PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:
Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. Since the beginning of the Syrian civil war over five years ago, Mercy Corps has worked to address the urgent needs of nearly 4 million people both inside Syria and in neighbouring countries. The programme will be implemented through a partnership with Syrian local organizations in Nortwest Syria and will be managed remotely from the Amman office, Jordan.
Mercy Corps Syria is driven by the belief that profound partnership with Syrian communities is fundamental to the transition from survival to productivity and self-reliance. Catalysing Community Resilience in Northern Syria (CCRNS) Program presents a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Food Security and Livelihood (FSL) programme using Mercy Corps’ CATALYSE approach (Communities Acting Together to Advance Linkages Yielding Social Engagement) , which puts communities at the centre of programme development and implementation, and supports the creation of an enabling environment and opportunities that deliver long-term benefits, for those we work with. The (CCRNS) FSL Program Officer’s role, under the supervision of the Peace and Conflict / Social Cohesion Program Manager, is to support the management of Mercy Corps Nortwest Catalysing Community Resilience in Northern Syria (CCRNS) Program activities, providing food security and livelihoods assistance to conflict-affected communities, focusing specifically on Nortwest Syria program working remotely from Amman in partnership with Syrian Organizations inside Syria.
