Senior Humanitarian Access Security

3 months ago

Abuja, FCT, Nigeria IRC - The International Rescue Committee Full time

Job Description
IRC has been present in Nigeria since 2012, when the organization responded to flooding in Kogi state.

In early 2014, IRC opened a field office in Mubi town of Adamawa state in NE Nigeria, followed by offices in Yola (Adamawa state) in November 2014 and Maiduguri (Borno state) in October 2015.

IRC has ECHO, OFDA, and Gates funds to respond to humanitarian, nutrition, GBV, and WASH activities.

In late 2014 and early 2015, IRC received additional funds from SV, SIDA, USAID, and UNICEF to carry out education, child protection, general protection, emergency food distributions, shelter support, and NFI distributions to newly displaced IDPs.

In late 2015 into early 2016, IRC received Swiss and UNHCR funds for additional emergency response humanitarian-focused programming in NE Nigeria.

In July 2016, a nutritional and food security crisis emerged in Borno state, and IRC began a rapid scale-up of its program intervention in that area, including the startup of programming outside the state capital, Maiduguri.

IRC anticipates continued expansion beyond Maiduguri, which requires additional security monitoring and management to ensure that IRC teams remain safe as they go into newly accessible areas of NE Nigeria.
