Regional Food Security Coordinator Southern Africa (50%) Global Emergency Markets Mapping Assessment Lead (50%)

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:05:41 GMT

Job Title: Regional Food Security Coordinator Southern Africa (50%) Global Emergency Markets Mapping Assessment Lead (50%)

Grade: Global C1

Location: Pretoria, South Africa

Salary: GBP21,990 to GBP28,821

Closing Date: 17 September 2010

Role Purpose:

To develop regional and focal country food security skills and analysis to enable response to and recovery from food security crisis and to prevent, mitigate and prepare for future food security crises.To lead and deliver Oxfam's work in EMMA (Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis) at a institutional, regional and global level in partnership with IRC (International Rescue Committee).

Contextual Setting:

The Southern Africa region continues to be affected by transitory shocks and stresses to food and livelihood security especially in Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia. Frequent natural disasters such as drought, hailstorms, epidemics. and floods as well as unpredictable and manipulated markets exacerbate the situation of people who are already chronically food insecure and vulnerable. Current climate change scenarios also forecast an increased frequency of such natural disasters. Additionally poor essential service coverage translates into minimal mitigation capacity and resilience for communities at risk.
There is a need for governments and others stakeholders to implement effective contingency plans as well as invest in long-term social protection programmes and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Appropriate emergency food security and livelihood responses strengthen the linkages between DRR and preparedness and medium-term social protection programmes essential to transitory crises. Countries for the most part are unable to develop and implement effective contingency plans to address issues of food insecurity due to insufficient capacity. The underlying causes to slow-onset emergencies are often related to complex, markets, intra-country distribution systems and poor governance and services. Vulnerability Assessment conclusions and crop assessments are often not factored into contingency planning processes and therefore situations reach crisis and emergency proportions before they are recognised as such.
There are various initiatives that are currently underway to address these challenges. These include work that is done by both regional as well as country level actors in strengthening coordination and collaboration, information sharing (OCHA/RIACSO), the utilisation of decision -making frameworks through the use of indicators identified by the FAO/IPC project, work undertaken by the R-VAC as well as investments by donor agencies.
Organisations such as Oxfam GB have an increasingly important capacity building and evidence-based advocacy role to promote food security, social protection and DRR in the region to address these issues of chronic food insecurity and vulnerability. Specifically these roles include strengthening coordination and collaboration through networking and participating in relevant discussions, holding stakeholders accountable through evidence based advocacy and using experience and organisational knowledge to strengthen and develop capacities.
Oxfam GB has prioritised EFSL as a key component within its 2010/2011 'Rights in Crisis' priorities and therefore this role is significant in accomplishing outcomes within this area of work. However recent re-structuring and staff transitions have significantly affected the 'decentralised' ability of the Oxfam GB's 'programme to effectively influence and respond to the EFSL agenda and needs in the region and in Zimbabwe. Currently the region has only 2 EFSL capable staff in Malawi (one at a junior level of D1 and the other at C1) and there is no regional EFSL capacity within the Regional Centre. Zimbabwe has recently recruited a C1 level open-ended EFSL team member as part of a longer-term commitment to EFSL in Zimbabwe. These transitions have significantly constrained the ability of the Oxfam GB's programme in the region to engage in relevant discussion and dialogue, design and implement short and medium term EFSL responses, advocate for key issues, strengthen the capabilities of country office programmes, ensure that there is a flow of information to and learning within the organisation as well as inform and influence key stakeholders. There is also a need to maintain Oxfam GB's credibility and legitimacy as a key actor in the area of EFSL programming.
EMMA is an Oxfam, IRC and Practical Action developed and published tool that is used to inform appropriate response decisions in humanitarian responses by assessing market capacity post emergency. Good practice standards, guidelines and evaluations, all emphasize the importance of including markets in emergency situation and response analysis. However, in practice, emergency practitioners have often overlooked the potential and actual role of markets in emergency and early recovery responses. A number of EMMA activities are planned for 2010 - 2011. These include: 8 global EMMA trainings, EMMA website, publications, "ask the Expert" function and awareness raising and institutionalisation across Oxfam and other agencies.
Emergency market analysis that utilizes the EMMA tool have taken place in numerous countries in the emergency setting - for example, Padang earthquake (2009), Haiti (earthquake 2010), and Pakistan (floods 2010). NGO and Donor interest in the tool has been high and is increasing. The momentum in raising awareness of EMMA and its advantages in identifying appropriate programmes that are more market orientated needs to be maintained and taken to a regional level where a number of opportunities exist.

Humanitarian Program Coordinator

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 05:25:44 GMT

Humanitarian Program Manager

Salary: £21990 p.a plus £3,000 hard to work allowance

Nearly three decades of debilitating conflict and insecurity have devastated Afghanistan. This is best illustrated by some of the worst demographic indicators, including very high rate of child and maternal mortality, limited access to basic services like clean water, sanitation and hygiene. Afghanistan, an impoverished nation in conflict, depends on foreign aid development and humanitarian activities. Aid effectiveness is becoming more crucial than ever. Current cycle of drought conditions creating food crisis, raising unemployment, reducing water resources and worsening public health vulnerability. Afghanistan has been hit hard by the impact of global economic down turn and food price rise. Continuation of conditions of drought and lack of livelihood opportunities not only increasing malnutrition and deaths, also hindering achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Oxfam has been involved in Afghanistan since 1962, with an active presence from 1990. Oxfam initially started by supporting partners and from 1990 directly providing emergency relief and development work including WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), agriculture, livelihoods, and advocacy. Oxfam also manages a campaign to end violence against women. In the current complex humanitarian situation and chronic insecurity context, Oxfam has developed National Change strategy and is shifting its programme delivery modus operandi from operational to working with local partners. The programme will focus to works on three inter linking pillars: livelihood, humanitarian and policy advocacy with gender as a cross cutting issue. Oxfam is planning to build up a highly professional team to implement strategic and operational priorities in Afghanistan with focus on humanitarian, livelihood, advocacy & gender. Oxfam is looking for a confident and talented individual to work as the International Humanitarian Programme Manager so that best practices from humanitarian planning and response in other countries can be built into the Afghanistan programme. This is an unaccompanied post with the base station as Kabul, Afghanistan.

£30,840 per annum gross including London weighting

36 hours per week

Get more people more fired up. Find, inspire and support the activists who campaign on our behalf. And, through them, help us fight the poverty and injustice that affects many millions of people right here in the UK.

Be challenged

Oxfam activists do the vital job of spreading our message in the heart of our communities - building up the pressure, and getting the people who make the decisions to do the right thing. We couldn't get the changes we want without them. And they wouldn't do such a great job without you.

You'll make our campaigning at local level more effective by growing and nurturing our network of activists in the area. Not only will you identify and reach new people - and that could involve anything from organising events in local community centres to setting up online groups. You'll also empower both new and existing activists to be more creative and impactful. So whether they're writing to their local paper, lobbying their MP or putting together an influential video, they'll make a bigger difference. It means reinforcing their commitment with support that includes well-thought-through strategies, tailored communications and thorough training. Indeed, it'll be down to you to pinpoint training needs, build links with community trainers, and set up and run local training and networking events.

Be involved

Clearly you'll need to be a motivational character with the confidence to get out and mix with your community, adapt your style to a range of audiences and make your voice heard through all sorts of channels. And whether the challenges you face are straightforward or complex, you'll relish coming up with new ways to tackle them. Back all that up with a good experience in local and regional activism, impressive project management skills and a strong team ethic and you could soon be getting even better results that you already have.

Be Oxfam

A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There's enough wealth in this world to go around. It's not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It's unjustifiable. It's not their problem. It's ours too. And with the right support, we can stop poverty and suffering in their tracks. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we're looking for yours.

Be noticed

Be loud. Be proud. Be at the heart of our success.

The southern Sudan programme is currently implementing Public Health, Livelihoods and Emergency Preparedness Programmes in Upper Nile, Lakes and Western Equatoria states. We are currently looking for a dynamic, experienced and knowledgeable Public Health Engineer to enhance the impact of our work in southern Sudan.

The Role

As the post holder you will have strategic oversight of Oxfam's public health strategy and operations across all Oxfam's areas of operation in southern Sudan. As such, you will be expected to make specific technical and strategic recommendations to the Deputy Country Director, and to closely advise the Programme Managers and teams on implementation. You will help to ensure the public health programme remains dynamic, using scenario planning to anticipate future public health needs and developing new programme approaches to respond to the changing needs of the people in southern Sudan. Furthermore you will be expected to ensure gender mainstreaming is properly addressed through programme assessment, planning and implementation. You will liaise with the Oxfam technical advisors in Nairobi, Oxford to ensure a consistent approach is taken on technical issues in similar contexts, and that the southern Sudan programme learns from elsewhere. Additionally you will analyse, coordinate and communicate complex public health information at many levels to a wide audience, both internal to Oxfam and to external actors such as Government Authorities, UNICEF and relevant INGOs. You will assist in the design and implementation of effective monitoring and evaluation of the programme to help in routine impact analysis. You will be expected to lead on the development and production of technical proposals to donors and provide technical input into internal and donor reports as well as contribute to the development of policy positions based on practical lessons learned.

The Person

To be successful in this role you will have a recognised degree qualification in Public Health Engineering as well as substantial experience in managing public health programmes, preferably with experience in insecure contexts. You will have a sound understanding of participatory and community-based approaches to public health, with previous experience of building the capacities of local staff and partners.
