We have offices and/or programmes in South Sudan, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Mali, Malawi, Uganda, and Ukraine.In partnership with governments, the private and civil sectors, and local communities, we work to achieve sustainable change through the transformation of national systems to be accountable and inclusive and empower people to access basic services and the support they need to break the cycle of poverty.CGA Technologies is part of Corus International, an ensemble of organisations working in concert to deliver the holistic, lasting solutions needed to overcome these interrelated challenges. Together with our local partners, we reduce poverty at the same time as improving communities’ health.About the Fellowship ProgrammeCGA’s fellowship programme is a scheme to give a cadre of new or recent graduates, with an appetite for experience in international development, an opportunity to build relationships, skills, and experience. The fellowship will provide you with a chance to learn and gain skills in different roles and develop a better understanding of the development and humanitarian sectors and different aspects of developmental and humanitarian programming.As a fellow, you will have the opportunity to work on projects that based match your skills, experience, and interests. You will be a key part of our team, working closely with senior CGA staff, and we will expect you to use your skills and abilities to contribute to the successful implementation of our projects.

Since then, we have hired more than twenty Fellows through this scheme who have been involved in all our key projects. Our fellows have worked throughout South Sudan, Malawi and Sierra Leone, working on projects funded by the UK, EU, Germany, the World Bank, UNICEF, Save the Children, and foundations.Almost all our previous Fellows are still engaged in International Development: a number still with us in increasingly senior roles while others have gone on to other opportunities. Some have joined the United Nations system, serving in South Sudan and Afghanistan amongst other places; others are with NGOs or humanitarian organisations; others have joined governmental departments in the UK, EU and Netherlands; some have returned to academia.In terms of speciality areas, we have fellows who brought or went on to develop specialised skills and experience in education, cash transfer programming, health, software development and advanced data analysis and visualisation skills.What We are Looking ForWe are looking for high-achieving, high-potential colleagues to come and join our team. Following induction, our new fellows might start working in one of our country offices (Malawi, Sierra Leone, or South Sudan), but can potentially go anywhere we work.We particularly welcome applicants from or with ties to the Global South.

Context

La province de l’Ituri compte entre 3,5 et 5,5 millions d’habitants et 18 ethnies. Quatre milices ethniques se sont structurées en fonction des affiliations claniques traditionnelles. Les attaques et tueries des ADF dans la province voisine du Nord-Kivu continuent à déverser des milliers de déplacés en Ituri et les tueries perpétrées contre la population civile obligent les habitants à se déplacer vers les lieux plus sécurisés dans la province de l’Ituri. L’état de siège dans les provinces de l'Ituri et du Nord-Kivu, ont pour but de restaurer la paix, alors que ces provinces subissent les attaques de groupes armés. Malgré ces efforts, le cycle de violence et l’insécurité ainsi que les atrocités continuent à sévir dans la province de l’Ituri. Ces conflits ont comme mode opératoire, la manipulation des jeunes et enfants qui se retrouvent ainsi victimes de ce cycle de violence et reste affectés par le chômage, pauvreté et le manque de vision pour l’avenir. A ce jour, aucun programme de démobilisation n’est opérationnel malgré la volonté des autorités d’intégrer ces jeunes dans la société. En 2022, l’Ituri compte 2.200.000 personnes en situation de déplacement dont 660.000 retournés. Au moins 50% de ces personnes déplacées sont les enfants, adolescents et jeunes. Un programme de Paix et sécurité ciblant les jeunes est plus recommandable pour contribuer à la réduction des conflits ainsi qu’à la cohabitation pacifique dans la province de l’Ituri.

Living conditions and remarks
Les conditions de vie à Bunia sont assez bonnes, avec toutes les commodités habituelles. L'hébergement est cher à Bunia mais pour la nourriture, les marchés locaux offrent une alternative beaucoup moins chère en dehors des possibilités de vente dans les supermarchés. Bunia est considéré comme un lieu d'affectation sans famille, et en plus de l'insécurité liée à la situation sécuritaire volatile ainsi qu'à diverses situations de conflit, certains endroits autour de Bunia sont sujets à une augmentation de la criminalité. La capacité à vivre et à travailler dans des conditions difficiles et rudes dans cette zone du pays est essentielle.

Living conditions and remarks
The Democratic Republic of Congo is the second largest country in Africa, and as a result is quite diverse. Living conditions therefore vary between MONUSCO duty stations, with all usual amenities present in the capital Kinshasa, but only very basic conditions in remote duty stations in the provinces, where, for instance, there may be no guarantee of public power supply nor running water. The ability to live and work in difficult and harsh conditions of developing countries is essential. Accommodation is very expensive in both Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. Supermarkets exist in the large towns (e.g. Bukavu, Kisangani), but consumer items are generally very expensive (as everything is imported). For food, local markets offer a much cheaper alternative. All MONUSCO duty stations are considered non-family duty stations, except for Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Entebbe which are now considered family duty stations, and most are currently under UN Security Phase III (“relocation phase”: internationally-recruited staff are temporarily concentrated or relocated to specified sites/locations). In addition to insecurity related to the relatively volatile political situation as well as various conflict situations, certain places are subject to increasing street and residential crime, including in Kinshasa and Goma. Some degree of medical service is provided in all MONUSCO duty stations. Certain vaccinations are mandatory for MONUSCO personnel to enter the DRC, while others are compulsory for all other incoming persons. It is possible for incoming MONUSCO personnel, including UN Volunteers, to be asked to provide proof of some or all vaccinations, though this is unlikely. All UN Volunteers must ensure that they are up-to-date with all appropriate vaccinations, which should be clearly and properly endorsed in the International Certificate of Vaccination (“carte jaune”). Malaria is present virtually throughout the DRC, and it is therefore recommended to take prophylaxis. The unit of currency is the Congolese Franc. The US dollar is the other preferred currency. It may be impossible to exchange traveller’s checks away from the capital city. Credit cards are usually accepted in major hotels only in Kinshasa. In larger towns and cities (e.g. Kinshasa, Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani), UN Volunteers are recommended to open US Dollar bank accounts, while in other places, banks may be absent (including ATMs) and VLA payments will be processed in cash. UN Volunteers have the possibility to send part of their allowances to a bank account abroad. In addition to French, there are four major spoken languages in DRC, namely Lingala, Kikongo, Tshiluba and Swahili.

Mission and objectives

UNHCR's primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. In its efforts to achieve this objective, UNHCR strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, and to return home voluntarily.

Context

The Office of the UNHCR was established on 14 December 1950 by the UN General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and re-solve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country (www.unhcr.org). Repeated cycles of violence and conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR) have had spill over effects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with the two countries sharing a 1,500km border. In 2021, UNHCR biometrically registered 73,645 CAR refu-gees and asylum-seekers who had fled violence and insecurity following the 2020 presi-dential election, seeking safety in northern DRC. Small population movements involving people fleeing ongoing disarmament operations by the CAR government and its allies, or inter-ethnic conflicts in some prefectures of CAR causing forced displacements con-tinue to be reported by local authorities. As of 31 May 2022, about 209,495 CAR refu-gees have found refuge in the DRC. About 25 per cent of all CAR refugees live in five camps, while 75 per cent are spread across remote and hard-to-reach border villages in the provinces of North Ubangi (114,792), Bas Uele (49,305) and South Ubangi (44,910), while about 400 others are in the capital - Kinshasa and a couple of other provinc-es. In 2021, UNHCR and partners began implementing the alternative to camps policy that aligns with the Global Compact on Refugees. This policy seeks to strengthen pro-tection and assistance to refugees as well as support the communities hosting them through a series of activities aimed at improving access to social and economic ser-vices. In line with this policy, UNHCR has identified 10 villages in North and South Ubangi provinces to serve as development hubs. Four of these hubs are progressively being operationalized. They are Sidi, Nzakara, Wenze and Modale to which a total of about 16,404 refugees have already been relocated. UNHCR and partners have also continued to pursue durable solutions for CAR refugees in northern DRC, notably through voluntary repatriations since 2019. As of 30 June 2022, about 13,998 persons have been repatriated from Inke, Mole and Boyabu camps in North Ubangi and South Ubangi to parts of CAR where the security situation has been confirmed as stable. UN-HCR plans to facilitate returns for 20,000 persons in 2022. About 3,344 refugees have already gone back home since the relaunch of the operation in May. The Sub-Office manages one Field Office in Libenge, one Field Office in Yakoma et one Field Unit in Bili with approximatively 80 workforce.

Task description

Under the direct supervision of the Head of Sub Office, the UN Volunteer will undertake the following tasks: • Keep abreast all developments in operations to prepare appropriate briefings and reports. • Prepare periodic reports, i.e. donor updates, internal sitreps, briefing notes for senior managers, and activity-specific reports as required. • Prepare funding submissions for donors, and draft any required after-action reports. • Develop and maintain working relationships with the government, NGOs, and UN agencies to ensure cooperation in inter-related activities. • Support the UNHCR-led Cluster activities by preparing and distributing minutes, assisting in the organization of meetings; occasionally chairing meetings, and serving as the general secretariat for the relevant Cluster. • Support the supervisor in preparation for meetings and missions drafting of talking points. • Organize and accompany missions for VIP visitors, delegates to visit refugee sites or the activities of UNHCR implementing partners. • If there is no Public Information (PI) focal point in country, serve as PI focal point, contributing to and coordinating press events, interviews, PI missions and other activities related to information dissemination to the general public to promote UNHCR activities.

Other information

Living conditions and remarks
Staff members may either live at UNHCR Guesthouse or in town where limited accommodation may be found. Gbadolite has a population of about some 180,000 inhabitants (latest 2018 data) and is located 25 kilometers south from Mobayi which is a town established at the Ubangi River. The Ubangi is the border with the Central African Republic and Gbadolite is situated at some 1,150 kilometers northeast of Kinshasa. Gbadolite was the ancestral home and residence of Joseph-Desire Mobutu (President of Zaire from 1965 to 1997) but also the area of Bemba. There is electricity thanks to the dam at Mobayi but it happens the electricity supply breaks down for some days or weeks and generator back up is required. The quality of the water is poor and most of the time is not available at nighttime. Housing opportunities are also very poor and ex-pensive for rather low quality. The climate for most of the year is characterized by humid and hot temperatures while the rainy season brings into surface crawling reptiles and insects. There are very limited medical facilities in Gbadolite that are not equipped to deal with serious medical cases. Evacuation opportunities are limited since there are only 2 flights per week. However, air ambulance evacuation can be organized for life threatening emergencies during day time. Candidates with conditions requiring regular treatment or medical supervision should be appropriately advised. Malaria is the most common disease. As a general advice, applicants for the post should be psychologically prepared for the aforementioned context. The Office is of the view that, all things being equal, the two-year SAL should be upheld to avoid burnout. There is an R&R cycle of 8 weeks. There is one good banking facility at Gbadolite and good network from the office, PAMA and Wifiease complete with the required information as per country Living Conditions)

Other information

Living conditions and remarks
The Democratic Republic of Congo is the second largest country in Africa, and as a result is quite diverse. Living conditions therefore vary between MONUSCO duty stations, with all usual amenities present in the capital Kinshasa, but only very basic conditions in remote duty stations in the provinces, where, for instance, there may be no guarantee of public power supply nor running water. The ability to live and work in difficult and harsh conditions of developing countries is essential. Accommodation is very expensive in both Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. Supermarkets exist in the large towns (e.g. Bukavu, Kisangani), but consumer items are generally very expensive (as everything is imported). For food, local markets offer a much cheaper alternative. All MONUSCO duty stations are considered non-family duty stations, except for Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Entebbe which are now considered family duty stations, and most are currently under UN Security Phase III (“relocation phase”: internationally-recruited staff are temporarily concentrated or relocated to specified sites/locations). In addition to insecurity related to the relatively volatile political situation as well as various conflict situations, certain places are subject to increasing street and residential crime, including in Kinshasa and Goma. Some degree of medical service is provided in all MONUSCO duty stations. Certain vaccinations are mandatory for MONUSCO personnel to enter the DRC, while others are compulsory for all other incoming persons. It is possible for incoming MONUSCO personnel, including UN Volunteers, to be asked to provide proof of some or all vaccinations, though this is unlikely. All UN Volunteers must ensure that they are up-to-date with all appropriate vaccinations, which should be clearly and properly endorsed in the International Certificate of Vaccination (“carte jaune”). Malaria is present virtually throughout the DRC, and it is therefore recommended to take prophylaxis. The unit of currency is the Congolese Franc. The US dollar is the other preferred currency. It may be impossible to exchange traveller’s checks away from the capital city. Credit cards are usually accepted in major hotels only in Kinshasa. In larger towns and cities (e.g. Kinshasa, Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani), UN Volunteers are recommended to open US Dollar bank accounts, while in other places, banks may be absent (including ATMs) and VLA payments will be processed in cash. UN Volunteers have the possibility to send part of their allowances to a bank account abroad. In addition to French, there are four major spoken languages in DRC, namely Lingala, Kikongo, Tshiluba and Swahili.
