Recruitment Notice: 07 DRIVERS – FM Project

RECRUITMENT NOTICE N°021.052023/RH/CCMR

CONTEXT

CARE is one of the largest humanitarian aid networks in the world, apolitical and non-denominational that supports and manages emergency and development projects by involving communities, collaborating with local partners. Our objective is to fight against all forms of poverty, to defend access to fundamental rights, to combat social injustice. Supporting women’s empowerment and acting for their rights are essential actions in the fight against poverty, which is why women are at the heart of our programs. CARE is present in 100 countries and through the implementation of nearly 1000 emergency and development projects.

In Cameroon since 1978, CARE develops and implements 3 action programs (broken down into several projects) in response to humanitarian crises and support for sustainable development. They are part of the phases of emergency, resilience of women and young people, access to sexual health and reproduction of the populations most at risk, including PLHIV.

The geographic presence and activities of CARE International in Cameroon have been expanded since the beginning of 2023 with the opening of new offices. The positioning of CCMR as a Principal Recipient (PR) within the framework of the HIV/TB community grant of the NFM3 funding expands our presence throughout the National territory. To this end, CARE is looking for:
