Job title: Camp Management Sector Co-Coordinator
Company: Danish Refugee Council
Job description: The Danish Refugee Council (DRC), one of the world’s leading NGOs, with a focus on responding to displacement, has been registered in Bangladesh since 2013. In 2017, in response to the Rohingya influx, DRC launched an integrated program of support to the government in site management, shelter/NFI, and protection. In 2018, DRC started implementing aid projects in support of the host communities most affected by the influx of refugees. As a key part of this, DRC opened the main office in Cox’s Bazar and a support/liaison office in Dhaka.
POSITION PROFILE
The Sector Co-Coordinator will support and strengthen the coordination and performance of the Site Management and Site Development Sector (SMSD) for the Rohingya refugee response in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The SMSD Sector is responsible for the coordination of site management and site development activities (SMSD) in support of the Government of Bangladesh site planning, site development, emergency preparedness/Disaster Risk Reduction by SMS agencies, and information management.
The Sector system in Cox’s Bazar mirrors that of the Cluster system and therefore, the role is expected to function in accordance with IASC guidelines on cluster leadership and accountability – to: a) strengthen effective management of the Sector; b) improve the representation of NGOs and other key stakeholders, including civil society organizations; and, c) reinforce the accountability of the humanitarian response towards the Sector’s people of concern.
The Co-Coordinator will work with the designated Coordinator from the lead agency (IOM) to support the management of the Sector, to ensure that the Sector, as well as the broader humanitarian effort, are responsive to the needs of the conflict- and displacement-affected population.
The Co-Coordinator will work closely with the Coordinator and with the Strategic Advisory Group of the Sector to develop and maintain the strategy, coordinate partners (UN, NGO, government, civil society) and ensure the Sector’s interests are represented towards coordinating bodies, with an overall goal to ensure that the coordination effort translates into concrete improvements to the lives of the Sector’s beneficiaries. The Co-Coordinator will support the Sector partners to respond more effectively to the needs of the affected population than would be feasible individually, by working in a coordinated manner and in accordance with the Principles of Partnership.
The Co-Coordinator reports to the DRC Head of Programme but has an overriding duty to all partners within the sector to act as a representative of the Sector as a whole rather than solely as a representative of his/her particular agency.
