The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global humanitarian aid, relief and development nongovernmental organization. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers emergency aid and long-term assistance to refugees and those displaced by war, persecution or natural disaster. The IRC is currently working in over 40 countries and 22 U...
BACKGROUND:
IRC entered Nigeria in October 2012 in response to a widespread flood disaster. IRC’s Emergency Response Team, with local partner CISCOPE (Civil Society Coalition for Poverty Eradication), implemented a project to support livelihoods and improve WASH in Kogi State from February to May 2013. This was followed by a 3-month nutrition and food security program in the same location from October 2013 to January 2014. Beginning of January, IRC shifted geographical location to the North East, in Adamawa state to provide humanitarian response to the conflict-affected populations. Currently, IRC has two operational offices in Adamawa state with one based in the state capital of Yola providing emergency response to internally displaced populations hosted in IDP camps, camp like settings and host communities and the second based in Mubi town and providing humanitarian support to returnee populations and IDPs from conflict stricken neighbouring states.
The IRC is finalizing prospects to expand humanitarian interventions to the neighbouring state of Borno that hosts the largest number of IDPs in the North East region: IRC aims to operationalize an office in the new site in the last quarter of 2015.
A multi-sectoral approach is being employed through the implementation of sectors: Health and Nutrition; Environmental Health; Child Protection; Education; Women’s Protection; Food Security and Protection. These programs are driven in partnership with strategic local NGOs: Center for Women and Adolescent Empowerment; Goggoji Zumunchi Development Initiative and Caring Center for Empowerment and Peace Initiative.
Scope of Work:
The Environmental Health (EH) Coordinator is responsible for the strategy development, program design, and technical support to ensure quality implementation, standardization, monitoring and evaluation of all activities in the WASH sector. The EH Coordinator will strengthen sector activities and provide technical oversight of the program across all sites of implementation in the North East of Nigeria. S/he will focus on emergency response capability, with the ability to respond to a fluid programming context, and deliver key services rapidly and effectively.
The EH Coordinator reports to the Senior Program Coordinator (SPC) and is based in Adamawa state, Nigeria.
