LIVING CONDITIONS:
The candidate will be based either in Hassake with regular travel to Raqqa and 30% of his/her time in Iraq/Erbil. Hassake requires quite strict security rules.

SECURITY:
Security inside NES is volatile and justifies specific arrangements for accommodation and displacements in the areas of intervention. While the context of Iraq is less volatile than in NES, restrictions of movement in Iraq may occur punctually and can lead to delays in some activities, in particular in Ninewa governorate.
