Votre environnement de travail
A total of 7.6 million Ukrainian refugees remain overseas and a further 5.1 million remain internally displaced in Ukraine. Currently, an estimated 17.6 million people within Ukraine require humanitarian assistance, including the need of food, water and medicines.
5.7 million refugees have crossed the Polish border, 591,947 refugees have crossed the Moldavian border and 1.1 milli refugees the Romanian border.
This situation has led ACF France to open Country Offices, in Ukraine, Poland and Romania and ACF Spain in Moldova.
ACF has deployed a regional multi-sectorial strategy through direct implementation and partnership. Core activities are Food Security & Livelihood (canned and dry food distribution, hot meals, cash) and Mental Health & Care Practices (psychosocial support, PFA training, Baby Friendly Space, psychiatric referrals). Additionally, in Ukraine the strategy also includes WASH activities (rehabilitation/repair of centralized water and sanitation networks, minor repair of Collective/Transit Centers, emergency Water supply and hygiene kit distribution) as well as Health & Nutrition (primary health care structures support including provision of medicines and trainings).
In Ukraine ACF currently intervenes in the East (Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumska and Zapporizhzhia), the West (Ivano Frankivsk and Chernivtsi) and is extending its coverage to the southern part of the country (Odessa and Mykolaiv).

Pourquoi nous rejoindre ?
The Ukraine crisis is one of the largest displacement events - and humanitarian responses - of recent history. The scale and scope of ACF's activities and operations is significant. This role offers an opportunity for a developing humanitarian programmes professional to help support meaningful humanitarian aid to an ever-growing population in need. As this is a new and expanding emergency, the postholder will be able to help build and implement the programme strategy, as well as to hopefully expand to new geographical areas in 2024.
