Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and speaks out to meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. More info: www.hi.org At Handicap International-Humanity & Inclusion, we truely believe in the importance of inclusion and diversity within our organisation. This is why we are engaged to a disability policy to encourage the inclusion and integration of people with disabilities.Please indicate if you require any special accommodation, even at the first interview;In the early 1980s Handicap International's first activities in Pakistan focused on support for refugees and this work continued up until the end of the 1990s. Following a series of natural disasters, the organization returned to Pakistan to support vulnerable people caught up in several humanitarian crises. In 2009, Handicap International started responding to the needs of IDPs and refugees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province, and, in 2010, to the needs of the flood affected populations in both KPK and Sindh provinces. These emergencies, as well as the new floods that hit again Sindh province in 2011, led to a considerable increase in the volume of Handicap International’s activities ranging from response to basic and specific needs of vulnerable persons through a disability and vulnerability approach, WASH, shelter, disaster risk reduction and advocacy on inclusion. Since then, the organization has maintained a continuous presence in the country, through development programs (community-based rehabilitation, disaster risk reduction) as well humanitarian aid to the population victims of the conflict and / or natural disasters. Since January 2014, HI Pakistan is gradually shifting back its programmatic approach towards longer term and development interventions. While keeping its capacity to respond to complex emergencies – which are recurrent in the country – HI will re-position itself to address structural issues.The domains of intervention that Handicap International is focusing on are as follows: Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction, Inclusion and Rights, Rehabilitation and Emergency response. At the moment a three-year funded project in Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction is implemented in Sindh. Program strategy will be developed in 2016 to cover the next 3 years.This Chief of Party position is for a USAID-funded Activity, Learning, Acting and Building for Rehabilitation in Health Systems (ReLAB-HS).
