UNHCR was created in 1950, during the aftermath of the Second World War, to help millions of Europeans who had fled or lost their homes. We had three years to complete our work and then disband. Today, over 65 years later, our organization is still hard at work, protecting and assisting refugees around the world.<\/p>\n
We are recruiting to fill the position below:<\/p>\n
Job Title:\u00a0Senior Administrative Assistant<\/strong> Requirements Desirable Qualifications & Competencies:<\/p>\n Application Deadline\u00a0<\/strong>17th July, 2018.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0Senior Protection Assistant<\/strong> Organizational Context<\/strong> The Senior Protection Assistant will contribute to strengthening the coordination of members\u2019 activities and the exchange of all protection-related information in the country, including through regular communication with Protection Sector actors (governmental, non-governmental and UN). He\/she will maintain linkages with Protection Sector Sub-Working Groups (SWGs), chiefly the Child Protection and Gender-Based Violence SWGs, and will support the UNHCR protection unit in ensuring the centrality of protection in the humanitarian response in Nigeria through effective mainstreaming of protection across all sectors.<\/p>\n He\/she will stay abreast of protection standards, operational procedures and practices in protection delivery in line with international standards and provide functional protection support to other units, including information management, external relations and programme staff.<\/p>\n Operational Context<\/strong> Ongoing conflict and counter-insurgency measures have resulted in severe humanitarian crisis and large scale forced displacement across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States. An estimated 6.7 million civilians are in need of protection services and have experienced grave human rights abuses including abductions, sexual abuse, forced marriage and witnessing first hand violence to family members. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced, 79% of which are women and children; 6 out of 10 IDPs are in host communities. Insecurity continues to restrict humanitarian access to an estimated 930,000 people in several LGAs particularly in the Borno. In August 2016, UNHCR declared a Level 3 emergency to respond to the humanitarian crisis in North East of Nigeria.<\/p>\n Since 2015, over 1 million displaced persons have made the return journey to their areas of origin or areas closer to their homes. This includes over 388,000 Nigerian refugees who have returned from neighbouring countries mainly from Cameroon and Niger. Many returns have fallen short of international standards on voluntariness, safety and dignity, including refoulement, and populations have returned to dire situations of secondary displacement, with shortages of basic needs\/services including food, water, shelter and health. Most of returning refugees are in secondary displacement situations as they have not been able to return to their places of origin. Similarly, attempted returns of IDPs are not always successful or sustainable. While the desire by some IDPs and refugees to return to their places of origin remains a priority, concerns persist that conditions in those areas are not yet conducive for such returns, particularly in Borno State. Returning IDPs may not be sufficiently informed regarding remaining threats, including IEDs and unexploded devices, and may be incentivised by assistance, political agendas, and push or pull factors.<\/p>\n UNHCR Nigeria\u2019s aim is to support the government to establish an effective coordination and protection system for refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs, stateless persons, returnees and other persons of concern, with a particular emphasis on protection-focused response to the displacement crisis in the North East. The office provides targeted protection services to the most vulnerable IDPs, IDP returnees and refugee returnees in coordination and complementarity of the efforts of authorities at the national and State levels, UN partners and NGOs. UNHCR Nigeria utilizes a rights-based protection approach to implement activities, incorporating age gender and diversity analysis and focusing on strengthening community-based protection mechanisms.<\/p>\n Duties And Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n The incumbent will have the following responsibilities:<\/p>\n Essential Minimum Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n Desirable Qualifications & Competencies:<\/p>\n Application Deadline\u00a0<\/strong>18th July, 2018. <\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0Shelter Associate<\/strong> Operational Context<\/strong><\/p>\n Duties and Responsibilities<\/strong> Essential Minimum Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n Desirable Qualifications & Competencies:<\/p>\n Application Deadline\u00a0<\/strong>17th July, 2018.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0Senior Data Management Assistant<\/strong> Core Duties and Responsibilities<\/strong> Essential Minimum Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n Desirable Qualifications & Competencies:<\/p>\n Application Deadline\u00a0<\/strong>17th July, 2018.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0Security Associate<\/strong> Core Duties And Responsibilities<\/strong> Essential Minimum Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n Desirable Qualifications & Competencies:<\/p>\n Application Deadline\u00a0<\/strong>17th July, 2018.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0WASH Associate<\/strong> Organizational Context<\/strong><\/p>\n Core Duties And Responsibilities<\/strong> Technical Assistance:<\/p>\n Monitoring, Evaluation and Quality Assurance:<\/p>\n Reporting:<\/p>\n Coordination:<\/p>\n Essential Minimum Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n Desirable Qualifications & Competencies:<\/p>\n Application Deadline\u00a0<\/strong>17th July, 2018.<\/p>\n How To Apply<\/strong> Note<\/strong><\/p>\n
