CONTEXT :

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) has been present in Chad intermittently since the 1990s and permanently since 2014. HI operates today in N’Djamena, in Borkou (North), Ennedi (North East), Tibesti (North-West), in Moundou, Doba and Goré (South), Kanem (Mao), BeG (Moussoro) and at Lake Chad in Ngouri, Bol and Baga Sola (West).
The main current areas of intervention are as follows:

– Action against mines including technical and non-technical surveys, risk education, mine clearance, and decontamination;

– Functional rehabilitation (physiotherapy, orthopedics, hearing aids);

– Inclusive education;

– Emergency education and protection;

– The socio-economic integration of the most vulnerable households, particularly through the development of AGR and professional training;

– Inclusive local development and support for community solidarity HI projects implemented in Chad are currently financed by the European Union, ECHO, ECW/Unicef, PBF, CDCS, GFFO and the AFD (French Development Agency ).

HI’s strategy in the country for 2021-2022 is to continue the development of the Program both in terms of emergency responses and development projects, relying on its “core business” (assistance vulnerable people including people with disabilities, inclusion, action against mines, physical rehabilitation, education) while extending its range of activities to meet real needs and seeking innovative and sustainable solutions for socio-economic development of the most vulnerable in Chad.

SPECIFICITIES/PARTICULARITIES OF THE POSITION:

N’Djamena is a secure capital (few incidents, strong presence of security forces) where life is good (restaurants, bars, supermarkets, bakeries, hotel complexes, etc.). N’Djamena brings together a strong expatriate community. Many sports are possible there (tennis, boxing, yoga, golf, etc.). The major risk is that of a terrorist attack like those that occurred in 2015, even if no incident of this type has taken place since. Security rules are therefore in place to minimize exposure to risks but these measures remain limited to the places those most at risk in order to enable them to lead an almost normal life.
