 Operational environmentAs of June 2024, more than 2 million people have been displaced across the country. From January to December 2023, at least 700,000 people were newly displaced, including secondary displacement (N.B. this is not the official figure of the government). The country remains one of the fastest-growing displacement crises in the world, with Mozambique and Ukraine. An estimated 6.3 million people – one in every four people in Burkina Faso – need humanitarian assistance in 2024. Security incidents and other restrictions have made it difficult or impossible for humanitarian actors to reach several locations, primarily in the Sahel, Centre-Nord, Est, Nord and Boucle du Mouhoun regions. Armed conflicts have exacerbated chronic vulnerability to climatic variance (drought, flooding), leaving around 2,7 million people severely food insecure (IPC 3+) in the current lean season (June – Sept 2024). The need for humanitarian coordination is also growing rapidly; the OCHA Burkina office, established in 2019, has also expanded in the past years and requires capacity reinforcement. Brief surge need Humanitarian operation in Burkina Faso is highly political and complex. As of June 2024, there are at least 39 hard-to-reach areas where an estimated 1.1 million people are cut off from the rest of the country, relying on irregular resupply convoys organized by Burkinabè Defence and Security Forces (FDS), as well as humanitarian air operations which are extremely expensive. The imposition of military escort on most of the key axes in conflict-affected areas, as well as strict counter-terrorism measures of the host government (zero tolerance for engagement with armed groups), remains a principal access challenge for the humanitarian community. Adhering to humanitarian principles, the HCT has a position of non-use of armed escorts for humanitarian vehicles. Instead, the current practice is to contract private transporters (without any visibility of humanitarian actors) that join resupply convoys escorted by the FDS. However, in the past months, due to the increase in the number of human rights violations associated with the escorted resupply convoys, the HCT members (including donors) expressed serious concerns about the current modality of transportation of humanitarian supplies. One of the biggest donors has already announced in the HCT that if no measure is taken, they will suspend the use of resupply convoys to transport humanitarian assistance. If suspended, this significantly affects the current humanitarian operation, especially, food assistance. In this regard, an urgent scale-up of the capacity of the Access/CMCoord Unit of OCHA Burkina Faso office is necessary to provide strategic guidance/advice to the HCT and operationalize proposed solutions to ensure delivery of humanitarian supply to hard-to-reach areas.  OCHA's role and key challenges OCHA's role in Burkina Faso is to support the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and ensure coordination of principled humanitarian response, delivered by more than 150 UN and NGO partners in a highly political context, through advocacy, situational awareness and information management, etc.  Main tasks and duties to be executed Negotiate access and protection issues with civilian and military authorities at national and sub-national levels.Provide qualitative and quantitative analysis on humanitarian access and draft reports/advocacy notes for both strategic and operational purposes.Provide strategic and operational advice to the HCT on humanitarian access/CM Coord issues, in particular, the question of humanitarian convoys.Reinforce the functionality of the Access Working Group in collaboration with various partners and actors in the field; in particular, the analysis of access severity of different axes and hard-to-reach areas. Reinforce CMCoord platforms at national and sub-national levels. • Ensure communication and engagement with government interlocutors (e.g. Ministry of Defense) and national militariesEnsure the linkages of the functions of humanitarian access and CMCoord while maintaining the distinction between the two.  Expected outcome of the deployment Negotiation with civilian and military authorities at the national and sub-national levels is reinforced to improve humanitarian access and protection of civiliansQualitative and quantitative analysis on humanitarian access, as well as related reports/advocacy notes are provided for both strategic and operational purposesStrategic and operational advice is provided to the HCT on humanitarian access/CM Coord issues, in particular, the question of humanitarian convoys The functionality of the Access Working Group is reinforced; in particular, the analysis of access severity of different axesCMCoord platforms at national and sub-national levels are reinforced. • Communication and engagement with government interlocutors (e.g. Ministry of Defense) and national militaries are ensuredThe linkage between the questions of humanitarian access and CM Coord is ensured while maintaining the distinction between the two.  Specific required skillsFluency in French and EnglishKnowledge of institutional mandates, policies and guidelines on humanitarian assistance, humanitarian access and CMCoordExcellent writing, analytical and communications skills.Proficiency in data analysis and report creationAbility to work in a stressful working environment and meet tight deadlines. Managerial experience of a unit/team is desirableExperience in humanitarian affairs/humanitarian coordination at sub-national/sub-office level is desirableExperience or strong knowledge of Sahel region is desirable  SWISS NATIONALITY OR SWISS WORK PERMIT (TYPE B)  REQUIRED Duty Station: Around 80% in Ouagadougou and 20 % in the field if necessary RR cycle: 8 weeks and the destination is Accra, Ghana. Timeframe: asap for 12 months  Thank you to send your application asap (email) to: Odete Mauron (odette.mauron@eda.admin.ch),  058 464 89 85 Published: 2.9.24/MZI

PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT SUMMARYMercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. The agency pursues its mission through emergency relief services, sustainable community development, civil society and economic development initiatives. Mercy Corps has been present in the Middle East since the 1980s and currently has offices in Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Libya. Working in Lebanon since 1993, Mercy Corps has implemented community development programs focused on promoting economic development and increased opportunity for disadvantaged communities, while responding to emergencies as they emerged in the country.  In 2012, the program portfolio shifted in response to the massive refugee influx from Syria.  Mercy Corps recognizes the disproportionate impact of the crisis on economic and market development in Lebanon, as well as associated tensions by the host community towards the refugees related to employment. Mercy Corps prioritized economic and market development at the core of FY16 targets as part of its wider strategy focused on good governance, conflict management, protection, and water and sanitation infrastructure. Mercy Corps anticipates launching several new economic and market development programs to enable vulnerable individuals and key market actors to build productive lives.  GENERAL POSITION SUMMARYMercy Corps' Sudan crisis response seeks to meet the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Sudanese and other conflict-affected people across the country. Mercy Corps Sudan is recognized as a leader in market systems, agricultural, and food security and building on this experience, the MC Sudan humanitarian program will layer in resilience and other program activities where appropriate and feasible to do so. Assistance is delivered with a focus on needs, in partnership with local actors and civil society. The Cash Consortium of Sudan (CCS) is a collaborative platform to advance a progressive vision of the potential of cash assistance to transform humanitarian response and recovery in partnership with vulnerableconflict-affected populations. CCS is led by Mercy Corps, building on its global experience and learning on leading cash consortia in multiple country contexts, as well as general expertise in cash coordination and breadth of technical resources. International partners include Acted, CARE, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), each of which bring strong cash and complementary technical competencies, as well as expansive operational coverage in Sudan. The CCS also includes nine Sudanese NGOs as partners in alignment with global aid sector commitments to enhance the prominence of local actors in driving humanitarian response and recovery. IMPACT is a non-implementing partner dedicated to Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning. IMPACT will support quality data systems and an objective evidence base that will be essential to CCS' accountability and adaptive management to refine programming approaches to enhance impact as the Sudan crisis context evolves. The CCS will work closely with other consortia and actors in Sudan to deliver an effective CVA response for communities affected by the crisis. The core pillars of the CCS response include: 1) basic needs through cash assistance both at the community level through Group Cash Transfers (GCTs) delivered to Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), as well as at the household-level through Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA); 2) strengthening market systems to ensure resilience of key market actors and supply chains as well as strengthening the availability and affordability of key commodities; 3) strengthening capacity of local partner organizations with an emphasis on accompaniment and mentorship; and 4) generation of learning and evidence to inform broader response efforts.   ESSENTIAL JOB RESPONSIBILITIES Strategic Direction, Portfolio Quality and GrowthLead in the development of a Market strengthening strategy for the CCS;Lead integrated sector design processes in order to converge MPCA and economic and market strengthening programming to deliver maximum joint impact, and integrate market-related activities into the design of other sector programs; Develop rigorous assessment processes for understanding market strengthening needs;Contribute to organizational strategic planning and new program development for appropriate expansion and growth of CCS' MPCA and market Strengthening portfolio;Recognize opportunities for innovative action and explore implementation possibilities with the CCS.Maintain strong and transparent communication with consortium technical focal points. Technical and Operational ManagementEstablish humanitarian sector and private sector platforms (Chamber of Commerce, trader associations or similar bodies).Coordinate the sharing of program plans and outcomes between humanitarian and development actors within the CCS and eventually overall humanitarian sectorAssess supply chain resilience and implement recommended actions for key actors within the supply chain and systemIdentify service providers that play a key role in supply chain capacity and recovery and identify actions to improve their capacity to provide services and scale up.Develop a variety of market strengthening activities to be used by CCS partnersAssist partners as needed in tackling and solving MPCA related bottlenecks and implementation delays.Identify opportunities to introduce efficiencies and eliminate redundancies in existing processes for streamlined sector operations;Identify key hub marketplaces close to vulnerable food insecure populations and to develop market strengthening programming Representation and AdvocacyParticipate in the Cash working group, and other working groups related to market strengthening.Liaise with key stakeholders to coordinate responses and identify strategies to facilitate market-based interventions with programmatic synergies;Develop and implement advocacy strategies to influence policy and practice shifts for economic and market development informed by evidence generated by the programs;Liaise with Regional Economic and Market Development Advisor and global Technical Support Unit to identify strategies to strengthen programming and to promote Mercy Corps' thought leadership role on economic and market development in Lebanon and across the region;Ensure regular attendance in technical working group and task force meetings;Represent Mercy Corps in strategic meetings on economic and market development;Ensure Code of Conduct, Child Safeguarding Protocols, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Policy, Gender Policy and Community Accountability Response Mechanism (CARM) guidelines and applied to programming;
