To strengthen Oxfam's response to humanitarian emergencies by assisting technical coordinators in the setting up and implementation of programmes and systems integrating digital tools (Information Communication Technologies – ICTs) to support and deliver field activities and capturing and sharing our learning from them.
BACKGROUND: Residual effects of El Niño-induced drought from last year coupled with this year’s ‘(2017) below average rains in the southern and eastern parts of the country caused by the negative Indian Ocean Dipole (failure of dyer/hagayya rains) have led to new drought particularly in Southern and South east parts of Ethiopia affecting over 5.6 million people. The pastoral areas in Southern Somali region are facing acute water and food shortages and over 1.2 million people are in urgent need of re-directed development and resilience investment to emerging humanitarian priorities. Increasing displacement due to climate-related loss of livelihoods and food production is reported in Somali region. Oxfam is responding in 7 zones of Somali region through a comprehensive drought response, including WASH and food security and livelihood projects for the most vulnerable population in the affected areas.
Key areas of work include identifying needs, scoping and setting up processes drawing on the enabling role of new technologies to deliver activities ranging from assessments, registrations, monitoring and delivery of aid to improving Oxfam’s accountability to beneficiaries. The role seeks to ensure that activities incorporating the use of ICTs consider gender equity and vulnerability issues, and are carried out in a way that is sensitive to conflict and protection needs in order to reduce risks and threats to beneficiaries.
