Action Contre la Faim recrute un chef de service eau, assainissement et hygiène, Yangon, Birmanie
Votre environnement de travail
Action Contre la Faim (ACF) has been working in Myanmar since 1994 implementing projects in the field of health, nutrition, food security and livelihoods, WASH, and Mental Health Care Practices support to vulnerable communities. The humanitarian situation in Myanmar is characterised by a complex combination of vulnerability, to natural disasters, food and nutrition vulnerability, armed conflict, intercommunal tensions, displacement trafficking and risky migration. The context is even more complex since February 2021.
Due to increased conflict and armed clashes in Rakhine, the implementation context has always been challenging, characterized by a dynamic socio-cultural political environment and compounded by extreme weather conditions. The Rakhine context has created a need for innovative and flexible funding, which bridges humanitarian and development programmes, especially in response to the needs of the vulnerable Rohingya population. This context has increased ACF interventions and its humanitarian efforts in Rakhine. ACF work in camps, nutrition centres, and communities focusing on three key determinants of extreme poverty; child and pregnant/lactating women (PLW) malnutrition, food insecurity and poor access to basic services.
ACF has a field office in Sittwe with sub bases in TKP, Maungdaw and Minbya, and a country office in Yangon.
