JOB DESCRIPTION
Background/Context
The humanitarian context in the cross-border area between Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger continues to deteriorate. The deteriorating security situation led some thousands of people from the Sahel, North, North Central, and East regions to flee to neighbouring towns. In addition, the presence of non-state armed groups and improvised explosive devices made roads inaccessible and hampered activities. The violence is having a serious impact on fragile livelihoods and people's ability to support themselves and is challenging already weak basic social services. More and more people are fleeing their homes in search of safety in nearby fields or villages, sometimes repeatedly. 2,6 Million people are internally displaced in Burkina Faso (UNHCR dashboard on May 2023). In Burkina Faso, the Sahel and Centre-Nord regions are the most affected and have the largest number of displaced people even though the displacement tendencies are worsening also in the East and Boucle de Mohun Region. The large-scale displacement has a strong impact on already scarce natural resources, with negative consequences for both the displaced population and host communities, increasing the risk of undermining social cohesion and population protection. In Burkina Faso, humanitarian access to populations in need and access to basic social services remains a major problem. We are witnessing a shrinking humanitarian space in the areas where humanitarian activities are concentrated.
Shelter and Settlements: NRC is currently focused on expanding its Shelter portfolio in Burkina Faso. In addition to offering temporary shelters equipped with emergency Non-Food Item (NFI) kits, lighting and alternative cooking solutions, for newly displaced families; NRC is expanding its transitional shelter response, its innovative market-based programming and cash response modalities. Additionally, NRC shelter team builds temporary, transitional, and permanent classrooms in close coordination with the NRC education team.
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene: WASH interventions are seamlessly integrated with other Core Competencies to maximize impact and efficiency. NRC provides comprehensive WASH assistance, addressing access to water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion. Water access is facilitated through the construction of boreholes with human-powered pumps, small drinking water supply systems (PEA or AEPS), conversion of hand pump-equipped boreholes into small drinking water supply NRC is also working to strengthen direct solar pumping system as an alternative to prolonged water trucking if needed to besieged areas.
