This present position is particularly for young professionals in Disaster Risk Reduction with little or no experience abroad, who meet the below mentioned requirements for this position and are interested in joining the SHA. He or she will have the opportunity to acquire international experience in the field of humanitarian aid and development cooperation during a first deployment under the supervision of an experienced SHA member in the SDC office in New Delhi, India.   Background South Asia is one of the most affected regions by climate change and natural disasters: India, Bangladesh and Nepal are highly exposed to climate risks. After South East Asia, South Asia bears the highest number of deaths due to natural hazards. The effects of climate change led to more intense and frequent disasters and new hazards (e.g., glacial lake outburst floods). Switzerland is committed to take action, particularly through SDC's engagement in climate change (CC) and disaster risk reduction (DRR). The Swiss International Cooperation Strategy 2025-28 cites climate change (including DRR) as one of the four thematic priorities. Furthermore, in the case of a disaster event beyond countries' capacities, Switzerland may provide humanitarian assistance (under the humanitarian aid operations of the SDC), named 'rapid response' (RR). SDC has four regional advisors on DRR and (humanitarian) rapid response located in South East Asia, Latin America / Caribbean, Central Asia and South Asia. New Delhi was chosen as regional reference for CDE aspects since SDC India is one of SDC's champions regarding investments in climate change projects through technical assistance for piloting and institutionalization of climate change adaptation, mitigation, environment and DRR in urban and rural contexts. India is a reference country in the region when it comes to policy dialogue, pioneering and upscaling of results e.g., through international initiatives (e.g., CDRI, ISA). Since SDC's restructuration process (F4P) in 2022, the topics of climate change, DRR and environment (CDE) have been merged under the 'Section CDE' (Thematic Cooperation Division). The position of junior regional programme officer focuses on the topics of DRR, climate change adaptation (CCA) and RR. DRR aspects are either an integrated part of other Swiss engagements (Swiss Embassies, SDC's thematic or bilateral programmes) often in combination with considerations of climate change and environment (CDE mainstreaming) as well as for specific DRR (risk management, prevention, risk transfer, preparedness etc.) and adaptation projects. With a thematic focus on DRR/CCA and RR, the regional programme officer shall enhance thematic knowledge, foster exchanges and support SDC and Swiss Embassy teams in the region. Furthermore, the regional regional programme officer shall support the Swiss teams in the region and head office in case of a disaster or crisis event, through liaison with key stakeholders in the concerned country for a swift assessment of the situation and the evaluation of a potential Swiss rapid response. The countries within the geographic coverage are: India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives. In India, many SDC projects focus on the topics of CDE and are part of the engagement of the Thematic Cooperation; they work in urban as well as rural areas. Bangladesh and Nepal have integrated aspects of CDE as important crosscutting topics in their country cooperation programmes and defined specific CDE indicators (including DRR and CCA aspects). While the SDC will phase out its bilateral cooperation in Bangladesh until 2028, the topic of DRR and CCA will remain relevant for the region. The regional scope also includes Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, where Switzerland, despite the absence of bilateral programmes, maintains a diplomatic presence and engages in disaster risk reduction dialogue. The SDC Regional Hub in Bangkok currently provides thematic support to Bangladesh and Nepal on the topics of climate change mitigation and environment as well as thematic advice on water and food systems. Depending on the thematic needs of the representations named above, it will be necessary to ensure alignment and coordination with the SDC Regional Hub in Bangkok to ensure effective and efficient thematic support.       Scope of Assignment The overall goal of the position is to enhance Switzerland's capability to respond to the regional strategic, thematic and institutional needs with regards to DRR, CCA and RR.   - SDC India programme (50%): Assume responsibilities within existing and new initiatives. Contribute to DRR-related policy dialogue in India.

Context In the aftermath of the October 2025 ceasefire in Gaza, humanitarian access has improved, enabling the movement of people and the delivery of critical supplies. However, sanitation access remains severely compromised due to prolonged conflict, displacement, and supply chain disruptions. As a result, 57% of the population is exposed to sewage or fecal matter within 10 meters of their homes, posing serious health and environmental risks. Only about half of all households have access to basic sanitation, meaning they have private, improved facilities that safely separate human waste from contact. The rest rely on shared, inadequate, or unsafe options, increasing health risks and undermining dignity. The risk of waterborne disease outbreaks, particularly cholera, is high, as confirmed by a joint WHO-MOH assessment, led in October 2025. The WASH Cluster partners must urgently scale up the sanitation and public health emergency (PHE) response based upon common, strategic and realistic cluster response plans. This surge position will provide strategic leadership and technical coordination to address immediate needs and support planning in collaboration with national authorities and WASH and Health humanitarian partners for relevant cluster response plans.   Surge need justification The current situation in Gaza necessitates urgent reinforcement of WASH capacity due to rapidly evolving conditions following the recent ceasefire. The movement of people and the entry of humanitarian supplies have resumed, creating both opportunities and challenges for public health and sanitation. Sanitation systems have been severely undermined due to prolonged shortages of essential supplies, including sanitation units and sewage items. The resumption of movement has increased pressure on already fragile infrastructure, particularly in displacement sites and host communities. A recent cholera risk assessment conducted jointly by WHO and the Ministry of Health has highlighted a significant threat of outbreak. The findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced WASH interventions to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases, particularly in high-risk areas. Given the scale and urgency of the response required, current WASH Cluster staffing and resources are insufficient to meet the operational demands. A surge position is therefore critical to: •      Coordinate WASH Partners to scale up sanitation activities •      Coordinate interagency efforts and ensure alignment with health sector responses. •      Support the distribution and monitoring of incoming supplies. •      Strengthen disease surveillance and community engagement around hygiene promotion. This surge support will be instrumental in mitigating public health risks and ensuring a timely, coordinated response in the post-ceasefire phase.   Strategic Objectives of the Deployment ·       Strengthen strategic planning and coordination for sanitation and outbreak preparedness and response in Gaza strip, ensuring alignment with public health priorities and national systems. ·       Lead the development of a contextualized sanitation strategy for households, including decentralized solutions and procurement planning. ·       Enhance outbreak preparedness and response capacity through integrated WASH-Health coordination mechanisms. ·       Facilitate evidence-based decision-making through assessments, partner mapping, and gap analysis. ·       Support localization and sustainability by working closely with the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) and other national stakeholders.   Key Deliverables 1.   Household Sanitation Strategy: Develop with working group members relevant sanitation designs and procurement plans tailored to displaced and host populations. 2.   Decentralized Sanitation Roadmap: Co-develop a strategic roadmap with PWA for decentralized sanitation systems. 3.   Sanitation Working Group Leadership: Co-lead the working group with Oxfam and UNICEF; convene bi-monthly coordination meetings. 4.   Public Health Emergency Coordination Strengthen WASH-Health Cluster collaboration for outbreak preparedness and response and ensure readiness and deployment of WASH teams in case of disease outbreaks. 5.   IPC and WASH in Public Health Emergency Leadership: Co-lead the working group with Health cluster, UNICEF and WHO; convene bi-monthly coordination meetings. 6.   Joint Assessments and Strategic Inputs: Conduct and Participate in interagency assessments and contribute to strategic planning and reporting on sanitation and public health matters.   Application of the Six Core Functions of Cluster Coordination 1.   Supporting Service Delivery •      Facilitate partner collaboration in developing strategic plans, update the Gaza Cluster partners during the preparation processes. Ensure the promotion of the strategies and capacity development of partners as required. •      Facilitate partner coordination and ensure timely delivery of sanitation services and supplies. •      Lead operational planning for sanitation scale-up in accessible areas. 2.   Informing Strategic Decision-Making •      Use assessment data and partner inputs to guide prioritization and resource allocation. •      Provide technical advice on sanitation risks and mitigation strategies. 3.   Planning and Strategy Development •      Lead the development of sanitation strategies and roadmaps in coordination with national authorities. •      Align WASH interventions with health sector outbreak preparedness plans. 4.   Advocacy •      Advocate for sanitation needs in inter-cluster forums and donor briefings. •      Highlight gaps and risks to mobilize resources and policy support. 5.   Monitoring and Reporting •      Support the update of 4Ws, SitReps, and dashboards to reflect sanitation activities and gaps. •      Track progress against strategic objectives and report on key indicators. 6.   Preparedness and Contingency Planning •      Develop contingency plans for cholera and other disease outbreaks. •      Ensure coordination mechanisms are in place for rapid response.   Ways of Working The coordinator will be embedded within the WASH Cluster team, which includes: •      Two WASH Cluster Coordinators (national and international) •      One Information Management Officer •      Assessment and Monitoring Staff   The role will work collaboratively with WHO, MOH, PWA, CMWU and other WASH partners.
