Job opportunity: Health and nutrition programme manager

Location: BUEA, CAMEROUN

DURÉE : 4 MOIS
DATE DE DÉBUT : DÈS QUE POSSIBLE

VOTRE ENVIRONNEMENT DE TRAVAIL

Action Against Hunger has been present in Cameroon since 1998. Since 2014, our interventions are mainly in the Eastern Region and the Far North of the country on emergency programs initiated with Central African refugees and affected host communities by socio-political unrest in CAR and violence related to Boko Haram activity in the Lake Chad region. ACF has set up long-term nutrition and water, sanitation and hygiene programs with the support of ECHO and SIDA for more than 150,000 beneficiaries. Since the end of 2018, ACF, under the name of Action Against Hunger (AAH), is also present in the South-West, in support of the crisis that rages in this region.

Our 2020 strategy is based on responding to immediate humanitarian needs and contributing to economic recovery and strengthening resilience and social cohesion in Cameroon.

There are 140 employees on the mission, spread over 5 bases: Batouri in the East, Maroua and Kousseri in the Far North, Buéa in the South West and coordination in Yaounde.

Cameroon is a fairly stable country. However, Buéa remains an area of great vigilance with the presence of Boko Haram fractions on the border with Nigeria, even if the INGOs are not directly targetted. The security context remains unstable with frequent lockdowns.

The size of the team is relatively low (2 mobile clinics turning in the field, with around 20 staffs overall).

VOTRE POSTE ET VOS RESPONSABILITÉS

You will be in charge of ensuring the direct implementation of the Nutrition & Health Programmes, through 2 mobile clinics, as part of the emergency response to the populations affected by the crisis in the south-western region of Cameroon. Furthermore, you will also be supporting the COVID 19 Response in that area of intervention.

More specifically, your responsabilities will be to:
  • Ensure the application of ACF standards in the implementation and monitoring of the mobile clinical programmes
  • Build the capacities of the program teams on ACF standards in the nutrition & health protocols and guidelines
  • Strengthen and improve the logistical and financial management of programs
  • Accelerate the implementation and capitalisation of the medical care components for both the sexually abused survivors and the community-based epidemiological surveillance
  • Participate in the assessments related to the accesses of the most affected populations
VOTRE PROFIL
  • You hold a degree in nutrition & health, public health, nursing, or general medicine, with at least two years of professional experience in a similar programme management role in an emergency context.
  • Furthermore, you have a confirmed experience in managing, capacity building and transfer of knowledge to the teams.
  • You have an excellent knowledge of the english language and strong analytical, synthesis and writing skills.
  • A former ACF experience, an understanding of the Cameroun context, a good knowledge of the community health & nutrition approaches, and some notions of the french language will be considered as an asset for this position.
