ACTED, headquartered in Paris, France is present in four continents and our teams intervene in 37 countries towards 14 million people, responding to emergency situations, supporting rehabilitation projects and accompanying the dynamics of development. Over 5,000 staff are dedicated to implementing and developing our projects.

We are recruiting to fill the position of:

Job Title: REACH Assessment Officer

Location: Negotiable - Abuja, Nigeria with frequent travels to Maiduguri, Nigeria. Both locations may involve occasional field travel (security permitting).
Contract duration: 6 months
Supervisor: Senior Assessment Officer
Level: D1-3 (National contract)  
Start date: ASAP

Background
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two INGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction, and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process.

REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services:

  • Need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams;
  • Situation analysis using satellite imagery;
  • Provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

Context / Country
For the better part of the last decade, and particularly since 2014, the 7 states that comprise the North West region of Nigeria have experienced increasingly deadly intercommunal conflict and organized crime resulting in the displacement of more than 200,000 people, and the death and disappearance of thousands more.  This same region has the highest poverty rate in Nigeria - some states recording poverty levels as much as 40% higher than the national average. The North West has the highest rate of out of school children in the country, and millions are believed to lack access to health care, clean water, and childhood immunizations.

Underlying the region’s accelerating insecurity and extreme poverty is the desertification of land brought on by climate change, which has left millions of pastoralists and farmers without their principal source of livelihood. Compounding the displacement crisis is recent flooding which since August has destroyed tens of thousands of homes, and hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops.  The overwhelming focus on the humanitarian crisis in the North East, coupled by the widespread inaccessibility and volatility of the North West, and the likely underestimation of the scale of insecurity, has resulted in a shortage of critical information needed to respond to the quickly growing crisis. As partners prepare to respond to the region’s increasing needs, they will near a clearer picture of displaced household’s needs, intentions, and demographics.
