Programme Officer/Humanitarian Programme Officer

Oxfam Novib is committed to ridding the world of poverty. We have a conviction that people are well capable of building a livelihood without poverty on their own, once given the chance to do so. Which is why we support local projects in developing countries, why we lobby governments and companies to take into account the interests of the poorest people, and why we campaign to involve Dutch men and women also in our work. We work together with other Oxfam affiliates to increase our impact on development issues.

Oxfam’s program in the Maghreb is a multi country program comprising Morocco, Tunisia, the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria and, in future, programs in Algeria and possibly Libya. This multi country program is to be managed by Oxfam Novib as Oxfam Managing Affiliate working closely with Intermon Oxfam (in Morocco), Oxfam Italia (in Morocco) and Oxfam in Belgium (presence in Tindouf and Algiers), and Oxfam Novib (in Tunisia) who will implement programs in country and on key themes. The four Oxfam affiliates have developed a Joint Sub-regional Multi Country Cluster Analysis and Strategy (JCCAS). Intermon Oxfam is the humanitarian lead for Morocco, Oxfam in Belgium for Western Sahara and Oxfam Novib for Tunisia. ON will also monitor the humanitarian situation in Algeria and Libya and arrange for initial assessments as needed in case of an emergency. The Oxfam Maghreb program will focus on social and political participation, gender justice and supporting sustainable livelihoods work.

Having previously worked from Den Haag, Oxfam Novib will decentralise the Maghreb program in January 2012, with an office in Tunis, Tunisia. In this context we are looking for a
