JOB CONTEXT:

HI is re-opening a two-country program covering Ukraine and Moldova.

In Ukraine, HI aims at intervening in the West and East of the country, adapting modalities of intervention to the various and diverging contexts of implementation. Aligning itself with the priorities of the Ukraine Flash Appeal HI pillars of interventions are the following:

· Health

· Protection

· Basic needs: Humanitarian-to-humanitarian logistics

In Moldova, with arrivals increasing rapidly and now reaching close to 400,000, authorities are stretched to the limit and have asked for urgent support including on: MHPSS assistance, social assistance mechanisms and targeting of assistance (likely via cash-based transfers), protection including related to gender-based violence (GBV) as well as Child Protection (CP) and related prevention measures, identification of persons at risks/survivors and appropriate referrals to existing services. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe with a population of only 2.6 million, making it the country with the most refugees per-capita. In a context of already high inflation, the refugee crisis has had unprecedented social and economic consequences for Moldova’s government economy, straining basic services, reducing trade and investment, increasing pressure on scarce natural resources, and, at times, jeopardizing the country’s stability and development prospects. Based on its current analysis of the needs, HI aims at:

• Improving access to quality health (including rehabilitation and mental health and psychosocial support) and protection services (i.e. identification; orientation/information; referrals and tailored support to access existing services) for conflict-affected vulnerable populations

• Fostering disability-inclusive humanitarian response through evidence-based advocacy and capacity building of humanitarian actors and coordination mechanisms.

HI is also exploring a Basic Needs response.
