is a multicultural country with great disparities between the southern regions of the country, which had experienced and still experiences growth and development and the northern regions, seriously affected after 13 years of violent insurgency, leading to massive humanitarian needs for millions of people and provoking terrible socio-economic inequalities in the region for an important part of the population. In the northeast, especially in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY states), the conflict stemming from the insurgency of non-state armed groups (NSAGs) in continues as intensely as ever. The attacks and insecurity have displaced millions of people, devastated agricultural production and other livelihoods, cut off essential services, and caused a crisis of protection. In 2022, some 8.4 million people of the BAY states will need humanitarian aid. Of these, 2.2 million are internally displaced; 1.5 million are returnees who lack essential services and livelihoods; and 3.9 million are members of communities affected by their hosting of IDPs. About 730 000 people are located in areas inaccessible to international humanitarian actors. Although some retain or have developed a degree of coping mechanisms, most rely at least in part on humanitarian aid.Tdh has first been established in Abeokuta, in 2008, and implemented development programmes, such as Migration programs. Activities in the South of Nigeria have been closed in 2019. In order to respond to the Lake Chad Basin Crisis, Tdh has established a country office since mid-2017, in Maiduguri, Borno State. Tdh contributes to the crisis' response by providing child protection services, education in emergencies, wash and nutrition assistance to most vulnerable children and their families.Moreover, in the line of its expertise and programing positioning at the worldwide level, Tdh also analyzes the situation, as well as the potential response to the crisis on a mid-term basis, regarding the early recovery and nexus approach. Indeed, given its core competencies in term of deployment of a response for primary needs, implementation of development projects, support to the public services and community/social approach of the beneficiaries, Tdh thinks that the organization could have an added value on all the dynamics/programs related to the stabilization or the structuration in other regions of Nigeria. In terms of Support:The Support Services Unit is located in Maiduguri, as the rest of the country coordination.Each sector of the unit (HR, Fin, Log and HoB) is supervised by the Support Services Coordinator.

Programme Coordinator - Afghanistan

Afghanistan, Kabul , Kabul

Position Start Date :  01.05.2024Duration : 12 months with possible extensionLocation : Kabul, AfghanistanStatus : Unaccompanied Terre des hommes does not set closing dates for this position; recruitment is on-going until the position is filled. Candidates are nevertheless encouraged to apply as early as possible. Tdh :Terre des hommes Foundation (Tdh), with headquarters in Lausanne and an office in Zurich, is the leading Swiss organisation for child rights. In 2022, we supported 2.6 million children and members of their communities around the world. We trained people who in turn supported a further 4.5 million children and members of their communities. Context :Terre des hommes (Tdh) has been working in Afghanistan since 1995. In 2023, Tdh provided humanitarian assistance and protection to very vulnerable children and families who often did not have at all access to basic services in 4 provinces: Nangarhar, Herat, Kandahar and Kabul. In Afghanistan, Tdh's work focuses on two main components: general health centered around maternal and child health and child protection. Since August 2021 and the regain of power by the Taliban, Tdh has also integrated a multi-purpose cash component, sub-grants and vocational training  to meet the basic needs of the population. Indeed, due to the economic crisis generated by this political unrest, combined with international sanctions and constant natural disasters, the entire public system has collapsed. Today, the population depends almost exclusively on humanitarian aid - which is diminishing - to meet its basic needs as well as to access health and education services. It is estimated that, out of a population of over 42 million people, 29.2 million are in need of humanitarian aid. As families struggle to make ends meet, children and women suffer directly from the consequences of the deteriorating overall humanitarian situation. Negative coping mechanisms include the reduction of expenditure considered non-essential, such as maternal, newborn and child health care (MNCH), and/or the involvement of children in harmful practices to contribute to household expenditure, in particular child labour for boys and early marriage for girls. As well as facing a dramatic political, economic and human and women rights context, while humanitarian space continues to shrink, Afghanistan is also having to cope with a steady increase in the number of internally displaced persons and returnees. A humanitarian disaster is currently unfolding on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, as undocumented Afghans are being sent back from Pakistan. It is estimated that this current situation will develop into a protracted humanitarian crisis that Afghanistan will have to face in the coming months and year. Responsibilities :·       Under the supervision of the Head of Delegation, he/she ensures the roll-out of the program strategy in his/her field of expertise at the national level as aligned with the delegation strategy and plan of action, and as such he/she is the guarantor of the national impact of Terre des hommes in his/her field of expertise.·       He/She is in charge of developing, improving and consolidating, and improving the implementation of programming across the country.·       He/She is in charge of overseeing specialized program coordinators and ensuring quality control and sound financial management.·       He/She coordinates the development of new proposals with a focus on the technical approach and staffing structure and contributes to securing the required resources (financial and human) in the delegation with the support services involved.·       He/She contributes to the coordination with existing donors and the development of partnerships with new donors.·       He/She contributes to steering the program by implementing and following up indicators, especially concerning the cross-cutting themes of his/her field.·       He/She develops and fosters innovation in the program in the country.·       He/She supports the implementation of the insurance system and quality control for the projects of the program in the country.·       He/She coordinates closely with counterparts in the regional office and at HQ to discuss innovations, partnership, and the sharing of knowledge of his/her program in the country.·       He/She is in charge of running and developing the program's strategic partnerships in the Delegation.·       He/She is responsible for and accountable to beneficiaries, collaborators and donors.·       He/She ensures close coordination with the Support Service Coordinator, the Safety & Security Manager and the Grants & Reporting Manager to ensure the smooth implementation of programming and address issues as they arise in a timely manner.·       He/She ensures that teams and partners have learned the security policies and the general code of conduct and comply with them at all times. The full job description will be shared with the candidates selected to start the recruitment process. Profile : Education :Master's degree in management, social science, international development, humanitarian assistance and/or other relevant field. Experience & Competencies :·     Minimum 10 years of progressively responsible experience in program management, design developing and leading integrated and complex program portfolios – preferably experience in Afghanistan or similar context.·     Proven experience in both humanitarian and/or conflict affected countries settings.·     At least 5 years' experience in people management with proven leadership experience in managing multi-disciplinary teams of diverse cultural backgrounds, fostering a positive working environment, and manage issues sensitively and diplomatically.·     Experience in project development and management;
