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.

Handicap International is changing his name and becomes « Humanity & Inclusion ». 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.

For further information about the association: www.hi.org

Present in more than 55 countries, HI is composed of 2 operational directions:

• The Direction of Humanitarian Action

• The Direction of Development Action

JOB CONTEXT : HI has been operating in Ethiopia since 1986 and has implemented projects in the area of physical rehabilitation, mine risk education, community based rehabilitation, food security, HIV and AIDS, capacity building of local associations of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), inclusive education, inclusive employment, Child protection, GBV prevention, protection/assistance to refugees/IDPs.

In addition to being the second largest refugee-hosting country in Africa, Ethiopia has had to deal with many internally displaced persons (IDPs). The Displacement Tracking Matrix reported 2.5 million IDPs of which nearly 2 million have been displaced by conflict or social tension.

More recently, in April 2018 ethnic-based violence along the borders of Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia region) areas led to large-scale displacements. Renewed violence at the border in early June led to the displacement of 978,448 people.

Damaged infrastructure and housing, along with the loss of assets such livestock and cash reserves, makes it impossible for IDPs to continue their usual work in areas of displacement. On June 22, the Ethiopian government and humanitarian partners released a response plan to address the needs of affected populations, requesting a scaled-up response from humanitarian actors.

In this framework, we are looking for a field coordinator for the region of Dila.
