IMPACT ET REACH

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two international NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Program for Operational Satellite Applications (UNOSAT). The objective of REACH is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that improve the decision-making and planning capacity of the humanitarian community in emergency, reconstruction and recovery contexts. development. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) needs and situation assessment facilitated by REACH teams; b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; c) provision of databases and (web) mapping facilities and related expertise.

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization manages several initiatives, including the REACH initiative. The IMPACT team is made up of specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarters is based in Paris and is present in around thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, allowing IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support in its areas of intervention.

COUNTRY PROFILE

A country ranked 163 out of 191 in the Human Development Index (HDI), Haiti is experiencing a deterioration in the socio-economic, political and security context which has recently contributed to exacerbating structural problems. This deterioration results in particular in the impoverishment of households, linked to a particularly high price inflation rate while the country depends 60% on food imports and the rise in insecurity.

Initialement concentrées dans certains quartiers de la ville de Port-Au-Prince, les activités des gangs armés se sont intensifiées et diffusées dans la majeure partie de la zone métropolitaine (ZMPAP), ainsi que dans les départements comme l’Artibonite, exposant ainsi une proportion non négligeable de ménages haïtiens à des exactions et des déplacements internes.

Haïti est l’un des 10 pays au monde les plus exposés aux catastrophes naturelles. Le tremblement de terre de 2021, qui a frappé Haïti le 14 août a eu des effets dévastateurs sur les moyens d’existence des populations et sur les infrastructures du pays. De plus, au cours de l’année 2022, des troubles sociaux du fait de la crise du carburant et du coût de la vie ont parcouru le pays.

En pleine croissance, l’équipe d’IMPACT Haïti cherche un/e Senior SIG pour renforcer les compétences des collègues SIG de la mission ainsi que la stratégie SIG de la mission.

Dans le cadre de sa mission, le/la chargé/e d’évaluation sera accueilli par ACTED, partenaire mondial d’IMPACT, et sera sous la responsabilité directe et la gestion du directeur national d’ACTED et de ses délégués pour toutes les questions administratives, de sécurité, de logistique et de finance. Il/elle se conformera donc pleinement aux règles et réglementations d’ACTED en matière de sécurité, d’administration et de ressources humaines, logistiques et financières.

Nous sommes actuellement à la recherche d’un(e) Chargé/e de SIG Senior pour soutenir notre équipe en Haïti.
