Administrative, Financial and HR Manager PIROPS M/F At French Red Cross

A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. It also heads 12 regional health and social training institutes.

Its International Operations Directorate (DOI ) is present in around twenty countries, particularly in Africa, the Middle East/Europe and the Indian Ocean and Caribbean region via its Regional Intervention Platforms (PIR). Its areas of intervention are varied: health, water and sanitation, food security and livelihoods, psychosocial support and disaster risk reduction, both in emergency contexts and with a view to recovering populations after a crisis.

Newly created, the South Pacific Ocean Regional Intervention Platform (PIROPS) is the representative delegation of the French Red Cross (CRF) for the Pacific region as well as its operational mechanism for humanitarian action and regional cooperation.

PIROPS helps the populations of the South Pacific in all major disasters and works to develop actions to strengthen the resilience capacities of populations in French territories as well as in the countries and territories of the region.

The South Pacific is an area overexposed to multiple risks (e.g. cyclones, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis), the islands located there are particularly vulnerable due to their size and geographical fragmentation. In fact, this ocean is home to four of the ten countries identified as the most at risk in the world (Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Papua New Guinea).

PIROPS is implementing the 3 Oceans project in this area, financed by the AFD, which aims to reduce the impact of natural disasters, health crises and the effects of climate change on the populations of the three ocean basins (Indian Ocean, Caribbean and South Pacific) on the themes of risk prevention, disaster preparedness, reconstruction and development.
