Purpose of the Job:
The purpose of the Camp Management Coordinator is to effectively implement the Urban Displacement & Out of Camp (UDOC) portfolio in Central Afghanistan, in response to the mass influx from spontaneous return of undocumented refugees into eastern Afghanistan from Pakistan. The UDOC programme started in 2016. UDOC uses Camp Management methodologies to improve the protection and assistance response to displacement affected communities by targeting most-affected areas where it establishes mechanisms to enhance:
- Communication and information sharing with the displaced and vulnerable host communities
- Engagement with and participation of affected communities alongside local stakeholders
- Support to the coordination of services, including a range of stakeholders (authorities, civil society, NGOs, private sector, etc.).
These mechanisms are established with the help of mobile outreach teams and static community centres in each targeted area.
