Rural Livelihoods Consultant

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:44:01 GMT

Start date -  30 November 2009
End date-    25th December 2009
Salary -       To be comfirmed

Tajikistan is the poorest of the former Soviet Republics. The economy has deteriorated dramatically since the end of Soviet rule - and made worse by civil war during the 1990s and extended periods of drought. The Khatlon region is home to some of the poorest and most vulnerable people who live at a subsistence level. At Oxfam we're working with them, so that they can produce more food, and be better protected when threatened by natural disaster.

The role
In this two-fold challenge that focuses on 20 villages in the Khatlon Region, you'll first evaluate the impact of our work so far: the appropriateness of the technologies and methodologies we've used to roll the project out; the sustainability of community-based organisations that have been set up; the extent to which gender equality has been incorporated into programme activities. From there, you'll make recommendations to improve both our approach to partnership and capacity building and the data we use to evaluate our programmes. Day to day, this will involve developing questionnaires, carrying out field visits and conducting interviews, then creating evaluation reports based on your findings.

Coordonnateur/trice Politiques et Plaidoyer (Oxfam GB) Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo. 21,990GBP- 28,821GBP par an + d'autres avantages attrayants. Durée indéterminée

On a dit des déplacements massifs de population et des violences qui continuent à l'encontre des civils à l'Est de la République Démocratique du Congo qu'il s'agit d'une « crise oubliée ». Au-delà de sa mission de répondre aux besoins humanitaires, Oxfam veille à ce que le monde ne puisse pas oublier ce qui se passe, en travaillant avec des partenaires congolais pour faire entendre les voix des personnes directement affectées au niveau des décideurs les plus haut placés. Dans sa campagne mondiale pour promouvoir les droits à la protection et à l'assistance en temps de crise, Oxfam a accordée la priorité à la RDC. En même temps nous regardons vers l'avenir, avec une nouvelle initiative prévue pour répercuter les enseignements tirés de nos interventions directes dans les efforts du gouvernement pour élaborer des politiques visant à améliorer l'accès aux services essentiels tels que l'eau, l'assainissement et l'éducation. Nous avons besoin d'un candidat exceptionnel pour mener et coordonner notre travail de politique et de plaidoyer.

Le rôle
Travaillant étroitement avec des équipes de programme d'Oxfam GB et les autres membres du groupe pays de la campagne « Rights in Crisis » d'Oxfam international, vous dirigerez l'équipe de plaidoyer et de communication dans le développement et la mise en ouvre de la prochaine étape de la stratégie globale de plaidoyer d'Oxfam en République Démocratique du Congo. Bien sûr, vous veillerez à ce que cette stratégie reflète et se fonde sur toute la gamme des interventions d'Oxfam International en matière d'aide humanitaire et au développement à travers le pays. Cela demandera une analyse continue des évolutions de la situation politique et humanitaire comme base d'ajustements périodiques de notre appréciation, de nos messages de plaidoyer et de notre plan d'action. Cela impliquera également la gestion d'une initiative innovatrice sur l'élaboration d'une politique nationale d'eau et assainissement en milieu rural, ainsi qu'une collaboration avec l'équipe chargée du programme d'éducation pour rassembler nos expériences programme dans une stratégie de plaidoyer globale en faveur de l'accès aux services essentiels. En tant que « policy lead » pour la RDC, vous vous appuierez sur les importantes ressources internationales d'Oxfam en matière de campagnes, médias et lobbying, que vous coordonnerez pour répondre à la crise humanitaire, en assurant la cohérence de ces actions avec le cadre global des acquis et priorités de la campagne « Rights in Crisis ».

Ce que nous recherchons
Pour réussir dans ce rôle, vous devrez vous appuyer sur des connaissances approfondies en matière de plaidoyer et de politique dans un contexte de conflit semblable. Une large expérience autant des interventions humanitaires que de l'aide au développement vous aura doté d'une grande appréciation du lien qui existe entre les deux. Une capacité hors du commun en matière de collecte et d'analyse des informations vous sera indispensable. Pour faire bouger les choses, il vous faudra également une grande capacité de réflexion stratégique et de négociation. Vous devrez être un gestionnaire et un chef d'équipe transparent et efficace. D'un point de vue pratique, vous devez être à l'aise en anglais et en français. Puis vu la portée de ce rôle, vous devrez vous préparer à voyager beaucoup, surtout à l'intérieur de la RDC.

Ce rôle offre des opportunités immenses de développement personnel et professionnel. Si vous pensez être le candidat recherché, postulez par l'intermédiaire de notre site web, citant la référence : INT 3464
