"Actor of a sustainable and shared solidarity"

Created in 1994, TGH, the French international solidarity association based in Lyon, develops and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programs in water, hygiene and sanitation, civil engineering, food security and rural development, socio-educational and psychosocial. TGH currently works in 11 countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Context

On April 25, 2015, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 and an epicenter of 77km north-west of Kathmandu hit Nepal. Two weeks after the disaster, on May 12, a second earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3, whose epicenter was located northeast of Kathmandu has also severely affected the country.

In total, following the two earthquakes, 39 districts (out of 75) were impacted. The latest reports show 8,857 dead and more than 16,808 injured. 602,257 houses were destroyed while more than 285,099 were severely damaged. More broadly, it is estimated that about 8 million people have been affected by the consequences of earthquakes. National disaster response capacity has not been sufficient to meet the scale of need, and Nepal has called for international assistance.

Following an exploratory field mission, TGH conducted emergency and post-emergency intervention in villages in Kavrepalanchok district (Bagmati area, central region of Nepal).

Presentation of the mission

The exploratory mission led by TGH made it possible to evaluate the humanitarian situation, to meet and coordinate with the various actors on the spot, as well as to carry out a post-disaster needs assessment in the districts of Bhaktapur, Kavrepalanchok. and Sindhulpalchok. The latter was conducted in collaboration with the local NGO ARSOW-Nepal (Association for Rural Social Welfare), as well as with the Village Developement Committees

A first project "Emergency Support and Economic Recovery Program, Kavrepalanchok District" was conducted with the support of several donors (Fondation de France, Rhône Alpes Region, Rhône Méditerranée Corse and Adour-Garonne Water Agencies). The project focused on several activities in the following areas: WASH, health, food security and economic recovery. The various actions were carried out in the village of Koshidekha and, for some of them, in 2 other villages (Kharelthok and Sarasyunkharka), in partnership with the local NGO ARSOW. Nepal

In parallel, ARSOW-Nepal has implemented (thanks to funding from the Fondation de France) a major emergency project and reconstruction assistance (food distribution and hygiene kits, road repair, reconstruction schools and school latrines, irrigation canals, etc.) in Sindhupalchok District (Integrated Project of Global Reconstruction).

As the first emergency phase is about to end, TGH conducted with its partner ARSOW-Nepal in May 2016 an assessment of the needs that are still present, and mainly on the reconstruction of community infrastructures, on the themes of access to water, hygiene and sanitation, and the social and economic reconstruction of the population.

A second phase of the Integrated Global Reconstruction Project started on 1st September 2016, for a total duration of 36 months. It is part of the continuity of the project set up by ARSOW.

It proposes post-earthquake reconstruction through an integrated approach, ensuring the reconstruction of houses and infrastructure, WASH activities (water, hygiene and sanitation) and support for economic recovery in targeted villages with special attention provided to the most vulnerable.

This new project aims to strengthen the resilience of populations. The implementation of this project will follow a participatory methodology, integrating both the beneficiaries themselves and the government institutions through steering committees.

TGH is the bearer of the project vis-à-vis the donors (Fdf and AFD) and the Nepalese government. The local partner ARSOW-Nepal is in charge of the implementation of the activities is. As such, a capacity building component of our partner is also included in this project.

The population of the four targeted villages (Thangpaldhap, Thangpalkot, Gunsakot and Bothang - each separated by 1 to 2 hours of walking) represents about 17,000 people, of whom about 13,000 will benefit directly from the project.

During the rainy season (June-September), roads being cut, it is not possible to make the entire journey by vehicle, nor to envisage a regular supply of food products other than those available locally (rice, beans and vegetables). Nevertheless, the site of the project is very pleasant (welcoming population, mountains, rice terraces, etc.) The winter, although less harsh than in France, is however difficult because the houses are neither insulated nor heated.

Travel between villages is by car or motorbike but it is also possible (depending on the configuration of certain villages and access conditions) to be able to access it only on foot (1 to 3 hours of steps) and having to bivouac at night in a village before returning to the base at Thangpaldhap.

Regular shifts are expected in Banepa, where the main office of TGH and the headquarters of ARSOW-Nepal are located and in Chautara, chief town of the district where the local authorities are based. Given the rainy season, these trips will be less frequent from June to September.

The district of Sindhupalchok and the city of Banepa are places where there is little expatriate presence. Most trips are by motorcycle or on foot.

There is no security risk in the intervention zones, and more generally in Nepal.

Mrs. Laure MAYNARD, HR Officer.

The International Potato Center (CIP) leads the roots crops component under the Accelerated Value Chain Development (AVCD) program with financial support from Feed the Future (FtF) of the United State of America International Development (USAID). Under the roots crops component, interventions to develop potato value chain aim to improve market linkages through supporting cooperative development and farmers to improve production and quality. Postharvest storage is key to developing sustainable and consistent markets by enabling cooperatives and their farming members to supply potato over long periods of time avoiding harvest gluts and market scarcities.

The Assignment: Working in close collaboration with county governments, CIP supports potato marketing cooperatives to develop into functioning businesses through collective marketing of members’ potatoes. Postharvest storage presumably improves market access and profits by consistently providing markets with potato regardless of harvest gluts and scarcities, and taking advantage of higher prices during scarcities. However, the socio-economic feasibility of varying types of storage units is not clear. Thus, under AVCD, CIP is seeking a consultant to assess socio-economic feasibility of differing types of storage units targeting differing profiles of user:

• Small-scale individual household storage usually 4 to 10 tonne capacity, relies on managing ambient conditions to improve storage conditions giving moderate control of temperature and relative humidity;
• Ambient storage, normally 50 to 100 tonne capacity, relies on managing ambient conditions to improve storage conditions giving moderate control of temperature and relative humidity;
• Cold storage, 500 to 1000 tonne capacity, using power to maintain temperature and relative humidity at a pre-determined level.

The Consultant will be responsible is to assess the economics of each storage type addressing all costs associated with each storage type, including direct costs and indirect costs, such as potential loss of stored commodity.

Considering each storage type, the study is to elaborate on:

• Economic feasibility and profit margins at specific time intervals of storage, identifying the assumptions and risks;
• Management models for ambient and cold stores considering group dynamics, differing types of storage services (i.e. warehouse receipts, farmer sells to cooperative who then manages sales and risks), and distribution and utilization of storage returns;
• Feasibility of household and ambient storage for storing marketable quantities of potato considering that a 50 tonne storage unit is sufficient for 2 ha of potato production.

The successful Consultant will have:

• MSc or PhD in agricultural economics, postharvest or related sciences;
• In depth knowledge of the technical and economic aspects of postharvest storage including ambient and cold storage;
• Proven experience conducting storage feasibility studies and completing the accompanying report;
• Excellent writing and communication skills.

Conditions: The employment contract will be for one month to complete the study. While this is largely a desk assignment, some field travel within Kenya may be required.

Applicants should apply through CIP’s Job Opportunities website (http://cipotato.org/open-vacancies/), including a 1-page cover letter summarizing their relevance to this position and a bid as outlined below. Deadline to apply is 4^th May, 2018. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

The Applicant is to submit a CV clearly demonstrating experience in socio-economics of ambient (off the grid) and cold (on the grid) postharvest storage at varying scales of perishable commodities and storage management models. The bid is also to indicate the daily rate to conduct any necessary field travel and prepare the report.

CIP does not charge a fee at any stage of the recruitment process (application, interview meeting, processing or training). CIP also does not concern itself with information on applicants’ bank accounts.

"Actor in a sustainable and shared solidarity"

Founded in 1994, TGH is a French international solidarity organization based in Lyon. The association designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programs in the following sectors: water, hygiene and sanitation, civil engineering, food security and rural development, education and psychosocial. TGH is currently operating in 10 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Context

The Regional conflict in Iraq and Syria will complete its fifth year with no rapid end in sight. It has torn apart families, displacing more than 11 million individuals: more than 7 million inside the country and more than four million who have fled the conflict in search of safety in neighboring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq, and further afield in Europe (507,421 persons by the end of September 2015). While Kurdistan Region of Iraq is still hosting around 240 000 Syrians, Iraq has seen major displacement of an estimated three million persons within its borders due to the advance of ISIS and subsequent fight to push them out of Iraq.

The Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosting 97% of the Syrian refugees within Iraq, is also now host to some one million internally displaced persons, constituting a 25% population increase. Furthermore, the KR-I continues to share frontlines of armed conflict in the “disputed” Iraqi territories since the 25^th September Kurdish independence referendum and faces a budgetary crisis which presents serious challenges in the access to services (e.g. education) for displaced and host community populations.

The defeat of ISIS’s last remaining strongholds in Iraq is now leaving ground for reconstruction. However, in places such as West Mosul that have seen severe destruction or remote areas where services are lacking, returns are not happening fast and Iraqi people are still displaced in IDP camps of Ninewa or the East bank of Mosul. The political and military stalemate between the Federal Government and Iraqi Kurdistan is keeping the tension high along the disputed territories. Iraqi elections are putting an additional level of inter-community tensions as military groups contribute to the political shaping of the areas retaken from ISIS. Intra-community tensions within Iraqi Kurdistan are also on the rise in reshuffling of the political landscape after the October 2016 events and the fall of the two historical leaders of the main parties.

Presentation of the mission

TGH worked in Kurdistan from 1995 to 1999 in the education and agriculture sectors to support refugees from Turkey.

Présentation de Triangle Génération Humanitaire

"Acteur d'une solidarité durable et partagée"

Créée en 1994, TGH, association française de solidarité internationale basée à Lyon, élabore et met en œuvre des programmes d'urgence, de réhabilitation et de développement dans les domaines de l'eau, de l'hygiène et de l'assainissement, du génie civil, de la sécurité alimentaire et du développement rural, du socio-éducatif et du psychosocial. TGH travaille actuellement dans 11 pays d’Afrique, d’Asie et du Moyen-Orient.

Contexte

Depuis la chute de son économie au début des années 1980, en raison de déficiences socio-économiques structurelles importantes et d’un secteur agricole faiblement productif, une large part de la population de la Corée du Nord, estimée à plus de 24 millions d’habitants, est très vulnérable en termes de sécurité alimentaire, d’accès à l’eau potable et d’accès aux structures sanitaires et de santé.

D’un dispositif d’urgence d’aide alimentaire aux premiers temps de la crise humanitaire au milieu des années 90, l’aide internationale apportée à la Corée du Nord s’est peu à peu orientée vers des projets de développement et de coopération technique de plus longue durée visant à réduire une malnutrition devenue chronique et à relancer les secteurs de services (eau, assainissement, santé) dont la régression a gravement affecté les conditions de vie de la population.

Présentation de la mission

Présent depuis décembre 2000, TGH a commencé ses activités avec un projet d’appui au secteur agricole. TGH est ensuite intervenu dans différents secteurs : réhabilitation des surfaces cultivées de polders, eau et assainissement, reforestation, pisciculture et soutien aux personnes âgées. Ces projets ont été réalisés grâce aux financements de l’Union Européenne (DEVCO, ECHO), l’Aide Alimentaire Programmée du gouvernement français, SIDA (coopération suédoise), OCHA, les Ambassades d’Allemagne, de Pologne et de Grande Bretagne et la Coopération Suisse.

Actuellement, quatre projets sont en cours :

• Un projet visant au renforcement des capacités de la Fédération Coréenne pour les personnes âgées. Le projet est financé par l’Union Européenne (EuropeAid) et a débuté en avril 2017, pour une durée de 2 ans.

• Un projet visant à l’amélioration de la situation nutritionnelle des enfants grâce à l’augmentation de la production de deux fermes piscicoles dans les provinces de l’ouest du pays, et à l’amélioration des conditions de conservation et des pratiques d’hygiène. Le projet est financé par l’Union Européenne (EuropeAid) et a débuté en janvier 2015, pour une durée de 4 ans.

• Un projet visant à l’amélioration de la situation nutritionnelle des enfants grâce à l’augmentation des productions maraîchères de quatre fermes dans une province du centre du pays, à l’amélioration des systèmes d’irrigation et de fertilisation, et à l’amélioration des conditions de conservation et des pratiques d’hygiène. Le projet est financé par l’Union Européenne (EuropeAid) et a débuté en septembre 2016, pour une durée de 3 ans.

• Un projet visant à l’amélioration de la situation nutritionnelle des enfants grâce à l’augmentation de la production d’une ferme piscicole dans une province du centre du pays, en partenariat avec l’université de Liège (Gembloux Agro Bio-Tech), l’Université Nationale de d‘Agriculture du Vietnam (VNUA) et le Bureau d’Aquaculture coréen. Le projet est financé par l’Union Européenne (EuropeAid) et a débuté en février 2018, pour une durée de 40 mois.

L’équipe est composée de 4 personnels expatriés (1 chef de mission, 2 chefs de projet Sécurité alimentaire, 1 chef de projet Renforcement des capacités) et 11 personnels nationaux (1 officier de liaison, 1 administrateur/logisticien, 4 officiers de projet, 3 chauffeurs, 2 cuisinières/femmes de ménage).

Présentation de TGH

"Acteur d'une solidarité durable et partagée"

Créée en 1994, TGH, association française de solidarité internationale basée à Lyon, élabore et met en œuvre des programmes d'urgence, de réhabilitation et de développement dans les domaines de l'eau, de l'hygiène et de l'assainissement, du génie civil, de la sécurité alimentaire et du développement rural, du socio-éducatif et du psychosocial. TGH travaille actuellement dans 10 pays d’Afrique, d’Europe, d’Asie et du Moyen-Orient.

Présentation de la mission

TGH a débuté son action en RCA en 2007 pour soutenir les populations vulnérables de la préfecture de la Vakaga. Aujourd’hui, l’association intervient en Vakaga dans les secteurs de la sécurité alimentaire, et de l’éducation. TGH reste ainsi l’une des deux seules organisations humanitaires présentes de manière continue dans cette région marginalisée et excentrée. Les projets qu’elle met en œuvre dans la préfecture sont notamment financés par le Comité Interministériel de l’Aide Alimentaire. Des projets sous fonds Bêkou (Union Européenne) et Centre de Crise et de Soutien ont été également soumis.

Parallèlement, l’association s’impose depuis 2011 comme l’un des acteurs humanitaires majeurs de la préfecture de la Ouaka, où elle mène différents projets dans les secteurs de la sécurité alimentaire et des moyens de subsistance, de l'eau, hygiène et assainissement (EHA), et de l'éducation / protection. Elle assure aujourd’hui une assistance d’urgence aux populations déplacées et aux communautés hôtes dans la ville de Bambari, dans l’ensemble des camps de déplacés autour de Bambari ainsi que dans les villes de Grimari et Ngakobo. Les projets que TGH met actuellement en œuvre sont appuyés par des partenaires financiers tels que ECHO, le CDCS, l’AFD, le Fonds Humanitaire, ou encore UNICEF.

A Bangui, où le phénomène des enfants des rues (EDR) connait une progression alarmante, les services de l’antenne mobile mis en place depuis 2014 par TGH garantissent aux enfants un accès à des services socio-éducatifs et médicaux de base, et participent au processus de réunification familiale et de placement en famille d’accueil. TGH assure la protection des enfants des rues par la mise en place d’un dispositif de prévention des abus à leur encontre, financé par l’AFD et l’UNICEF.

La mission est financée à hauteur d’environ 3.5 millions d’euros. L’équipe actuelle est composée d’une dizaine de personnels expatriés, d’environ 90 personnels nationaux, répartis sur les différentes bases opérationnelles (Bangui, Bambari et Birao).
