The Enhancing Community Resilience Programme (ECRP) aims to increase communities’ resilience to climate change in Malawi. This new programme aims to enable households to build resilient livelihoods that are sustainable and profitable, incorporating natural resource management and risk reduction, increasing adaptive capacity and enabling vulnerable households to have a voice in decisions affecting them. The programme is being implemented in seven districts in central and southern Malawi by a consortium led by Christian Aid. Consortium members include CARE, Action Aid, technical resource partners and a number of local implementing partners. ECRP is funded by the UK’s Department for International Development, Irish Aid and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The District Coordinators will be based in the offices of ECRP implementing partners Evangelical Association of Malawi (Chikwawa) and Churches Action in Relief and Development (Mulanje). They will ensure effective programme delivery and provide technical capacity building support to partners in disaster risk reduction and climate change programming. They will be responsible for results-based monitoring and documentation of change to feed into advocacy and policy work and to enable sharing of best practice across the ECRP consortium and with external stakeholders as appropriate.

Candidates for these roles should have a degree in a relevant discipline, and good knowledge of the requirements of institutional donors. They must be familiar with programme management cycles, including participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation. Experience of developing partners’ capacity is essential, as is experience of project negotiation, appraisal and evaluation.

RDC - Logisticien de projet Pear Plus - Bunia

COOPI dans le pays:

La première intervention de COOPI en République Démocratique du Congo (ex-Zaïre) remonte aux années ’70 et l’action s’est principalement située dans le Kivu pendant de nombreuses années. Suite aux changements de la situation dans le Pays et aux problématiques nées, les activités de COOPI se sont déplacées dans les régions de conflits afin de mettre en oeuvre des programmes d’urgence aux populations déplacées et victimes de la guerre. En raison de l’évolution du contexte général en cours dans certaines provinces du Pays, COOPI s’est aussi engagée dans la gestion de projets pluriannuels afin d’assurer une phase de transition de l’urgence au développement dans divers domaines, afin de garantir un développement harmonieux et durable.

· Description du projet:

L’Ituri a été l’une des régions les plus affectées par les conflits armés et interethniques caractérisés par des massacres, des violences sexuelles, des enlèvements et des déplacements massifs des populations.

Les femmes et les enfants n’ont pas été épargnés et ont été fortement affectés par ces conflits.

Les différents conflits armés et ethniques dans le district de l’Ituri, et particulièrement dans le territoire de Djugu, ont été la cause d’une destruction massive des villages et de leurs infrastructures communautaires. Plus précisément, les FOSA, les sources d’eau et les écoles ont été massivement ravagées par la guerre interethnique. En effet les FOSA, sources d’eau et écoles existantes sont à moitié écroulées, ou ont été totalement détruites et ne fonctionnent que dans des conditions très précaires. En outre, l’Ituri connaît un retour massif des populations vers leurs propres villages de provenance.

Ce programme contribuera à améliorer les conditions sanitaires, éducatives, de protection et d’hygiène des populations, ainsi que les conditions psychologiques et sociales en faveur des ESFGA, des ENA et aux survivants des violences sexuelles afin de réduire les nouveaux risques de vulnérabilité et les aider à retrouver leur équilibres et leur vie normale et pour retrouver leur statut au sein de leur famille et/ou de leur communauté. Le projet engagera également des changements socioculturels.

L’objectif du projet est d’assister la population retournée de certaines zone de l’Ituri, dans le processus de réintégration avec les populations d’origine à travers la fourniture d’un paquet intégré d’assistance : ce projet est partie, et se coordonnera avec, d’un programme plus vaste qui va être mis en œuvre dans plusieurs provinces, coordonné par une unité crée par l’UNICEF spécifiquement pour cela.

Cet appui s’intègre et complète le projet d’appui aux victimes de violences sexuelles et/ou liées au genre, Assistance et réintégration des enfants sortis des forces et groupes armés et autres vulnérables, de nutrition et de santé de la reproduction qui sont déjà opérationnels dans le territoire de Djugu.

Dans ce cadre d’action COOPI recherche un Logisticien de projet, pour la coordination du secteur Constructions et Logistique.
