Regional Logistics Manager – Morocco / Tunisia & Libya – Libyanjobs

CONTEXT :

Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.

HI, Humanity & Inclusion, is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation with no religious or political affiliations operating in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Since the organisation was first founded in 1982, we have set up development programmes in more than 55 countries and responded to many emergencies. Today we have a budget of around 150 million euros, with 3500 employees worldwide.

HI is present in Tunisia since 1992 and settled its presence permanently in the country since 1997 in order to support national initiatives aiming to foster the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Since 2011, HI promotes awareness actions and supports the emergence of the civil society aiming at enhancing the promotion and respect of the rights for persons with disabilities. HI also implements projects in inclusive rural development, inclusive education, women participation and economical inclusion in close partnership with local structures.

HI also started to intervene in Morocco since 1993, conducting professional trainings for ortho prosthesis specialists, upon the request of the Moroccan Ministry of Public Health. Since 1996 the scope of intervention of HI in Morocco has largely widen and developed through different partnerships with local associations but also institutions, including training to professionals such as the implementation of inclusive development projects and support to DPOs. Currently HI Morocco implements projects in rehabilitation, inclusive education, economical inclusion, protection and migration in close partnership with local structures and local institutions.

From 2014 to mid of 2018, HI’s Libya mission was managed remotely from neighboring Tunisia, where all international staff was based. Since last summer, a phased redeployment of international staff has been taking place, with four of the current expatriate team of nine now based in Misrata. Planning is currently taking place for a permanent expatriate presence in Tripoli, expected to be implemented during 2019.

As a result of the conflict and political crisis, the collapse of the health services has considerably reduced assistance towards the most vulnerable, in particular persons with disabilities. HI is currently implementing a humanitarian programme from operational bases in Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi with the following activities:
• Provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services including physical therapy and psychosocial support for persons with disabilities/injuries, distribution of assistive devices as required;
• Capacity building, technical support and donations of assistive devices and/or materials and equipment to health partners (hospitals, rehabilitation centres and local NGOs);
• Training on inclusion principles to other humanitarian actors and health workers;
• Provision of Risk Education to conflict affected communities on the risks and effects caused by mines and explosive remnants of war;
• Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD); clearance and destruction of explosive hazards;
• Support to the Libyan Mine Action Centre (LibMAC) and other ministries in developing a victim assistance strategy and action plan since 2018.
