Job Title: PHP Technical Team leader – Rapid Response Team
Location: Maiduguri, Borno
Starting date: As soon as possible
Duration: Six (6) Months with possibility of extension.
Background

Over the past year, insurgency has intensified attacks which have spread from North-East Nigeria to Cameroon, Chad and Niger, affecting some 20 million people. Suicide bombings and raids targeting civilians in villages and in cities around the Lake Chad basin have caused widespread trauma, prevented people from accessing essential services and destroyed infrastructure. Across the region, over 2.8 million people are displaced; most of who are sheltered by communities that count among the world’s most vulnerable.
The combined effect of growing insecurity, fast population growth and severe vulnerability resulting from a changing climate, environmental degradation, poverty and under-investment in social services is translating into record numbers of people in need of emergency relief. There are 9.2 million in need of humanitarian assistance. Nigeria is hosting 7m, Cameroon 1.5m, Niger 460.000 and Chad 257.000.
The increasing number of attacks and arrival of displaced children have placed an additional burden on already weak health and education systems. Insecurity, displacement, disrupted agricultural activities and cross-border trade continue to undermine communities’ livelihoods and have resulted in a sharp rise in food insecurity.
Still 3.6 million people are in need in North East Nigeria of WASH assistance as 75% of the infrastructures have been destroyed during the crisis. Population are vulnerable to WASH related diseases outbreak due to the lack of access to improved WASH service. For example, approximately 30% of the IDP population do not have access to safe water as per Sphere standards and the prevalent malnutrition rate in the affected areas is making people more at risk for disease outbreak Finally the volatile situation with new arrivals being reported in existing IDPs camps and the potentiality for new areas to open, requires maintaining a rapid response capacity to ensure lifesaving WASH assistance is being delivered to those population.
