Votre environnement de travail
Action Against Hunger (ACF) has been operating since 2010 in North East Nigeria and has been able to successfully implement integrated programs in Nutrition, Health, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) and Water, sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). The mission has then expanded its programs gradually, in particular, due to the conflict that emerged in 2017 in Borno state, by working on long-term sustainable programs focused on system strengthening for Health, WASH, Social Protection, and Agriculture sectors. ACF Nigeria also aims to operate in the Northwest of Nigeria. In 2018, ACF launched the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) in order to provide effective and quick humanitarian assistance to the displaced populations in Northern Nigeria. The financial volume in November 2022 was 39 million Euros and there are around 320 national staff and 21 expatriates.
The role is to be based in Maiduguri with frequent travel to the Deep field office locations across the Mission (Borno, Yobe, Sokoto and Dutse).
