Haiti: Shelter Delegate

$
0
0
Organization: Netherlands Red Cross
Country: Haiti
Closing date: 31 Dec 2017

We help to reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience by responding to disasters and crises and by supporting community and institutional risk reduction and preparedness. In the Netherlands with more than thirty thousand volunteers and internationally with the aid of specialists or by sending relief supplies or money. Together we act before, during and after disasters to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people.

We do this without regards to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinion. Our seven principles guide our humanitarian work: humanity, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.

The International Assistance Department is looking for a Shelter Delegate who will be based in Les

Cayes, Haiti with frequent travels to Cotes de Fer and the other project sites.

Position title: Shelter Delegate

Duty station: Les Cayes, Haiti

Time period: 12 months, 40 hrs/wk

Starting Date: 1 February 2018

Status: Single posting

Place in the organisation

The Shelter Delegate is a member of the Netherlands Red Cross Haiti delegation and reports to the Country Representative who is based in Port au Prince. The Shelter Delegate will manage two teams of international and national staff working in two geographic locations (Sud Department and Sud-Est).

Purpose of the position

The Shelter Delegate, will work in collaboration with Haitian Red Cross, other Movement partners, local staff and local authorities and the affected communities within the mandate of the Movement in order to ensure efficient and effective design, management and implementation of the new shelter programming in Les Cayes. The Shelter Delegate will also ensure adequate operational capacity of current resilience programs for the target communities in Sud and Sud-Est Haiti. The aim of NLRC is to build longer term Resilience programming in Haiti.

About the projects

On October 4th 2016, the passage of Hurricane Mathieu in Haiti provoked the largest humanitarian crisis since the 2010 earthquake. Along the Hurricane’s path, 90% of the houses have had their rooftops, structures and walls blown away. Approximately 525 000 people, were in need for shelters & Non-Food Items. Field evaluations conducted by NLRC personnel identified additional needs in food security, water and sanitation. The NLRC emergency response directly contributed in tackling the acute risks related to poor access to water and sanitation. According to IOM, one year after the Hurricane, more than 26 000 houses are still in critical conditions (http://haiti.iom.int/photo-interpretation). Moreover, the close link between water cycle management/DRR and livelihoods in the region is confirmed by the chronic erosion to which the area was already exposed, which was aggravated by Matthew destruction of trees and agriculture. To achieve longer lasting impact it is thus crucial to participate in strengthening the overall community resilience strategies.

NLRC will implement a shelter programming as of 2018 and the project will be implemented in a community where the NLRC is already rehabilitating 3 GFWS (Gravity Fed Water Systems) Nan Bibi, Marin-Jeanne, Calice which will improve access to quality water. Moreover the NLRC is mobilizing additional resources in order to further develop its resilience approach in this community to protecting, improving and diversifying livelihoods, and enhancing local DRR capacity. Ideally, the NLRC together with the HRC will implement as well measures to mitigate soil erosion. An Environmental Impact Assessment will be carried out to select relevant areas. This will be done in consultation with the local authorities and the Ministry of Environment. The measures to mitigate soil erosion are physical structures: so called check dams and contour bund in combination with tree and grass planting. This activity was successfully implemented in our past project in the Sud-est Department. The Ministry of Environment is supportive of this approach and has regularly done their own assessments on this in which they concluded the relevance of this approach. This project focuses on improving local capacities and techniques.

NLRC has been implementing a number of Community Resilience projects in Haiti over the last years. NLRC and Haitian Red Cross (HRC) were already partners before the 2010 earthquake. In the partnership Resilience Programming has been the key orientation. From 2014, Resilience projects have been implemented in the Department of Sud- Est. NLRC is wrapping up two larger Resilience projects in Grand Gosier, Cotes de Fer and Bainet. The projects are funded by DG ECHO, other Red Cross societies and the Prinses Margriet Fonds. Project activities are focused on enhancing different elements that influence community resilience.

Since May 2017 a new Resilience project started in Cotes de Fer, Sud-Est with an overall objective is to increase the resilience of vulnerable people in the two above mentioned departments by protecting, improving and diversifying livelihoods, improving access to water and enhancing local DRR capacity. The Shelter Delegate is the project manager for this project. UNICEF has been funding additional WASH activities in the area. The recovery activities are on-going and the Shelter Delegate will be in charge of the management for this project as well. In the future the NLRC wants to include the target communes in the Resilience programming.

0
Organization: Soutien Belge Overseas
Country: Lebanon
Closing date: 31 Dec 2017

Period:

2-4 months

Starting date:

1st January 2018 (applications are open throughout 2018 with programmes starting every two months)

Programme Description:

SB Overseas is looking for enthusiastic and capable volunteers to teach English and help run two of our schools and women’s training centres in Lebanon, both of which were established to serve refugees: one in Saida (in the south-west), and another in Beirut (in the west).

The refugee children in our schools need this remedial education in order to have a chance of passing entry tests for the Lebanese public education system. Without access to public education, they risk missing out on an education permanently, and becoming a “lost generation”.

The women who go to our centres, meanwhile, find themselves in particularly vulnerable situations inside the refugee camps, and need the training and support provided by our teams to empower them with the promise of a brighter future.

Role/Duties:

The core activity in this role is providing English lessons to our women and children. Other duties will include running weekend activities for the children, day care, and potentially some other tasks, such as administrative work.

Skills/Experience:

No specific skills or experience are considered essential, although some experience teaching or working with children in some other capacity is desirable.

The single most important quality we look for in candidates is that they are motivated to help others. As with all teaching roles, the ideal candidate will be adaptable and have a positive and resilient attitude, capable of bringing energy, patience, persistence and creativity to the role.

NOTE: We also run a programme that allows volunteers to teach on a part-time basis while partaking in intensive Arabic lessons for between two and eight months. See our website for more details.
