An Administrative Coordinator (M/F) – Pakistan

Since 1996 MdM has been working in Pakistan. The organization implements 2 main programmes:

• a post emergency program focusing on access to health care for the populations afflicted by the conflict in KPK and/or the floods : Since May 2009, the Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa province (KPK, ex-North West Frontier Province) experienced several crisis, following military interventions in various locations on different times (Swat, South Waziristan and Orakzai for the most acute ones), which resulted with massive displacements of populations. Today, with these successive displacements different stages of vulnerability emerged: new IDPs and host communities right after the onset of the crisis (i.e. Kohat and Hangu districts); returnees who, after the end of combat choose to go back to their place of origin (i.e. Buner), host communities (i.e. Swabi) and “stayees” who after the crisis stayed behind, weakened and vulnerable (i.e. Buner). Man made crisis have been completed by massive floods which covered a major part of the country from North West to South East, all along rivers’ path (Kabul River, Indus). Pakistan in general and KPK in particular has appeared as a disaster prone region in which MdM has decided to be active with fast reaction teams on Primary Health Care.

• long term program focusing on Gender based violence in Punjab province : 3 regional offices (Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi) have been established in which each team covers 8-13 Dar-Ul-Aman (shelter for GBV victims). Teams are multi-disciplinary consisting of medical, legal, psychological and advisors and field officers assigned with the task to support DUA staff and civil society to provide quality of services to residents free of charge. Moreover investments have been made in improving the overall management and condition of DUAs through training of staff and distribution of essential medicines and equipment. MdM aims to sustain established services in Dar Ul Aman settings and gradually phase out and hand over the full scope of the program to Social Welfare Department and civil society organizations.
