Background: The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, with 192 member National Societies. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, our work is guided by seven fundamental principles; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.
Organizational Context: The overall aim of the IFRC is “to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by National Societies with a view to preventing and alleviating human suffering and thereby contributing to the maintenance and promotion of human dignity and peace in the world.” The IFRC works to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people before, during and after disasters, health emergencies and other crises. The IFRC has five regional offices in Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The IFRC also has country cluster delegation and country delegations throughout the world. Together, the Geneva Headquarters and the field structure (regional, cluster and country) comprise the IFRC Secretariat. The Community epidemic and pandemic preparedness program (CP3) is a global initiative which currently covers 8 countries, and which could develop further. The program focuses on improving epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the community level to ensure early detection and rapid response to threats to public health. The project also builds the capacity of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to ensure local action and collaboration with government, ministries of health, the United Nations and other partners in civil society. The IFRC is looking for an assistant to support the implementation of CP3 in Cameroon. The post will play a key role in operational support to facilitate rapid and efficient implementation of the program with counterparts from the Cameroon Red Cross (CRC) and volunteers working in the field
Job Purpose: The position holder for the CP3 program assistant will: 1. Support the program manager in development of work plans, budgets, monitoring plans, and other program documents for the implementation of CP3- program in the country. 2. Supervise the implementation of the epidemic and pandemic preparedness program in support of the National Society (the branches/communities). 3.
