CANADEM Nigeria Recruitment 2017

We are recruiting to fill the position of:

Job Title: OCHA-Civil Military Coordination Officer-P3
Location: Maiduguri, Borno
Background

The humanitarian crisis in Nigeria’s North-East is one of the most severe in the world today, with 8.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and 6.9 million targeted for humanitarian assistance.

The prolonged humanitarian crisis has had a devastating impact on food security and nutrition Nigeria’s northeast, with 5.2 million people currently in need of food assistance including 50,000 people in faminelike conditions. In February 2017, the UN’s Secretary-General issued an urgent call to action to the international community. The inclusion of North-East Nigeria in the Secretary-General’s global call to action – alongside some of the largest humanitarian crises in the world – was a clear sign of the severity of the situation.
The displacement situation remains complex, with new displacements occurring simultaneously with returns of IDPs and refugees. Some 1.7 million people are internally displaced and over 1.2 people have returned ‘spontaneously’ to areas of habitual residence since August 2015, mainly in Adamawa State. Compounding existing humanitarian concerns are the movements of returnees from Cameroon into areas of high insecurity, and where the capacity of the humanitarian community to respond is stretched. Some 19,000 Nigerians have returned from Cameroon in 2017 – including 4,400 forced returns – and the Government of Cameroon has indicated the possible return of an additional 80,000 Nigerians in the coming months....
