Context of the position
The French Red Cross (FRC) is operational in Northern Iraq since 2013, especially in Dohuk, Ninewah and Erbil governorates. Focused first on the influx of Syrian refugees, then on the IDP crisis and the challenging displacements and returns of population, the FRC provides assistance in a range of sectors including WASH, livelihoods, education, shelter and relief.
In order to pursue its humanitarian assistance to the IDPs in Ninewah Governorate, the FRC has identified two main actions; one targeting displaced population off camps and a second one targeting IDPs’ camps. Additionally, based on its experience and capacity, the FRC will focus its operation on WASH and livelihood activities.
The regional crisis and its consequences on Iraqi territory, juxtaposed with internal political tensions only highlight the need for FRC’s continuous support in helping the Host National Society in Iraq to build their own capacity to respond to emergencies, including in the local branches.
Moreover, the protracted nature of the conflict in Syria as well as the enhanced pressure on public infrastructures only lead to reduced opportunities for Syrian refugees and displaced people. The FRC, in close collaboration with the IRCS, is addressing these issues through multi-annual programming on livelihood and access to education.
The Iraq delegation currently employs about 45 national staffs and 15 international staffs.
In 2018 the FRC will continue its emergency and recovery assistance for Syrian refugees, Iraqi IDPs, returnees and most vulnerable host communities in the country. This includes in particular for the position of the HR Delegate:
