Hiring Organization: Action Against Hunger (ACF)
Job Location: Nigeria
Security, working and living conditions:
The Nigerian security environment is volatile, especially in the Northeast and Northwest, where the mission is operating. Specific to the Northeast, the Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) regular attacks on the military, government and humanitarian installations have made the majority of the locations inaccessible and the mission has prioritized the use of UNHAS choppers while completely banning its staff from using road transport. Moreover, international staff are allowed to stay in a few locations outside the main state capitals of Yobe and Borno. In the Northwest area of the country, abductions and killings have occurred regularly in the past against the mission and the mission has strict measures to be followed while in these locations.
Presentation of the base:
The Maiduguri base is the largest base on the mission, implementing humanitarian interventions of WASH, FSL, Nutrition and Health, and employing 140 staff. The base supports the Monguno and Damasak sub-bases. The guesthouse is comfortable for international staff, there is a curfew at 10:00 pm, and movements within Maiduguri town are not restricted but precautionary measures have been put in place. International staff currently are not allowed to spend the night in the sub-bases. Further, all staff movements outside Maiduguri Metropolitan Council/Jere are done only through UNHAS choppers, while movements outside the military trench in the field office require HQ approval. While security in Maiduguri is generally calm, there are conflicts in other parts of Borno and is considered unstable.
