Research Manager for Yemen, Based in Amman, Jordan
vor 3 Wochen
**BACKground on impact and reach**:
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations 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. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.
IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. 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.
**We are currently looking for a Research Manager to support our team in Yemen.**
**Department**:REACH Yemen
**Supervisor**:Country Representative
**Position**:Research Manager
**Contract duration**:12 months
**Location**: Amman (Jordan), with planned regular travels to Yemen
**Starting Date**: 1 May 2024
**Country profile**:
Nine years since the escalation of the current conflict has created high humanitarian needs in Yemen with 18.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Severe deterioration of economic conditions, extensive damaged civilian infrastructure and the collapse of basic services are key drivers of large-scale vulnerabilities and needs countrywide. Approximately 17.6 million people in Yemen are likely to be severely food insecure in 2024, not necessarily because food is unavailable, but because they cannot afford to purchase it. 15% of Yemen's population are displaced, most of whom have been displaced multiple times over a number of years, with about 1.5 Mio IDPs living across 2,400+ IDP sites. Overall, 80% of the population live below the poverty line. In late 2023, Yemen faced another cholera outbreak, with outbreaks exacerbated by crumbling WASH infrastructure. Also, the loss of livelihoods, when combined with the depreciation and general volatility of the Yemeni currency, has made the purchase of basic everyday necessities difficult for most Yemenis.
REACH has supported the humanitarian response to the Yemen crisis since October 2016, working extensively with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster, the Cash and Markets Working Group (CMWG), as well as the Information Management and Assessment and Working Group (IMAWG) and Shelter Cluster. The REACH team - based remotely in Amman - provides systemic assessment and IM support to the response through indicator review, tool design, coordination of national and localized data collection exercises, data analysis, output production, and IM platform design. Given the challenging context in Yemen, REACH is constantly working to find new and innovative ways to effectively inform the humanitarian response.
**FUNCTIONS**:
REACH Yemen is currently recruiting for a Research Manager (RM) to, under the supervision of and in collaboration with the REACH Country Representative, oversee the program and staff of REACH’s Early Recovery (ER) Unit. The ER unit includes two teams, namely the CCCM team and Cash & Markets team.
v The CCCM team is working on national IDP site monitoring systems, durable solution assessments and provide support to the yearly HPC to support the CCCM Cluster and partners in planning the response. As part of the CCCM portfolio, the team also works on assessing hazards (i.e. flooding, fire) in IDP sites.
v The Cash team is working on nationwide market and price monitoring through the JMMI, provide ad hoc support to the CMWG (i.e. analysis of PDM data, MEB analysis, etc.) as well as conduct localized market-based assessments.
Within his/her Unit, the Research Manager leads the IMPACT team to achieve program excellence and ensure the highest level of impact and accountability, while ensuring compliance to IMPACT’s guidelines and standards. The role will involve oversight of all REACH Yemen research cycles (projects), line management of and project management support to all focal points of REACH Yemen’s ER unit, human resource management, external engagement, response coordination structure, and identification of information management gaps within the humanitarian response. As part of the country’s Senior Management Team (SMT), she/he contributes to the development and implem
