NGO Jobs in Kenya – IRC

2015-08-04T23:06:00.000-07:00

Regional Emergency Preparedness Coordinator

Sector: Emergency Preparedness & Response

Location: Kenya

Employee Type: Regular

Employee Category: Full Time

Description: The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC is supporting people forced to flee from war, conflict and disaster and the host communities which support them, as well as those who remain within their homes and communities.

At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

The IRCs EPRU

The IRCs Emergency Preparedness and Response Unit (EPRU) leads or oversees IRCs global emergency preparedness and response activities.

The mission of the EPRU is to help meet the immediate survival needs and reduce suffering in conflict or disaster affected populations during the acute phase of an emergency.

The EPRU also works in protracted emergencies, where the risk to life may be reduced but the population is still subjected to rights abuses and a lack of basic services.

The EPRU is also charged with enhancing the IRCs global and country level emergency preparedness capacity.

We do this by supporting the development and training of IRC Country Emergency Teams, assisting in the development of emergency focused partnerships with local civil society organizations, supporting the IRC country teams in emergency preparedness planning, maintaining regional and global capacity to rapidly identify and deploy qualified emergency response personnel and supporting country-level contingency planning.

The IRC’s Horn, East Africa, Yemen and Zimbabwe (HEAZ) Region

The IRC has been working in the Horn and East Africa region since 1981, when it first launched an emergency response to help tens of thousands of people affected by the civil war in Sudan.

From that time, the IRC has expanded significantly to respond to the region’s numerous and protracted humanitarian emergencies and conflicts.

IRC teams are currently on the ground in ten countries in the region: Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

Scope of Work

The Regional Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (REPC) will lead the EPRU’s work within the HEAZ region of enhancing the organization’s preparedness to respond to emergencies on country level.

S/he will support IRC country teams in the HEAZ region to respond better to small and medium sized crises through the development and training of Country Emergency Teams (CET).

S/he will also support the development of partnerships for emergencies with national Civil Society Organizations (CSO) in the countries of the Region.

The REPC has a key role in the planning and delivery of capacity and competency development activities for IRC CET staff and staff of CSO partner organizations that will also promote common approaches and standards across emergency responses.

And finally s/he will supporting the process of increasing IRC country program emergency readiness through the development and regular updating of country emergency preparedness plans.

The REPC will be situated in the HEAZ regional team, and collaborate closely with the IRC’s EPRU and HEAZ Country Teams as well as other IRC departments, including Human Resources and Technical and Operations Units and will work closely with the EPRU’s Senior Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (HQ based) and other REPCs in other regions to assure a highly integrated work.

Responsibilities

Emergency Preparedness Planning on Country Level
Support and facilitate the Emergency Preparedness Planning process of IRC country teams in high-risk countries in the Region, managing the draft finalization, feedback, approval and recurring review processes of the Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) as well as follow-up on progress of the country team against the emergence preparedness action points identified in the EPP.

Support and facilitate the process to jointly assess the IRC country team’s and their CSO partner’s readiness to respond to emergencies and to develop and implement joint preparedness and response plans.

Manage the development of a regional emergency preparedness perspective through analyzing the EPPs from within the region and identifying hazards and threats that could affect neighboring countries and supporting the development and maintenance of a regional emergency-risk monitoring and preparedness tool.

Capacity Building of Staff on Emergency Preparedness and Response

Advise and support IRC country teams in the process and procedure to identify and select appropriate and motivated staff for the CET.

Support the continuous assessment of emergency response capacity and competency needs of CET staff and assist in the corresponding development of capacity and competency building tools and training resources necessary for setting up effective and efficient emergency response teams

Manage the delivery of emergency response competency and capacity building training to CET staff within their Region and assist IRC country teams in the development of efficient and effective CETs.

Provide input to the EPRU’s Senior Emergency Preparedness Coordinator into the process of further development and improvement of capacity and competency development tools and resources.

In collaboration with the country teams within the Region and the EPRU Deployment Coordinator, assist in the selection of staff e.g. from the CETs to the Internal Emergency Roster (IER) and manage the further preparation, training and development of these staff for international emergency response deployment.

Partnership Development

The IRC’s new strategy places emphasis on the establishing and development of partnerships with CSOs. In this, the IRC will clearly move away from primarily sub-contracting out elements of program implementation to a partnership model that centers on actually investing in CSO partners to help them strengthen their own emergency response capacities.

The REPC will be instrumental in building relationships around shared objectives and vision - rather than only focusing on project and partners’ performance.

Support the IRC country teams in the process of evaluating and selecting potential CSO partners in high risk countries and support the establishing, developing and maintaining of these partnerships with a particular focus on partnering / collaboration in emergencies.

When needed, provide coordination and co-operation support to country teams and CSO partners during an emergency response.

Provide input to the EPRU’s Senior Emergency Preparedness Coordinator into the process of emergency response training tools and resources and manage the delivery of such trainings to IRC partner organizations in collaboration with the country team.

In collaboration with the IRC country teams and Partnership Unit, support established CSO partners with on-going, tailored, targeted support to help ensure effective application of emergency response skills.

Manage and support the process in the Region to establish, develop and maintain partnerships in high-risk countries where the IRC has no presence.

Requirements

Prior hands-on field experience and proven track record in:

humanitarian staff competency and capacity development
emergency preparedness planning and programs
