Housing Land&Property(HLP) Areas of Responsibility (AoR) Information Management & Coordination Adviser Senegal, Dakar CDI

Country: Senegal
Organization: Norwegian Refugee Council
Closing date: 6 Jan 2023

Are you passionate about using data and information to respond to housing, land and property challenges in the humanitarian sector? Could you support country operations across the globe for more effective coordination and humanitarian response? Can you work in French as well as English? If this could be you, please read on…

Background

The Global Protection Cluster (GPC) was established in 2005 directly as a result of the Humanitarian Response Review and is led by UNHCR. The GPC is the only cluster to have Areas of Responsibility (AoR) – Child Protection, GBV, HLP and Mine Action – within the Protection sector and identified focal point agencies to assume responsibility and accountability for each AoR. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been leading the HLP AoR since the end of 2016.

The HLP AoR aims to facilitate a more predictable, accountable and effective response by coordinating and providing global level inter-agency policy advice and technical guidance on HLP concerns that arise in humanitarian action, complex emergencies and disasters. Its overall objective is to facilitate a more systematic approach to addressing HLP issues on the ground by promoting collaboration and complementarity of efforts amongst agencies undertaking HLP activities and by addressing gaps in policy and technical areas. Current HLP AoR strategic objectives are: (i) improved global support to HLP coordination and response; and (ii) enhanced global attention to HLP through donor engagement, advocacy and HLP inclusion across clusters. HLP is increasingly understood to be a cross-sectoral matter and should be integrated into any analysis or programming related to housing or land (e.g. shelter, WASH, CCCM, Food Security/Livelihoods) and at all phases of response.

About the Position

NRC requires an experienced HLP Information Management and Coordination Adviser to support NRC’s work leading the Housing, Land and Property Area of Responsibility (HLP AoR) within the Global Protection Cluster.
