INTERSOS Regional Director, East and Central Africa Jobs in Kenya
General context of the project
INTERSOS is a humanitarian organisation founded in 1992, working on the frontlines of crisis situations. In its countries of operation, INTERSOS intervenes to assist the most vulnerable populations affected by conflicts, extreme poverty, natural and manmade disasters in challenging and hard-to-reach areas, where the humanitarian needs continue to be the greatest and where the humanitarian presence is often weak.
In such contexts, INTERSOS focuses on providing forcibly displaced populations and host communities with life-saving humanitarian assistance, in the areas of Protection, Health & Nutrition, as well as WASH and Shelter. INTERSOS operations are guided by its Charter of Values and by the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence.
Every intervention is characterized by the centrality of the human being, the principle from which INTERSOS values descend. Specifically, INTERSOS is borderless, impartial, independent, sensitive to local cultures, attentive to local capacity, professional in solidarity, and transparent. INTERSOS also adheres to the Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief.
INTERSOS Programmes Department consists of four Regional Offices based in Amman, Dakar, Nairobi and Rome. The Programmes Department also includes the Protection and Medical Units, which provide technical support to INTERSOS operations. As of December 2022, INTERSOS is operational in 23 countries.
We recognize diversity as a core value for the Organization, in line with its fundamental principles. INTERSOS is, therefore, committed to creating an inclusive workplace environment that promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion. INTERSOS encourages applications from qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds, regardless of age, gender identity, race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, or nationality.
INTERSOS has been active in the East and Central Africa region since 1992 and is currently present in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic. Additionally, the regional office also oversees the activities in Tunisia and Libya.
Teams count over 550 members, including around 35 expatriate employees, and the region has supported more than 5 million persons in 2022. Using data from the field to draw the attention of the humanitarian community to the vulnerabilities, INTERSOS is an active member of the national INGO Fora. The UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, the Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs (BHA), the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, and private foundations are important donors.
