Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

The Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) Project Manager is in charge of implementing and achieving the objectives defined in the proposals.

He/she is in charge of supervising the operational teams allocated to his/her program.

He/she guarantees the proper execution and the quality of the implemented program and, if applicable, suggests adjustments or developments to ensure its relevance.

The main challenges:

Humanitarian funding in Yemen is reducing and being further streamlined. Positioning in frontlines and good programme follow up becomes insufficient to guarantee mission's sustainability for West Coast. For this reason, the programmatic structure of the Mission requires major investments into strategic areas that can allow the Country programme to evolve: key investments for development of concept notes and proposals towards development donors; integration of other actors/sectors through strategic local and international partnerships; enhancement of programme quality and innovation.

Priorities for the 2/3 first months:

1- Lead and follow closely the implementation of the 2 ongoing projects in the base.

2- Steer the development of key investments, studies and concept notes for kickstarting new programmatic approaches.

3- Reinforce integration of priority crosscutting elements: Protection mainstreaming, environment/CC.

Security constraints:

The situation is complicated in Al Mokha but slightly more stable/secured than other governorates of Yemen. The situation is less predictable closer to the frontlines. Overall, the main risks are: Unexploded ordinances, Carjacking Ammunition Explosions, shelling, armed operations, Road Accidents and Crossfire. There are strict security rules and a curfew.
