Responsable (h/f) de l'Unité de Mise en œuvre du Projet (PIU), action directe dans le cadre du Programme Bekaa Water Management, Zahle, Liban   Contexte Le déclenchement du conflit en Syrie en 2011 a entraîné l'une des pires crises humanitaires de ces derniers temps. Des millions de personnes ont été déplacées de force pour trouver refuge, à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de la Syrie. Les réfugiés syriens au Liban représentent plus d'un million de personnes. L'hospitalité exceptionnelle des Libanais a été mise à rude épreuve, en particulier dans la vallée de la Bekaa, qui couvre 42% du territoire libanais et compte près d'un million d'habitants, dont environ la moitié sont des réfugiés syriens, des réfugiés palestiniens de Syrie et des rapatriés libanais de Syrie. Le déplacement, conséquence du conflit armé en Syrie, a accentué les défis déjà existants en matière de gestion de l'eau au Liban. Il a poussé jusqu'à ses limites les infrastructures de services fragiles et faibles. Avec pour conséquences néfastes sur l'accès sûr à l'eau potable, la qualité de l'eau et la disponibilité saisonnière de la gestion de l'eau et des eaux usées. Cette situation a été aggravée par l'escalade des hostilités entre le Hezbollah et Israël à l'automne 2024, avec des dommages importants aux infrastructures hydrauliques du Sud-Liban, et par la chute du régime Assad en Syrie en décembre 2024, qui a amené un nouveau groupe de réfugiés au Liban, dont certains ont trouvé un logement temporaire dans la Bekaa Nord.     Principes fondamentaux du programme d'action directe Bekaa Water Management   Le Bekaa Water Establishment (BWE), une antenne régionale du ministère de l'Énergie et de l'Eau, gère l'approvisionnement en eau de la vallée de la Bekaa et de la majeure partie du territoire libanais le long de la frontière syrienne. Il a pour mission de fournir des services d'approvisionnement en eau et d'assainissement à une population d'environ un million de personnes grâce à l'exploitation et à l'entretien des infrastructures existantes. Il est également chargé de toutes les tâches liées à la qualité et à la quantité de l'eau. La Suisse soutient le BWE depuis 2016 dans le cadre de l'action directe « Gestion résiliente, durable et sensible aux conflits de l'eau dans la vallée de la Bekaa ».   Ce programme est une activité implémentée directement par l'Aide humanitaire suisse sous l'égide de l'ambassade de Suisse au Liban, avec une unité de mise en œuvre du projet (PIU) à Zahlé, la capitale de la vallée de la Bekaa. Une évaluation à mi-parcours a été réalisée en 2021, à la suite de laquelle le programme a été ajusté afin de tenir compte de l'évolution du contexte et des priorités. Le PIU compte cinq employés. Le chef de projet rend compte directement au chef du Bureau de coopération suisse (SCO) à l'ambassade de Suisse et est soutenu par le chargé de projet national (NPO) de la DDC pour le secteur de l'eau, basé à l'ambassade à Beyrouth.   Le nouvel impact attendu du projet de gestion de l'eau dans la Bekaa (phase 3) est le suivant :   ·       La santé et le bien-être de la population, en particulier des personnes les plus vulnérables de la vallée de la Bekaa, se sont améliorés grâce à un accès continu aux services essentiels liés à l'eau.         L'intervention se concentre sur deux résultats complémentaires :   ·       La population bénéficie d'un meilleur accès aux services WASH essentiels grâce à un soutien aux infrastructures, à une gestion fondée sur des données probantes et aux opérations commerciales essentielles liées aux ressources en eau. ·       Une meilleure coopération en matière de gestion intégrée de l'eau, aux niveaux social et institutionnel, atténue les conflits liés à l'eau et la fragmentation du secteur de l'eau.   Avec l'escalade des hostilités en septembre 2024, l'action directe a été complétée par la livraison d'un important lot de matériel d'urgence pour l'approvisionnement en eau. Le personnel de la Beka Water Establishement et de la South Lebanon Water Establishment a été formé par deux experts de SKH à l'utilisation correcte de ce matériel, qui se poursuivra au moins jusqu'en 2025.     Actuellement, la direction de l'équipe est assurée en intérim par le chef de projet adjoint à Zahle et la Cheffe de la coopération à Beyrouth.     Mandat   Sous la supervision directe de la Cheffe de la coopération à Beyrouth et avec le soutien de l'équipe expérimentée de la PIU à Zahle, le/la titulaire du poste est chargé(e) du pilotage et de la direction générale de l'unité conformément au calendrier établi. Cela comprend principalement les tâches suivantes :   -  Direction stratégique, opérationnelle et financière du bureau et du projet, en particulier le respect du calendrier. Cela comprend également les aspects logistiques et sécuritaires. -  Préparation des réunions de travail hebdomadaires (par Skype ou en personne) entre l'unité de mise en œuvre de projet à Zahle et l'ambassade à Beyrouth. -  Supervision de toutes les attributions de contrats et de mandats dans le cadre de l'action directe. -  Encadrement prudent et compétent du personnel, notamment dans le contexte du conflit armé de 2024, qui a été particulièrement violent dans certaines parties de la région où l'action directe est mise en œuvre. -  Préparation de l'examen à mi-parcours fin 2025/début 2026 et de l'audit du projet, qui serviront de base à la mise en œuvre de la deuxième partie de la phase 3 et à la préparation de la phase finale 4. -  Rédaction des rapports intermédiaires et finaux sur l'action directe. -  Garantie d'un dialogue approprié avec la directrice et les collaborateurs du Bekaa Water Establishment, les représentants locaux et régionaux des autorités (en concertation avec l'ambassade à Beyrouth) ainsi que les acteurs WASH internationaux et nationaux concernés dans la Bekaa. - Si les compétences et l'expérience requises sont disponibles, prise en charge d'une partie du portefeuille en tant que responsable technique.     Profil et expérience souhaités   - Pour être éligible à ce poste, vous devez être de nationalité suisse ou détenir un permis de travail suisse (permis C). - Les personnes sous contrat pour une mission avec le Corps Suisse d'Aide Humanitaire (CSA) ayant la double nationalité ne sont en principe pas affectés dans les pays dont ils sont ressortissants, pour des raisons liées au devoir de diligence de l'employeur (risques accrus en raison d'autres privilèges et immunités) et afin d'éviter tout conflit d'intérêts et toute partialité potentielle. Cette règle s'applique également aux personnes accompagnantes.     -  Au moins 5 ans d'expérience professionnelle dans la Coopération internationale et l'Aide humanitaire, dans des pays en développement ou en transition, idéalement expérience dans des contextes fragiles. -  Au moins cinq ans d'expérience professionnelle dans une fonction dirigeante et compétences reconnues en matière de leadership et de gestion autonome. -  Formation et expérience dans la gestion de projets. -  Bonnes connaissances et pratique des instruments opérationnels, financiers et administratifs de la DDC / AH, ou disposition à les acquérir rapidement. -  Bonnes connaissances en logistique, gestion administrative, gestion de la sécurité et des risques en contexte fragile. -  Excellentes connaissances du domaine humanitaire, grandes capacités à organisationnelles. -  Compétences communicationnelles et flexibilité, -  Excellentes connaissances de la langue française, maîtrise (active ou passive) d'une seconde langue nationale suisse.   Lieu de mission : Zahle, Liban Durée de la mission : entrée en fonction immédiate pour une durée minimale de 3 mois.

To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions ? her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens ? addressing inequity ? not only will give more children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries.
