Cooperazione Internazionale (COOPI) is an
Italian humanitarian non-governmental organization founded in Milan in
1965. COOPI aims to help the world’s poorest to improve their access to
healthcare, food, and financial security, and to overcome their special
vulnerability to wars, civil conflicts and natural disasters.
Job Title: Humanitarian Response Advisor
Context:
In May 2013, the Government of Nigeria (GON) declared a State of
Emergency (SOE) in the north-eastern (NE) states of Yobe, Borno, and
Adamawa in response to Boko Haram insurgency. As a result of the
insurgency and counter-insurgency operations in the affected states, an
estimated 2 million people were displaced and are living with host
families or in camps (official and unofficial). Borno state is the
epicentre of the conflict and is currently home for the biggest IDP
population in Nigeria with over 1.4 million IDPs.
Over the last few weeks, the humanitarian situation in Borno has
deteriorated significantly. The re-opening of Local Government Areas
(LGAs) which were previously inaccessible has led to new IDP locations
in the state, while ongoing conflict has resulted in the influx of more
IDPs into Maiduguri metropolis and establishment of satellite camps in
the state.. Emerging reports from newly accessible areas in Borno state
illustrate urgent nutrition and food security needs in particular, in
addition to WASH, shelter and health. The situation has led the Federal
government of Nigeria to announce a food security and nutrition
emergency in Borno state and the international humanitarian and donor
community is expected to employ additional resources to support the
national and state government in their response to the crisis.
COOPI in Nigeria
COOPI started its operations in North-East Nigeria in July 2014 to
carry out a rapid evaluation of the most relevant constraints suffered
by the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) displaced by the food crisis
and the Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin.
The COOPI Nigeria Field Office is located in Potiskum, Yobe State, in
order to cover five LGAs in Yobe State and to provide direct assistance
to the IDPs and their hosting communities, through a multi-sectorial
programme covering Food Security, Nutrition and Child Protection
interventions. COOPI’s capacity to respond to the humanitarian situation
in the country is confirmed by its experience in providing humanitarian
aid in more than 24 other Countries around the World, in over 50 years
of operations.
Scope of the Consultancy
