Contract Type: No immediate contract – Prequalification of potential candidates ONLY.
Prequalification Period: October 2023 – December 2024
Background:
- Somaliland/Somalia:
HI has been present in Somaliland since 1992, with currently over 73 employees on site. HI started by setting up a rehabilitation center in Hargeisa. HI’s strategy in Somaliland is to advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities and to engage development actors to promote inclusion and participation of people with disabilities at local and national level. In 2017 when severe droughts occurred, HI decided to respond to the crisis along two axes: inclusion mainstreaming for NGOs working on the humanitarian response, and stimulation therapy for malnourished children. During the last years, HI also set itself as a key actor in regards to emergency response to most at-risk displaced and host community population with a focus on protection and psychosocial support.
- Ethiopia:
HI has been operating in Ethiopia since 1986, with the provision of rehabilitation services for refugees in the Somali regional state. This led to rehabilitation units to be set up in eleven hospitals (from 1996 to 2000). Ever since, Handicap International extended its activities by launching a mine risk education project and to support the repatriation of refugees living in Ethiopia; and HI diversified its operations to meet needs and improve the quality of life of vulnerable persons and people with disabilities and to answer to emergency situations.
Key sectors/areas of intervention:
