Job: Administration Officer

Duty Station: Dadaab

Reporting To: Program Manager

Project Background / Description:

Since 1999, FilmAid has used the unique power of film to reach large numbers of vulnerable communities with critical information in a compelling visual format, overcoming language and literacy barriers. FilmAid uses films that are both educational and entertaining to draw audiences’ attention to subjects of vital concern to their health and well-being.

FilmAid International has operational presence in Dadaab refugee camp and is one of UNHCR’s Implementing partners. Currently FilmAid is implementing a variety of projects with funding support from UNHCR and the US government through Bureau of Population and Migration (BPRM). These projects generally correspond to FilmAid’s core response areas of Health, Protection and Community services and involve production and dissemination of various videos.

The large influx of new arrivals due to the ongoing drought afflicting the Horn of Africa and the insecurity in Somalia has led to increase in mortality rates among under 5’s as well as an increase in acute malnutrition figures, prompting UNHCR to declare an emergency and institute a rapid response.

UNHCR has also revised its registration protocols and introduced registration/reception centers in all the three camps as part of coping with the massive influx. FilmAid has been co-opted into the technical committee overseeing this response and proposes to respond by developing and disseminating a New Arrivals Information Kit targeting approximately 180,000 newly arrived refugees by the end of the project period.

FilmAid is looking to recruit an Administration Officer to coordinate and provide support in Human Resource, Administration, Logistics and finance support to the team on ground.
