Position Details
Senior Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods Advisor - Ethiopia (Oxfam GB)
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia £21,559 per annum net (National plus post)
Fixed Term for one year
Background
War, drought, and an oppressive political regime made Ethiopia one of the poorest nations in the world during the 1980s.
However this has changed considerably due to various stakeholder interventions.
During the 1984/85 famine, Oxfam played a major part in the international relief effort, organising large-scale food distribution and water supply projects.
When the Ethiopian civil war ended in 1991, Oxfam's priorities shifted towards longer-term community-based development work.
Oxfam was a major player in responding to the humanitarian crisis of 2000/01 and 2003/04, particularly in the eastern and southern parts of the country.
This year, the National Change Strategy (NCS) for Oxfam GB Ethiopia has been finalized as the result of extensive research, analysis and discussion, which has involved and built on the experience and expertise of Oxfam staff from Ethiopia, the region and Oxford, along with external experts and partners. The programme is now at the strategy implementation stage.
The Role
We require a Senior Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods (EFSL) Advisor who will lead in improving the quality and accountability of Oxfam GB's EFSL interventions in Ethiopia and in strengthening Oxfam GB's ability to inform and influence the food security discourse in the country and region.
The role will develop a framework and design strategies on emergency food security and livelihoods interventions.
You will provide advice and technical support to Humanitarian Programme Managers on designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of EFSL projects and activities.
The jobholder will lead on designing and conducting research on EFSL interventions. You will be responsible for country staff technical capacity building on EFSL, and contribute to the development and implementation of food security advocacy work in the country and in the Horn, East and Central Africa (HECA) region.
The Person
We are seeking for an EFSL person who has experience working at an international level and is globally deployable for emergencies.
You should have extensive knowledge and experience on emergency food security and livelihoods programming including assessments, inputs, transfer and market based interventions.
This will include practical application of humanitarian principles, standards and policy issues.
You should also have a well-developed and proven strategic, planning and analytical skills and a demonstrated ability to effectively inform and influence internal programming and external stakeholders.
Basic understanding of nutrition in emergencies is an added advantage for this role.
How to apply
If you believe you fit the job and the person profile, please submit your application and CV in English detailing your experience for the post and include daytime telephone contacts to [email protected] or apply online at http://www.oxfam.org.uk/jobs using REF INT3270.

Amuru, Kitgum, Gulu, Pader) highlighting specifically how young and local people affected by the conflict in Acholi sub-region could potentially earn a living in their local areas.
7. Identify cross-cutting issues that point to the need for special attention for vulnerable youth.

You know what Oxfam means by high-quality preparedness and response. You also know what a rapid onset of a major crisis means.

Programme Manager
Closing date: 21 Jun 2009
Location: Congo - Bukavu
Summary: Democratic Republic of Congo/Bukavu, Salary Range: £19240 - £25058 net pa + globally competitive package
The Democratic Republic of Congo has a history of violence and conflict.
More than 5 million people have died as a result of conflicts which have raged for over a decade, and a further 1 million have been driven from their homes.
Despite its huge potential wealth, the country is now one of the poorest in the world.
Malnutrition is widespread, while the lack of healthcare and adequate sanitation have both reached critical levels. Since January this year, an upsurge in fighting between the Government and FDLR rebels has displaced more than 250,000 people in eastern Congo. Which is why, at Oxfam, we're scaling up our emergency relief efforts to bring greater security and stability to the region.
The role An additional 150,000 people will benefit from Oxfam's increased presence in eastern Congo.
And you'll play a big part in making it happen.
Managing the budget and resources of our humanitarian relief programme in the northern part of South Kivu, you'll analyse the immediate needs of the people, as well as the underlying political and social situation in the region.
From there you'll devise a strategy that combines emergency relief with crucial advocacy and development work that will bring long term results.
The key to your success in both areas will be the collaborative relationships you develop and the way you coordinate our efforts with people in the community, local authorities, the UN and other NGOs.
What we're looking for To rise to the challenge, you'll need considerable experience of emergency relief work and a broad knowledge of the issues surrounding it.
Specific experience in security management is essential. As is a good understanding of the basic rights of displaced people and the victims of violence.
Given the nature of the role and the region, tact and diplomacy are clearly important. But you'll need to combine them with a confidence, credibility and excellent powers of persuasion.
From a practical perspective, you must be fluent in both French and English.
And of course, you must also be prepared to live and work in what is often a stressful environment.
How to apply
If you believe that you are our best candidate we are looking for, please submit your CV detailing your experience for the post and daytime telephone contacts quoting this job reference (INT3259) at www.oxfam.org.uk/jobs
