Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. The organisation works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Since its creation in 1982, HI has run development programmes in more than 60 countries and responded to numerous emergencies. Today, we have a budget of approximately 255 million euros, with 4794 employees worldwide.

At Handicap International-Humanity & Inclusion, we truly believe in the importance of inclusion and diversity within our organisation. This is why we are engaged to a disability policy to encourage the inclusion and integration of people with disabilities.

Please indicate if you require any special accommodation, even at the first interview. For more information about the organisation: www.hi.org

JOB CONTEXT:
Since fighting broke out between the SAF and RSF in April 2023 in Sudan, a significant deterioration of the humanitarian situation has occurred. There are an estimated 24.8 million persons in need of humanitarian assistance, over 11 million persons displaced internally, half the population at Crisis level of hunger, and a collapse of the health system.

Since January 2024, HI has been responding to Sudan’s crisis. HI’s joint multisectorial response in Gedaref State, implemented with a Sudanese partner NGO, is already providing physical and functional rehabilitation services in healthcare centers and at community level, as well as MHPSS services, including individual and group counselling. HI is further engaged at the humanitarian coordination level to mainstream disability inclusion throughout the humanitarian response.

HI is scaling up its response from both geographic and modalities/sectorial perspectives.  In particular, HI has deployed emergency response teams in Darfur, to setup its operations and initiate its response in the western parts of Sudan. HI team is present in Darfur since December 2024, implementing inclusive humanitarian action, and basic needs activities (WASH and Food security). HI team is also assessing other sectors such as Functional and Physical rehabilitation, and mutualized logistics. The advertised vacancy is to be part of that team.
