JOB OFFER (EXTERNAL)

the French association Première Urgence Internationale is looking for:

A TRAINEE ASSISTANT LOGISTICIAN-ADMINISTRATOR BASE
Context

Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a Non-Governmental Organization of international solidarity, non-profit, apolitical and secular. Its objective is to meet all the basic needs of civilian victims endangered, marginalized or excluded by the effects of natural disasters, wars and situations of economic collapse. PUI is present in 22 countries, in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Caucasus and the Caribbean, and operates in the areas of food security, health, nutrition, infrastructure rehabilitation, water and sanitation and economic recovery.

 

 

PUI has been present in Cameroon since 2008, first on the East / Adamaoua front then in the Far North (EN) in 2014/2015, via its base in Maroua. It carries out emergency and recovery activities in Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH), Nutritional Food Security and Livelihoods (SANME), Essential Household Items (AME)/Shelter. Since 2017, PUI has expanded into Logone-et-Chari (LC) from its base in Kousseri where teams carry out projects in SANME EHA, Abri AME as part of the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM)
Since 2016, Cameroon has been facing an unprecedented internal crisis in the English-speaking North West and South West (NOSO) regions. This crisis, initially based on corporatist demands from lawyers and teachers, gradually shifted towards strong secessionist demands and violent armed clashes.
These events lead to major displacements of populations fleeing to areas considered safer, particularly in the West region, which is one of the main reception points for the displaced, mainly in the departments of Menoua, Bamboutos and Noun.

 

 

The most recent data collected by IOM and OCHA estimate as of 15 September 2021 that there were 84,927 displaced people in the West region, mainly in the departments of Menoua (18,761), Bamboutos (22,131 ) and Noun (19,061). 42% of these displaced persons, or approximately 37,000 people, were displaced during and before 2018. Approximately 7,994 of the displaced persons, or 9%, were displaced between January and July 2021. specify that these figures fluctuate rapidly due to the many pendular movements that characterize the area.

Although the conflict is mainly localized in the North-West and South-West regions, we are witnessing an upsurge in attacks in the border regions, particularly in the West.

In this context, PUI is recruiting a Logistics Trainee-Base Administrator.

Overall objective:

Under the direct responsibility of the Base Field Coordinator, the Assistant Logistician/Base Administrator trainee participates in the implementation of the administrative and logistical activities of the base in order to provide the means necessary for the running of the programs that Première Urgence Internationale develops in the East, Adamaoua, North and Far North Regions of Cameroon.
