CONTEXT

Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.
Handicap International is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside disabled and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Present in more than 55 countries, Handicap International is composed of 2 operational directions:

• The Direction of Humanitarian Action (DAH)
• The Direction of Development Action (DAD)

Handicap International (HI) have been intervening in Yemen on and off for the last 13 years, with its actions initially focused on development issues, notably through the support to the development of physical and functional rehabilitation services for people with disabilities (PwDs) as well as through the capacity-building of the national networks of Yemen Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs).

Since 2015, HI interventions have been adapted to the current context of conflict in Yemen. With the support of DFATD, ECHO and Unicef, HI has been supporting two hospitals and one physical and functional rehabilitation centre in Sana’a City, building the capacities of their key staff in early rehabilitation care and psychological first aid (including specifically for children), supplying rehabilitation equipment, and directly providing physical and functional rehabilitation care to war affected people (including through the donation of assistive devices). This support continued with ECHO funding in 2016 and has led to additional funding in 2017 and 2018. In addition, HI Yemen secured a GMOFA grant in 2017 (up to December 2018) to provide additional comprehensive rehabilitation care to PwD/PwI as well as a component of inclusion mainstreaming for humanitarian organization.

In parallel, HI has been implementing an inclusion and protection mainstreaming project, funded by DFATD and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to increase the knowledge and capacities of the staff of 2 local and 2 International NGOs in the inclusion of the most vulnerable persons in their humanitarian response (including PwD), so as to increase their access to essential services. In 2017, in addition of the GMOFA grant on inclusion, HI has become a member of 2 consortium funded by DFID: (1) CIRAM consortium lead by ACTED and (2) ICLA consortium led by IOM. HI, as technical support for the consortium parent, is ensuring the inclusion mainstreaming of the program in both consortiums. In addition in the ICLA consortium, HI will ensure training on PSS and MRE.

DECRIPTION OF THE JOB POSITION:

In 2018, HI will extend its intervention to health facilities and populations outside Amanat Al Asimah and Sana’a Governorate. Funding from ECHO (HIP 2018) already secured, will allow HI to expand its activities in Al Hudaydah governorate which are expecting to start in October 2018. A need assessment is also schedule by the end of 2018 in Aden to develop similar health activities (proposal submitted to Skala foundation)…
