  • Support alignment with DRC core sectors and response framework in emergency activities, processes, tools, and protocols with a focus on preparedness, emergency and humanitarian programming quality and innovation and localized emergency and humanitarian action.
  • Lead thematic initiatives to develop policy, guidance and tools on relevant preparedness, emergency and humanitarian programming topics such as localisation, climate, anticipatory action, early recovery, centrality of protection, hard to reach demographic groups and Core Humanitarian Standards.
  • Support global organizational preparedness actions including capacity development and mobilization and allocation of resources to enable response scale up and delivery against DRC internal emergency response requirements.

  • Excellent communication skills and intercultural competencies.
  • A university degree at minimum bachelor’s level.

We offer

Contract length: 2 years. The position is temporary due to limited funding for the position. Salary and conditions will be in accordance with the agreement between DRC and AC at “fuldmægtig” level. This is a national position for which local terms and conditions apply.
