Food Security Projects Coordinator
Lieu d'affectation : Bamako, Mali Salaire : 19,625£ net par an + benefits package CDI, poste accompagné à pourvoir immédiatement Date de clôture : 25 mars 2010
Oxfam Grande Bretagne est une ONG Internationale qui intervient au Mali dans la lutte contre la pauvreté depuis la fin des années 1960. Dans le contexte de la rébellion touarègue du début des années 1990, la résolution des conflits, l'éducation et le travail avec les populations nomades au nord du Mali, notamment Gao, faisaient partie des points focaux du programme du pays.
C'est avec la dernière crise alimentaire en date (2004/2005) que de nouveaux programmes humanitaires ont été développés à Gao, notamment dans les secteurs de la sécurité alimentaire et de l'eau/ assainissement et hygiène. Pour maximiser notre impact, depuis 2006 et 2007, des nouveaux thèmes se sont ajoutés (gouvernance locale notamment), et la zone d'intervention étendue au sud du pays (zones cotonnières). Afin de renforcer nos programmes en sécurité alimentaire, l'approche des filets sociaux a été lancée.
Ainsi, Oxfam GB (OGB) en partenariat avec Save the Children US (SC-US) et l'IER (Institut d'Economie Rurale) propose une action qui vise, d'une manière globale, à renforcer la capacité de résilience des populations rurales les plus démunies à faire face à la hausse des prix alimentaires et contribuer à la réduction de la faim au Mali. Le projet permettra en particulier aux ménages « pauvres » et « très pauvres » des régions de Gao et Sikasso de jouir d'un accès accru et sécurisé à la nourriture. L'impact immédiat est que les ménages cibles vont accroître leur consommation alimentaire et leur capacité d'acquérir de la nourriture et des intrants de production sur les marchés. L'impact à moyen-long terme est que les bénéficiaires seront en mesure de protéger et d'investir dans leurs avoirs relatifs aux moyens d'existence, bénéficier ainsi d'une source de nourriture et de revenus plus durable et auront une meilleure capacité à gérer leurs ressources. Les régions ciblées par le projet sont connues pour l'insécurité alimentaire qui y règne ainsi qu'un taux élevé de la malnutrition. Le projet ciblera les populations correspondant à trois zones de système de vie : les populations de la zone agro-cotonnière au Sud et les populations agro fluviales et pastorales au Nord.
Des interventions d'urgence sont également mise en ouvre par Oxfam-GB tel qu'actuellement ou en Septembre 2009. Le Coordinateur/trice avec un chargé de projet et le Directeur du Programme de Moyens d'existence seront responsables pour assurer que des interventions de ce type soient mises en ouvre efficacement et à tempsCountry Director - Haiti

Driller Team Leader
En raison de l'urgence du poste, les demandes feront l'objet d'une séléction préliminaire régulière et nous pouvons offrir ce poste avant la date de clôture.
Abéché, Tchad
£19,625 net par an + prime pour le travail dans des conditions difficiles
Depuis 2004, Oxfam GB répond aux besoins humanitaires des réfugiés et personnes déplacées à l'Est du Tchad. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes reconnus comme étant l'organisation WASH leader dans la région et en tant que tel nous sommes le principal partenaire du HCR dans la recherche de solutions durables en termes d'approvisionnement en eau dans les 12 camps de réfugiés et communautés d'accueil. A ce poste clé, vous devrez trouver des solutions durables dans l'approvisionnement en eau souterraine pour 230.000 refugiés et un nombre important de communautés d'accueil.
Le rôle
En vous appuyant sur votre expertise en géophysique des eaux souterraines et en ingénierie, vous aurez un grand rôle à jouer dans la production d'environ 60 nouveaux forages prévus dans la région en 2010. Ceci impliquera le démantelement progressif des systèmes mécaniques/électriques coûteux existants utilisés pour fournir de l'eau potable, et leur remplacement par des pompes manuelles et à pied plus simples et plus fiables. Vous aurez une responsabilité dans les études géophysiques préliminaires et le forage exploratoire pour la production, l'installation et les tests. Et puisqu'il s'agit d'un poste de direction, vous devrez aussi gérer, renforcer et motiver le reste de l'équipe de forage.
Ce que nous recherchons
Pour mener à bien votre tâche, vous devez être un ingénieur qualifié ou un technicien spécialisé en eaux souterraines, doté d'une solide experience pratique. Il est essentiel d'avoir une vaste connaissance dans la conception et la construction de forages en utilisant un équipement de forage léger, ainsi qu'une solide formation en géophysique, installation de pompe, gestion des eaux souterraines, et suivi des aquifères. Vos compétences techniques sont importantes au même titre que les qualités personnelles que vous démontrez à ce poste. Vous devez avoir le goût du travail en équipe, savoir partager vos connaissances avec les agences partenaires locales, et avoir la capacité de mobiliser non seulement votre équipe mais aussi les communautés locales. Etant donné l'importance du renforcement des capacités qui est au cour de ce poste il est essentiel que vous parliez couramment le Français.
A propos d'Oxfam
Une vérité simple et indéniable met en évidence tout ce que nous faisons à OXFAM : Il y a suffisamment de richesses dans ce monde pour que tout un chacun puisse en bénéficier. Ce n'est pas seulement regrettable que les gens vivent dans la pauvreté, c'est tout simplement injustifié. Ce n'est pas leur problème. C'est le nôtre aussi. Et avec le soutien qu'il faut, nous pouvons combattre la pauvreté et l'injustice. Plus de 8000 personnes ont déjà mis leur temps et leurs talents au service de notre campagne, de nos projets humanitaires et de développement à long terme. Nous souhaitons à présent votre engagement.
