Are you interested in working with and for refugees and displacement affected communities? Are you eager to develop innovative anticipatory action approaches to help prevent and better respond to displacement crises? Then we have an offer you should know about.
Who Are We?
Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an international humanitarian organization with operations in 40 countries dedicated to assisting, protecting, and finding solutions for refugees, internally displaced and other conflict-affected communities. To stay relevant and meet the needs of the people we serve, we are exploring new, innovative ways of responding to displacement crises.
For the past years, DRC has increasingly engaged in anticipatory action responses related to both climate hazards and conflict-induced displacement, and has developed innovative tools to forecast displacement to enable humanitarian actors to get ahead of crises. We have implemented several projects in response to drought, floods and conflict-induced displacement in both East Africa and West Africa and are now expanding and scaling up this work to additional countries and regions.
About The Job
The Danish Refugee Council is looking for a highly experienced Global Lead on Anticipatory Action to provide technical leadership for the global Anticipatory Humanitarian Action for Displacement (AHEAD) project. This four-year project, funded by the Dutch MFA will develop anticipatory action (AA) data models and approaches using local and global data for analysis to contribute towards mitigation and prevention of displacement, and to help inform humanitarian actors’ decisions when deploying assistance – to enable timelier, dignified, efficient and sustainable assistance.
Under the management of the project’s Chief of Party, the Global Lead on Anticipatory Action will assume overall technical responsibility for the project, will provide technical management and support to the project’s regional and country office-based AA staff, will chair the project’s technical advisory group and will contribute to advocacy and external engagement related to AA, disaster risk reduction and resilience strengthening.
