This will include representation of the organisation, mission and its values with external stakeholders during an emergency response Work contextIn Afghanistan, based in Kabul As a politically fragmented, natural disaster-prone nation, Afghanistan has long faced levels of chronic insecurity, internal displacement, and widespread poverty that has subjected its populations to ongoing hardships and recurring humanitarian crises. Communities remain food insecure for a range of reasons, from the cumulative impacts of multiple droughts, erratic climate shocks and seasonal flooding, a lack of infrastructure and limited access to markets, problems that are especially acute among vulnerable populations in remote regions. As a result, Afghanistan ranks poorly on basic human development indicators, with millions dependent on external humanitarian assistance for their daily survival and an estimated four million refugees living abroad in Pakistan and Iran. Although education and health have improved in urban areas, rural populations remain largely vulnerable to maternal and perinatal mortality and infant mortality and diseases, malnutrition being a major concern. Presentation of the mission: In 2017, ACF implemented several integrated project in Nutrition and Health, WASH, FSL and MHCP responding to the needs of the most vulnerable in Helmand, Ghor and Kabul. Moreover, ACF extended its ERM approach into more provinces such as Helmand, Ghor, Daykundi, Nimroz and Bamyan. 1,973 IDPs increased their access to sanitation and hygiene through latrines and hygiene kits, and 21,724 IDPs benefitted from multi-purpose cash distribution. Moreover, through this project, ACF Afghanistan organized a well-received photography exhibition in Kabul and Brussels, to raise awareness about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Through its Nutrition Surveillance department, ACF implemented with its partners 12 assessments (SMART, SQUEAC and RNA) across Afghanistan addressing current humanitarian data gaps and ensuring informed strategic programming decisions. The security context overall is volatile. Expats who do not have previous experience working in harsh contexts should have a solid understanding of the security issues they will face in Afghanistan and/or previous travel experience in volatile contexts before consideration. Stress management skills/awareness would be essential for any recruit coming to Afghanistan mission. You will join a team of 400 national staffs and 15 expatriates with coordination office located in Kabul and two other bases in Helmand and Ghor. ACF in Afghanistan must respond within a fluid context that requires the mobilisation of the Emergency Response Team in response to natural disasters and movements of people displaced by the ongoing conflict. This includes often working in a challenging security context and at times, challenging work relationship with local authorities and Armed groups. |
