Durée de la mission : 9 months
Date de clôture des candidatures : 12/01/2020
Référence de l’annonce : 000-030-APG-5487
Contexte de travail :
A high proportion of the Undocumented Myanmar Nationals (UNM) refugees in Cox’s Bazar remain in a chronic Humanitarian situation due to long-term challenges to find a durable solution to their status in Myanmar and Bangladesh and therefore require continuous humanitarian assistance. The new influx, with more than 760,000 arrivals from August 2018, has created even more pressure on resources and increasing humanitarian needs. The host Bangladeshi communities are also affected by the presence of a large refugee population living in the region. The two sub-districts of Ukhiya and Teknaf, where the refugees are mostly residing, are vulnerable to increased rates of poverty due to lack of public and private services, scarce job opportunities and limited natural resources, among other key causes. In addition, this coastal region is continuously dealing with the impacts of natural disasters, mostly cyclones and flooding, during which meagre assets of the local population are damaged or destroyed. The humanitarian needs resulting from the Mora’s devastating impact and the new arrivals of refugees have not been fully met yet, and the cyclone season is expected to start soon.

Specificites/particularites du poste :
Security is an issue of ongoing concern in the country. The Hill Tracts (Myanmar border and Indian border) are zones where expatriates are not allowed to go except with an authorization from the government. In Dhaka, the blockades and Hartals (national strikes) can restrict project activity. Expatriates have to strictly follow the security rules, which are periodically updated. The security for expatriates has deteriorated since 2016 with attacks specifically targeting foreign interest, putting additional restrictions on expatriate movement. In July 2016, 29 people including 18 expatriates were killed by suspected extremist militants at the Holey Artisan Bakery. From then on, the government has been taking serious steps in cracking down of militant activities in the country. Expatriates are currently only allowed to move by car; walking in the streets is restricted to specific areas and times of the day. Security in Cox’s Bazar is even more sensitive with the presence of a growing number of foreign aid workers and the large number of refugee population. Recent tensions lead to recurrent demonstrations and rising tensions between communities. Although Bangladesh remains a family duty station, considering the security restrictions, Cox Bazar is a non family station.
