Country context / background
Burkina Faso is facing a multifaceted and complex crisis due to increased activities by armed groups, inter-community tensions, chronic food and nutrition insecurity, floods, and epidemics. The population displacements that began in 2019 continue to increase as the security situation worsens, with an increase in incidents and spatial progression.
As of 31 March January 2022, Burkina Faso recorded 1,850,293 IDPs. The largest number of IDPs is found in Centre-North, Sahel and North regions. In Sahel Region, which accounts for 31% of IDPs, around 57,000 are settled in sites in Dori, Gorom-Gorom, Djibo, and Bani. This situation is having a serious impact on fragile livelihoods and people’s ability to support themselves and is challenging already weak basic social services.
NRC has been working Sahel since 2020 with a site management project supported by UNHCR funding. Nevertheless, the conditions of access to water, sanitation and hygiene of these populations remains precarious. NRC response in Sahel aims at contributing to improve the overall framework of ensuring the protection of the displaced persons. Specially, NRC initiated a WASH Project to support communities in Sahel to deal with the challenges posed to their households, communities and institutions.
The organisation is therefore looking for an experienced WASH Project Manager, who will able to implement a challenging project in a complex area. The candidate should be in position to generate lesson learnt from this project and the context thereof to enable programme development.
