Essential Job Duties/Scope of Work:

International Medical Corps is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through healthcare training and relief and development programs.

Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in areas worldwide. By offering training and healthcare to local populations and medical assistance to people at high risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, International Medical Corps rehabilitates devastated healthcare systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.

 

BACKROUND :

 

After a period of relative calm following the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, the security and political situation in Gaza deteriorated significantly in May 2021. Since mid-May, OHCHR has reported that 232 Palestinians, including 65 children and 39 women (of which 3 were pregnant), and 121 men have been killed in Gaza. Around 1,760 Palestinians have been injured, including 540 children, 361 women. The ongoing conflict situation has brought widespread devastation to an already impoverished territory and placed an additional burden on Gaza’s health infrastructure, which is already overwhelmed due to COVID-19. Utilizing internal and private donor funds, International Medical Corps has been working with local partners in Gaza to provide health, mental health, and nutrition services to vulnerable communities.

International Medical Corps is anticipating an award for a proposed 3-month emergency project to be funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA). This project is anticipated to begin in early June 2021, with recruitments conditional on securing funding. Under this project, International Medical Corps intends to support a multi-sectoral package of interventions including:

• healthcare services, including medicines and medical supplies;
• mental health services, including psychological first aid, for victims of trauma;

• support for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV);

• services to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The Junior Programme aims to contribute to the development of a new generation of young people who, following their experience as a Junior Expert, will commit to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). During their field experience, the focus is on developing competences, innovation, contact with the local reality and networking. The Junior Experts work at least 1 and at most 2 years in a project of Enabel or of one of the belgian Non-governmental Actors (NGA) that are affiliated to the Junior Programme. 

We are looking for a Junior Expert Inclusion in education, training and employment for Enabel in Palestina.

The Junior Expert will contribute to enhance inclusion in 2 Enabel projects in Palestine, namely "Skilled Young Palestine" and "Enhance Resilience for Micro- businesses and Create Sustainable livelihood Opportunities in the Gaza Strip (SAWA)": 

1. The intervention “Skilled Young Palestine – Improving Resilience and Job opportunities for Youth (SYP)”, aims to contribute to support Palestinian Youth in gaining economic autonomy and building their resilience. The intervention targets vulnerable areas in Palestine and aims to facilitate the transition to employment and self-employment through improving skills and competences among Palestinian youth. The beneficiaries of the project are vulnerable groups: women, NEETs (not in education, employment, or training), people with disabilities and those living in remote areas.
    
2. The SAWA project aims to contribute to economic resilience in the Gaza Strip through enhancing the resilience and sustainability of micro businesses in the Gaza Strip and initiating sustainable and innovative green/circular economy initiatives.

This Junior Expert will (in close collaboration with the Enabel Team and local partners) identify, build capacity and assist in the implementation of inclusive approaches to skills development, entrepreneurship support and employment applicable in Palestine context.

“Leaving no one behind” and “endeavour to reach the furthest behind first” is set as an overarching objective by international cooperation to achieve the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. There is severe inequality in Palestine, due to the difficult political context and related economic situation, and many people are challenged at social and economic level.  Both projects SYP and SAWA are prioritizing and fast-tracking progress for the most disadvantaged people (projects are specifically targeting youth living in remote areas, NEETs, women and people with disabilities) through focusing on equal access to quality education and training, the empowerment of vulnerable groups to engage in society and in the creation of a safe space to learn and work. Partner institutions and stakeholders of Enabel Palestine in these two projects indicate that they face difficulties to reach the hardest-to-reach, because they lack the knowhow and the resources to do so.
