JOB CONTEXT:
Over the last 2 years Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea have faced the Ebola outbreak that lead to the death of 3,589 Sierra Leones and 4,808 Liberians and about 4,000 survivors in Sierra Leone. The end of the year 2015 and the beginning of 2016 represent the transition period of the outbreak and the handover of the capacity of Ebola management (in case of resurgence of the outbreak) by the International community to the Governments.
Handicap International is present in the Mano River region since 1996. From 2008, HI started a switch from its operational approach in both countries. Due to major security improvements, and political stability, the international community started supporting Governments of Sierra Leone and Liberia to implement mid and long term development projects. For HI, this evolution meant the possibility to start expanding its activities not only on service delivery but also on strengthening capacities of local stakeholders to deal with disability issues.
2016 fundraising will focus during the recovery of these 2 countries on Physical Rehabilitation, Mother and Child Health and Mental health, protection, livelihood, social mobilization and education mainly.
