Introduction
Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a Danish international non-governmental organisation, which promotes and supports durable solutions to the problems faced by refugees and internally displaced people all over the world. DRC is present in more than 30 conflict territories around the world assisting displaced people with shelter, food, income-generating activities, and a wide range of other assistance. It is of utmost importance for DRC to work in compliance with the DRC Accountability and Quality Management system and national legislations. Smooth, reliable and effective operational systems are preconditions for DRC to maintain its position as a trustworthy and reliable partner for our donors and an accountable organisation towards our beneficiaries
Background
Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has had an operational presence in Nigeria since 2015 and has experience working in 33 Local Government Areas (LGAs) across the BAY states. DRC provides life-saving assistance and protection to vulnerable, conflict-affected populations including IDPs, returnees, and host communities in the sectors of armed violence reduction, livelihoods, nutrition and food security, protection, shelter and non-food items (NFI) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
The operational context in northeastern Nigeria remains challenging, as the ongoing conflict impedes conflict-affected communities’ access to what limited basic services are available, as well as DRC and other humanitarians’ access to persons of concern.
Purpose
The WASH Assistant’s primary function is to support the WASH Officer in ensuring the quality planning, implementation, and follow-up of WASH activities carried out by DRC. The WASH Assistant is specifically responsible for the day-to-day implementation of water, sanitation, and hygiene activities in the intervention area. This role involves coordinating with WASH counterparts in other locations, engaging with stakeholders to ensure effective project delivery, and promoting behavior change and community participation for a sustainable impact. The WASH Assistant must ensure that all activities are conducted in a manner that is sensitive to community needs, with a particular focus on gender issues, promoting the full and equal participation of women, and aligning with the needs of population in the area.
