Please be aware that due to the rapid scale up of our programme in Mali, we will long list applications as they are received, and may contact applicants for interviews or appoint suitable candidates prior to the closing date.
This is a call for applications for the position of a French speaking Humanitarian Advocacy and Media Officer to be based in Bamoko.
BACKGROUND
The situation of agricultural production is characterized by early rains unevenly distributed in time and space with negative impacts in the harvest and the quality of pasture, the early drying up of ponds that were not fed as in previous years, the presence of seed-eating birds and grasshoppers. The impacts are already visible on people and their livestock. Among the areas most at risk of food insecurity in Mali, the regions of Kayes, Koulikoro and Gao are the most important. In response, Oxfam is scaling up its activities in Gao, Kayes et potentially Koulikoro, which are the main food security intervention areas of Oxfam Affiliates in Mali (OGB, Oxfam America, Oxfam Novib and Oxfam Belgique).
The upcoming 'hunger gap' or 'lean period' of 2012 is expected to be as harsh as in 2005, the severely eroded livelihoods of agricultural, agro-pastoral and pastoral communities throughout much of the regions are still too fragile to withstand the inevitable hardship ahead. Oxfam GB have committed to work with national governments and the international community to help communities through the 2012 lean period and on to a lasting recovery.
This is a slow-onset crisis and therefore mobilisation of actors and funds is a challenge at present times but we foresee large operations. For this purpose, Oxfam is scaling-up its teams and enhancing networks of allies. We are looking for humanitarian advocacy and communictions experts to manage the food security response in relationship with our partners working in the areas of intervention.
To prevent, mitigate and plan the response, Oxfam has developed and overall response strategy for the food crisis, including both EFSL and WASH interventions. The strategy is organized in three main phases: the first phase, aimed at strengthening the resilience avoiding the depletion of the livelihoods assets of the very poor and poor families; the second phase during the hunger/lean period aiming at increasing the access to food and the fight against malnutrition and the third phase, to support an early recovery of the most vulnerable families. The objective of the third phase is to guarantee also a link with the development projects that the organization is implementing in the area currently affected by the crisis. Advocay and community vulnerability indicators monitoring complete these actions.
Oxfam will continue attending the coordination meeting and the active participation in the framework of the FONGIM, particularly the Working Group about Food Security (GTSA). Coordination will be sought also with the State technical services, the civil society organizations and the UN Agencies (mainly WFP and UNICEF). The communication and advocacy strategy for the food crisis will follow the guidelines and priorities that are currently being prepared at Regional level, to guarantee an integrated approach with the other Oxfam offices in the Sahel Region. Special attention will be given in disseminating the results of the SWG Report "Escaping the Hunger cycle" and the wider application of the HEA methodology among the different actors working in the food security sector at local and national level.
Oxfam is one of the few agencies in Mali with the capacity and mandate to be able to respond in advocacy and media terms during emergencies. The situation is serious enough for us to be calling quite strongly to donors and government to respond now before the situation gets worse. The situation and increasing media coverage and interest also offers an opportunity for Oxfam to have impact on our longer term asks on the need for better coordination and the need for long term adapted policies and investments.
Dimensions
· Serve as Oxfam International policy lead and act as the main advocacy resource on humanitarian issues for the humanitarian team: consulting with programme staffs, generating analysis from colleagues, programme beneficiaries and other stakeholders to develop and deliver a comprehensive advocacy&media strategy.
· Strengthening humanitarian coordination and effectiveness of the emergency response by analysing current blockages as well as systemic weaknesses and proposing short-term and longer-terms advocacy activities and messages to tackle these.
