Employer: Action Against Hunger (ACF)
Duration: 12 Months
Start Date: 15-09-2020
Your Working Environment:
The RCA mission is now made up of 4 operational bases (Bangui, Bouar, Bossangoa and Sibut), and a team of 306 national staff and 40 expatriates.
In Bangui, the climate is equatorial with a wet season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. Average annual temperatures range from 24 ° C to 27 ° C, with highs reaching 34 ° C.
Expats stay in communal houses which are equipped with electricity and a relatively good but not very stable internet connection.
The rooms have mosquito nets, fans or air conditioning and some have their own bathroom.
Life is not very expensive in Bangui. The per diem and the living expenses given are sufficient to allow regular outings even if the choice is reduced.
As a Safety Referent, you are in close contact with the TCs and Liaison Officers. The context is volatile and ACF currently has 5 distinct bases including 2 emergency teams deployable throughout the CAR.
If you are not the direct manager of these teams, you nevertheless remain the guarantor of the feasibility of the actions with a particular challenge concerning emergency teams who are constantly on the move outside ACF's usual work areas.
