Camp Management Programme Development Manager Yemen

Background

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with up to 80% of the population currently in need of some form of humanitarian or protective assistance, many due to a breakdown in existing support systems and the deterioration of all basic services. Protracted conflict, economic deterioration, and the sustained non-payment of public salaries have left two-thirds of Yemen’s population – 20 million people – facing a crisis or emergency food insecurity and a threat of widespread famine.

NRC has operated in Yemen since 2012. Currently, NRC operates in ten governorates clustered under three Area Offices, with each area office managed by an Area Manager in a significantly decentralized structure. The overall budget turn-over exceeds US$ 35 million with a total staffing of more than 300.
