Latest Vacancies at iMMAP Nigeria

Location: Maiduguri, Borno

Status: National Employee

Background

• Over the last 13 years, insecurity in northeast Nigeria has led to the loss of more than 20,000 lives and the displacement of over two million people.
  The humanitarian needs of people in the region have increased significantly in 2021.
  The number of people in need of humanitarian assistance increased from 7.9 million people in 2020 to 8.7 million people at the beginning of 2021.
  However, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating these needs, giving rise to an estimated 10.6 million people now in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, including specific actions within the COVID-19 response.
  With support from the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, iMMAP continues to support the humanitarian sectors responding to the crisis in northeast Nigeria, by seconding and deploying standby personnel to the Sector Lead Agencies since November 2016.
  The support includes building the information management capacity of the partners through training. Since March 2021, with the collaboration of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), iMMAP started the Humanitarian Information and Analysis Unit (HIAU) to support the collective initiatives and intersectoral information management demands and requests.
