As part of its humanitarian activities,

AN ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEE

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 , 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).

In 2022 PUI set up an RRM in the West region. Indeed, in recent years, Cameroon has been facing an internal crisis in the English-speaking regions of the North West and South West (NOSO). 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 significant displacements of populations fleeing to areas considered safer, particularly in the Littoral and West regions.
PUI wishes to continue assisting displaced persons from NOSO in the West region and extending the RRM to the Littoral region in 2023. In

this context, PUI is recruiting an Administrative Employee.
