Expertise France is looking for a Protection Project Manager for the component of the Qudra2 – Resilience for Syrian refugees, IDPs and host communities in response to the Syrian and Iraqi crises – mutli-donor and multi-partner Programme that Expertise France is implementing in Lebanon.
The Programme is co-financed by the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis (EUTF Syria), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) to contribute to alleviating the impact of the Syrian and Iraqi crises on refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. The first phase of Qudra was implemented in 2016-2019. Its second phase started in September 2019 and is expected to end in August 2023.
In Lebanon, Expertise France seeks to improve protection opportunities for vulnerable children, youth, and adults as well as other marginalised groups, such as older persons and persons with disabilities. To this effect, the project activities revolve around two pillars:
Under the supervision of the Programme Director, the Qudra 2 Project Manager will undertake the overall responsibility of Qudra project to ensure timely and quality implementation of project activities in coordination with MoSA, the European Union Delegation (EUD) and other concerned stakeholders. The Qudra 2 Project Manager will lead a team of two project officers who will be placed under her/his direct supervision.
His/her overall duties include the following:
Project management, monitoring, evaluation and learning
Staff Management and Supervision of Experts
Monitoring on protection / social protection sectors and project development
Institutional representation & partnership
The Middle East is currently experiencing a profound crisis. The conflicts in Syria and Iraq are both a reflection and a transmitter of this crisis, with growing potential to further destabilise neighbouring countries and the wider region. These crises have resulted in a humanitarian disaster affecting more than 13.5 million people who were forced to flee their homes from Syria, and more than 17 million people in need of humanitarian aid (12.2 in Syria and 5.2 in Iraq).
Lebanon is now home to the largest number of Syrian refugees per capita relative to its total population, putting a severe strain on the country’s fragile infrastructures, economy, and security. As of November 2020, the Government of Lebanon estimates that the country hosts 1.5 million Syrians who have fled the conflict in Syria, including 879,598 registered as refugees with UNHCR, along with 257,000 Palestine Refugees in Lebanon, Palestinian refugees from Syria, other UNRWA eligible persons from Lebanon. Even though Lebanon has not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention, it continues to host the highest number of displaced per capita in the world. The Lebanon Crisis Response Plan 2017-2021 (LCRP) estimates the total number of people living in Lebanon at 5.9 million, with 3.2 million people in need, including 1.25 million vulnerable Lebanese. Some 44 per cent of all displaced Syrian individuals (646,811 people) reside in these the governorates of Akkar, Baalbek-Hermel and Beqaa bordering the Syrian territories.
During the last two years, host communities and refugee populations have seen their situation dramatically worsen due to the profound political, social and economic crisis that has hit the country, and that was compounded by the impact of the COVID 19 disease, leading to a dramatic increase of poverty levels throughout the country. The Beirut Port explosion has further devastated the country’s general economy and the society’s capacity to cope. Finally, the current political crisis has considerably undermined the legitimacy and capacity of the State to provide services and the financial breakdown of the country is severely impacting previously subsidized sectors, such as oil, electricity and pharmaceuticals.
