Handicap International/Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization, which intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters.

More info: www.hi.org

HI is committed to an employment policy in favour of persons with disabilities.

JOB CONTEXT:

HI have been intervening in Yemen on and off for the last 12 years, with its actions initially focused on development issues, notably through the support to the development of physical and functional rehabilitation services for people with disabilities as well as through the capacity-building of the national networks of Yemen Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs).

Since 2015, HI interventions have been adapted to the current context of conflict in Yemen. With the support of different donors, HI has been supporting two hospitals and one physical and functional rehabilitation centre, building the capacities of their key staff in early rehabilitation care and psychological first aid (including specifically for children), supplying rehabilitation equipment, and directly providing functional rehabilitation care and psychosocial support to war affected people (including through the donation of assistive devices and provision of Prosthesis). In 2017, these activities have extended to new facilities through the country.

Now in 2022, HI is implementing these activities in 6 governorates (Amanat Al Asimah, Hajjah, Al Hodeidah, Taizz, Aden and Lahj governorates) from 14 health facilities and rehabilitation centres.

In parallel, HI is implementing inclusive humanitarian action, by increasingly piloting inclusive interventions and promoting disability inclusive coordination and programming through coordination system and the Inclusion Task Force in Yemen, and through technical support and capacity development to UN agencies, NGO’s and increasingly to networks and focal points of persons with disabilities, and awareness raising activity with communities. In addition, HI has started to implement humanitarian mine action activities in the south of Yemen from 2022.
