The International Rescue Committee is an NGO that serves refugee and
communities victimized by oppression and violent conflict worldwide.
Since October 2012, the IRC has been responding to humanitarian needs of
Nigerians.
The IRC initially intervened in response to floods that
affected over 7 million people across the country, destroying harvest
and damaging homes. The IRC is currently implementing programs in
Health, Child Protection, WASH, Nutrition and Women's Protection and
Empowerment (WPE) in Adamawa and Borno States in North-Eastern Nigeria.
The IRC's WPE program implements prevention and response activities
to address gender-based violence and give voice to women and girls.
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a serious human rights and public health
issue affecting women and girls around the world. It impacts all aspects
of women and girl's physical, emotional, psychological and social
well-being. It has harmful consequences for the individuals who
experience it, their families, and communities as a whole.
The IRCs Women Protection and Empowerment Program is starting up
emergency WPE mobile programming in coordination with the Reproductive
Health team. The focus of this program is to provide quality rapid case
management, psychosocial response services, and basic reproductive
health services to conflict-affected women and girls in Borno,
North-Eastern Nigeria in a timely manner. In addition to the mobile
program, the WPE mobile team will be in charge of rapid assessments and
rapid response. The WPE mobile teams will be focused in newly opened
LGAs and emergency areas previously inaccessible due to conflict and
insecurity. The WPE team is providing life-saving services to
populations outside of Maiduguri, who have not had access to services in
approximately 3 years.
JOB POSITION: WPE Senior Manager
SCOPE OF WORK
The WPE Senior Manager will be the lead for IRC's innovative WPE
mobile response, with an integrated reproductive health component, in
Borno State in LGAs outside Maiduguri. With technical support from the
WPE program coordinator, the WPE Senior Manager will be responsible for
leading implementation of a mobile WPE Program in Konduga, Monguno, and
newly accessible LGAs in Borno State and ensuring that quality services
are provided. In addition the WPE Senior Manager will develop and lead
assessments that will be coupled with a rapid response mechanism to
ensure women and girls have access to life-saving services from the
beginning of an LGA becoming accessible. S/he will provide technical
oversight to prevention and response staff in the area of protection and
empowerment of women and girls (and the effects of the conflict on
women and girls in general), with an emphasis on coaching staff to build
their capacity, preparing a team for rapid responses, training on WPE
and RH rapid assessments, training on WPE rapid responses, advocating
for improved services for women and girls, and setting-up quality mobile
response to reach women and girls in conflict affected areas.
Depending on security, the WPE Senior Manager will be managing the at
least three WPE mobile teams remotely. Due to the unpredictability in
Borno State, the Senior Manager will expected to make quick, sound
judgement on where the mobile team needs to implement. The Senior
Manager will be expected to stay abreast of security issues and how it
will impact the mobile team and the beneficiaries they aim to reach.
This position will be expected to travel between Maiduguri and Monguno where WPE teams are being established.
