Work context
Context: Yemen is one of the three emergency L3 in the world. The needs in the country are very high and the context is challenging. ACF Yemen has been scaling up its emergency intervention substantially throughout 2016 and will continue to do so, especially in the field of Nutrition. ACF in Yemen implements Nutrition/Health, Food Security and WASH programming, and is recognized as one of the key emergency actors in the country. Security conditions remain volatile, and imply very strict security rules and limited opporunities for leisure or social gathering.
The position is based in Aden, where another 5 expatriates are permanently based. Living conditions in Aden imply strict movement restrictions, and limited opportunities for social gathering: you should be ready to evolve under such conditions and strictly follow established security rules. You also need to be ready to remotely manage your programs, as expatriates do not have access to the field in Aden.
