CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Project Officers DEPARTMENT/ASSIGNMENT: Caritas
LOCATION: Maroua, Far North Cameroon.
SUPERVISOR: Permanent Secretary of Caritas
DURATION OF CONTRACT: 12 months with strong possibility of extension
CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION
The CDD/Caritas is a development organization created by the diocese of Maroua-Mokolo
in the Far North Region. It was born in May 1982, from the diocesan will to provide
local populations, plagued by many difficulties, with a development service for the whole man
and for all men. It has been officially declared as an association since June 8, 2006 under number
079/RDA/K22/BAPP.

However, for more than 3 years, the entire Far North Region has been plunged into insecurity.
Many Cameroonians are forced to flee their villages to settle further
inland, following multiple attacks by the Islamist group Boko Haram. This situation has created
a humanitarian crisis in the Far North region that requires an appropriate response to
improve the living conditions of the populations.
In this context, Caritas, the humanitarian branch of the CDD, is implementing a
humanitarian aid project in the departments of Mayo-Tsanaga, Mayo-Sava and Diamaré. The objective of the project is
to improve the socio-economic conditions of internally displaced, returnee and refugee populations.
To implement this project, Caritas is looking for two Livelihood Project
Managers in MAROUA. The person will be based in Maroua.
