Solidarités International (SI) has not been active in Nigeria in the past and therefore has a limited experience in the country. SI sent a first exploratory team in Nigeria (North-Eastern States) for three weeks in April. A continued presence of senior managers has been maintained since mid-May in Borno state and Abuja.
Organization of the mission
The mission has one coordination based in Abuja, composed of one Head of Mission, one administrative coordinator and one program coordinator. The project will be based in Maiduguri and implemented by an expatriate project manager, with a field coordinator, as well as a one month support from a MEAL coordinator. The support team will be composed in Maiduguri of one administrator and one logistic coordinator.
Job Title: Head of Mission – Nigeria
Locations: Abuja, Maiduguri [if possible, accessible areas of the north-western states (Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Gombe)]
Background of the Mission
Following several alerts raised in 2015 by Action Against Hunger (ACF) and Doctors without Borders (MSF), SI has been considering for the last 5 months a further intervention in Nigeria, and specifically in the north-western states (Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Gombe), impacted by the presence of Boko Haram and by the fighting between this non-state armed group (NSAG) and the Nigerian military forces.
Following a desk review period of 2 months, the emergency desk has sent a team composed of three persons (one head of mission, one WASH coordinator, one logistician) for a 20 days exploratory mission in Abuja and in Maiduguri. The scope of this mission was to establish contact with all relevant stakeholders, launch the registration process and determine how and through which angle it would be relevant and feasible for SI to open a mission. The conclusion of the exploration was that it would be relevant for SI to open a mission in Nigeria: the uncovered needs are high, the security situation slightly improved as well as the access, the funding is not yet available but should be in the future and there is a clear added value of having an emergency oriented NGO such as SI in this context.
