Job Description
For more than 40 years, Mdecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organization committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.
Those working for this independent organization do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations. MdM currently works in 30 countries across all continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas: emergency and crisis, sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, migrants and displaced populations (health rights), health and environment. Mdecins du Monde is operating in Ethiopia since 1986 in different types of health projects from long-term interventions to emergency response.
Ethiopia grapples with multifaceted challenges arising from inter-communal and regional conflicts, drought, and famine, leading to protracted crises and recurrent humanitarian situations. This dire scenario has left millions displaced and vulnerable to various shocks, particularly in the northern regions of Afar, Amhara, and Tigray. The 2 years civil war in Tigray has left nearly 1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), with pervasive food insecurity and malnutrition, alongside dysfunctional public infrastructure, and services due to resource limitations. The Afar region faces severe drought, with a heightened prevalence of malnutrition and famine-like conditions, compelling millions, especially women and children, to migrate, facing elevated risks to health, malnutrition, and gender-based violence (GBV). In response, MdM is currently executing four humanitarian responses in the Afar and Tigray regions, funded by diverse donors. Simultaneously, a long-term development harm-reduction project is underway, focusing on the well-being and rights of female sex workers. MdM, cognizant of the imperative for localized support, collaborates with various local NGOs for both humanitarian and developmental interventions. The mission of MdM in Ethiopia envisions maintaining the same intervention strategy in 2024, with an expanded humanitarian response in the Amhara region.
