Job Title: State Facilitator, Emergency Response

Location: Benue
Employment Type: Full-time

Background

• The humanitarian situation in Benue has continued to be a serious and challenging problem, leading to the continued displacement of a large population across the state and resulting in more IDPs arriving at different IDP camps in the state.
• The IOM DTM official report of December 2024 reported that a total of 401, 403 individuals are currently displaced in Benue across different LGs. While the January 2025 IOM DTM biodata registration for displaced persons in Benue, stated that a total of 210, 876 individuals have been officially registered and captured as being displaced.
• The humanitarian crisis in Benue State has significantly heightened protection concerns for women, girls, and children in IDP camps. Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) remains a critical issue, with women and girls facing increased risks of sexual exploitation, rape, and early/forced marriage. Some have resorted to transactional sex to provide for their children, further exposing them to exploitation.
• Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC) are highly vulnerable to abuse, neglect, and trafficking due to the lack of family support. UNICEF’s mission is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action.
• For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favoritism. If any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions — their rights are violated.
• There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential and will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. The focus on equity is vital to accelerate progress towards realizing the human rights of all children. This is the universal mandate of UNICEF as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
