We are looking for a highly qualified Protection Project Manager to work in one of the biggest international NGOs in the Central African Republic (CAR).
Who are we?
Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a Danish international non-governmental organisation, which promotes and supports durable solutions to the problems faced by refugees and internally displaced people all over the world. DRC is present in more than 30 conflict territories around the world assisting displaced people with shelter, food, income generating activities, legal aid and a wide range of other protection assistance.
DRC is one of the largest INGOs in CAR, working out of 2 Field offices in the North, 5 sub offices and the capital office (Bangui) and a complex funding portfolio. DRC seeks to improve the protective environment of displaced and conflict affected populations by strengthening their self-reliance and resilience through a tailored response. DRC’s program in CAR aims to build capacities for protection and resilience (through livelihoods, food security, community infrastructures) in Bangui, in Ouham Pendé, and Ouham prefectures in order to strengthen durable solutions for the displaced and returnees.
About the job
Since the second half of 2016, the dynamics of returns to Bangui, which began in November 2015, have intensified. Several factors, such as the gradual closure of the city's IDP sites, increased coverage and the type of humanitarian assistance for returnees, and the reduction of neighborhood security incidents have accompanied this dynamic. Since the beginning of 2017, through assessments and the implementation of coordination tools, actors (humanitarian, government actors, local authorities, etc.) have come together to develop a better understanding of this dynamic and adapt their action to respond at best to the needs of the people concerned.
In this way, ACTED, DRC, Action Against Hunger and IMPACT Initiatives came together in a Consortium to respond holistically and inclusively to theirs needs. This consortium will implement a project funded by Bêkou which aims to support and sustain the dynamics of return to Bangui through strengthened social, economic and protection mechanisms.
The Protection Project Manager will be in charge of the implementation, follow up and supervision of protection (protection monitoring, psychosocial support and social cohesion) activities planned in this project and ensure protection mainstreaming in all other activities.
