JOB CONTEXT

HI/AL (Handicap International – Humanity & Inclusion / Atlas Logistique) proposes to set up a Humanitarian to Humanitarian (H2H) service in the form of a continuous observatory on a national scale, allowing the monitoring of the evolution of the context from a logistical and access point of view, and to prepare for a possible deterioration of the humanitarian context. This project proposes an agile setup that combines continuous analysis, stakeholder awareness, activities that facilitate rapid deployment (including small transport operations at the request of partners), and a contingency envelop for a rapid scaling up if needed. The project is based on an integrated approach to information management, with the aim of feeding the humanitarian community, training and support for actors, and an operational dimension (transport service for humanitarian actors) that can be adapted to the changing context

Humanitarian coordination will play an essential role in the event of a significant deterioration in the context and increase in humanitarian needs. This project aims to facilitate the collection of essential information, its analysis and sharing within the various coordination forums. Advocacy will be carried out on a regular basis to ensure that all these issues are taken into account by the various humanitarian actors.

Preparing: training and facilitating the organization of transport for NGOs, who are not very familiar with these practices in Lebanon, will be a real added value if the context forces them to take on this activity themselves. The suppliers today ensure the delivery of aid at the community or even individual level. The current logistic systems of the humanitarian response are not all dimensioned to organize it and to have a capacity to deploy fleets of trucks in case of increase of the activities. This project will help NGOs to increase their capacity in this area and reduce the transitional period between the current operation and an emergency-oriented internal organization.

Responding: In a context of economic crisis with recurring periods of shortages and fuel supply problems, the pooling of transport resources becomes important for optimization and rationalization. During this period, the platform’s activities will relieve the logistic services of the beneficiary NGOs, so that they can concentrate on their operations and the response to humanitarian needs. So providing an emergency-oriented approach to the actors is essential for a rapid and efficient response.

HI is recruiting a project manager to launch and manage emergency preparedness program in Lebanon.

The budget of the project is roughly 400 000 euros.
