BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH:
IMPACT Initiatives is a Geneva-based humanitarian NGO, aimed to improve the impact of humanitarian, stabilization, and development action through data, partnerships and capacity building programmes.
With over 400 staff members, including assessment, data analysis, GIS experts, and field professionals, IMPACT teams are present in over 20 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
IMPACT is a sister organisation of ACTED, an NGO with headquarters in Paris.The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED's operational support on its fields of intervention.
The work of IMPACT is done through collaborative initiatives, to ensure research and analysis is actionable and context relevant. The main initiative of IMPACT is the REACH Initiative.
REACH was founded in 2010 as a joint initiative of IMPACT and ACTED, in partnership with the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT).
REACH's
purpose is to develop and promote information that enhances the humanitarian community's decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction, and development contexts.
(a) need and situation assessments; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.
We are currently looking for an Associate Research Manage to oversee our team in Somalia.
Position:
Associate Research Manager - Displacement to Durable Solutions (DDS)
Contract duration:12 months
Location:
Hargeisa, Somalia
Starting Date:
August 2024
Country profile:
Somalia has been experiencing a multi-layered, complex, and protracted crisis over the past three decades, in particular, due to periodic disasters and climate-driven shocks, such as droughts and flooding.
IMPACT began working in Somalia/Somaliland in 2012 in order to fill information gaps and provide timely data on the humanitarian needs of displaced and vulnerable populations.
The compound and complex nature of the crisis continues to influence displacement patterns and constrain the availability of resources, while the presence of armed groups severely impedes the level of access and support provided by humanitarian actors.
Currently, the Horn of Africa is experiencing the third drought episode in a decade, following three consecutive failed rainy seasons.
The drought is compounding existing food insecurity among both pastoral and farming populations, and needs are spiking across the region - between 12 and 14 million people are currently estimated to be facing high levels of food insecurity and water shortages.
Historically rare climate variability, climate change, vulnerability, and exposure are creating an exceptional and extremely concerning level of risk for food security and livelihoods, which could drive rising levels of acute malnutrition and mortality through mid-to-late 2022.
Climate shocks and insecurity continue to affect Somali populations, frequently resulting in their displacement.With an estimated 2.9 million people displaced in Somalia, there are currently 2,777 (as per the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Quarter 2 Master Site List for 2023) IDP sites in the country because of converging causes of conflict, drought, floods, and insufficient development.
Following decades of conflict and recurrent climatic shocks leading to the protracted displacement of around 1.1 million people, the 2016/2017 drought and floods in 2018 triggered the internal displacement of an additional 1.5 million Somalis.
In 2023 alone, Somalia recorded 1.6 million flood-induced displacements and 600,000 displacements due to flooding.The Detailed Site Assessment (DSA), led by REACH, was started in coordination with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) cluster to give the humanitarian community up-to-date information on the location of IDP sites, the conditions and capacity of the sites, and an estimate of the severity of the humanitarian needs of residents.
This was done to provide more evidence for the humanitarian actors to understand the needs of those populations residing in IDP sites.
Nevertheless, given the protracted displacement experienced in Somalia, more sites need to be identified to be considered for durable solutions rather than just emergency needs.
The combination of internal displacement and refugee return is exacerbating Somalia's demographic shift from a rural to an urbanized country.
IDPs and vulnerable returnees tend to join existing, congested settlements or establish temporary sites in urban and peri-urban areas seeking safety and assistance.
