ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE
Uganda has been experiencing a growing impact of climate change in recent years. The country is registering yearly an increasing frequency and intensity of disasters. Overtime, the country has been registering above normal rainfalls as predicted by the Uganda Meteorological Office. The heavy rains have led to multiple disasters that adversely affected and disrupted human life, resulting in the destruction of lives, property, livestock, and livelihoods, including farmlands. The country is registering an increasing trend in disasters’ frequency and intensity, including droughts, floods, and land/mudslides. Besides, the country is hosting more than 1.4 million refugees, mainly from South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The country has one of the world’s most progressive refugee protection policies and has been at the forefront of integrating development solutions to refugee crises. Vulnerability is exacerbated by low adaptive capacity, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, weak institutional capacity, inadequate disaster management skills, lack of equipment for disaster management, Emergency Response, and limited financial resources.
Under the direct supervision of the Chief of Mission and close coordination with the relevant Regional Thematic Specialists in the Regional Office (RO), the successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Assistance to flood affected populations in IOM Uganda mission.
