Job ID:<\/strong> 83019 About Self Help Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Self Help Africa is an international development organisation that works through agriculture and agri-enterprise development to end hunger and extreme poverty. The organisation has programmes in 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and implements projects in Brazil and Bangladesh. In early 2023, we launched a new five-year organisation strategy, which defines shared mission as the alleviation of hunger, poverty, social inequality and the impact of climate change through community-led, market-based and enterprise-focused approaches so that people can have access to nutritious food, clean water, decent employment and incomes, while sustaining natural resources. SHA has been re-registered by the Ethiopian Charities and Societies Agency as a Foreign Charity with a registration number of 0051.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our three core values are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result of the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies in Ethiopia and around the world, the organisation is increasing its capacity to support programmes in both sudden-onset and chronic emergency situations. SHA is securing funding under the EHF, which will cover primarily the Amhara region, in the Wollo cluster areas and beyond. The SHA development programmes have also been impacted by climate events, conflict, and intercommunal violence, compounded by outbreaks. In order to address such a humanitarian situation through a humanitarian-development nexus approach, the organisation is aiming to build its humanitarian staffing capacity. SHA-Ethiopia is currently seeking to recruit a Humanitarian Programme Coordinator, who will be primarily responsible for the organisation and implementation of the multi-sector humanitarian operation in the Amhara region, as well as country-wide. He\/She will be responsible to represent and attend coordination meetings in the region and Addis Ababa as deemed necessary. Our approach integrates emergency and development work through the Humanitarian Development Nexus approach. Self Help Africa implemented a dozen development and humanitarian projects with local and international partners across Ethiopia. At the core of our work is increasing farm production, supporting new enterprise and developing market opportunities for farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Job Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Humanitarian Programme Coordinator will be based in Dessie\/Haik and frequently deployed to the field as the overall humanitarian response lead for the SHA humanitarian portfolio, particularly the Amhara region. The HPC will be responsible for making sure that the overall humanitarian work within SHA is implemented in a timely and quality manner in line with the humanitarian standard operating procedures and mandate. The post-holder will ensure that humanitarian programmes delivered are to the appropriate scale, scope, quality and accountability expected of Self-Help Africa. The HPC will be reporting to the Head of Programme and working closely with the Country Director, and Heads of Finance and Admin, as well as other key departments, such as Advisors, HR, Finance, Safety and Security, Procurement and Logistics, as well as the implementing field team particularly with the Cluster Coordinator. The HPC is responsible for identifying needs and resources and elaborating programmatic, operational and leadership recommendations for the emergency responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The HPC will also be expected to play a role and work in collaboration with, SHA Regional Office in Bahir Dar and the Dessie office. The HPC will ensure the implementation of SHA\u2019s emergency operation, plans, sectoral and multi-sectoral assessments (often with the UN and other NGOs), humanitarian programme and project design and implementation in all humanitarian sectors: JIMMI (Joint Market Monitoring Initiative), MIRA (Multi-Indicator Rapid Assessment), Health and Nutrition, Protection, and Food Security and Livelihoods. WASH, ES\/NFI, gender and resilience activities and programmatic considerations must be integrated throughout our programming.
