ABOUT MSF

M decins Sans Fronti res/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation committed to two objectives: providing medical assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion, natural and man-made disasters; and speaking out about the plight of the populations assisted. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of, religion, gender or political affiliation. Today, MSF is present in more than 60 countries, where thousands of MSF doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, and other medical and non-medical professionals work together to bring essential health services to people caught in humanitarian crises.

MSF IN LEBANON

In response to the challenges encountered by the management of MSF projects in the Middle East, the MSF operational Centre of Brussels (OCB) initiated in 2015 the creation of a hub based in Lebanon. Today, the hub performs three main functions: recruitment of staff for MSF s global humanitarian projects, communications, press relations and content production, and operational support providing medical and humanitarian advisory to MSF s projects in the MENA. The team currently consists of 12 staff members.

During its first phase, the MSF OCB hub activities in Lebanon focused on hiring and capacity building of a new team, creating a nascent presence in civil society raising awareness of MSF, building relationships with medical and academic institutions and articulating relevant operational support to the projects in the region. The HR recruitment team has successfully begun to recruit, and in growing numbers is contributing staff to MSF s international HR pools. The communication team creates Arabic content for MSF s target audiences in the region and beyond, and has begun to build awareness and the presence of MSF in Lebanese society. The regional operational support team provides medical and humanitarian analysis, advocacy and representation support to projects in the region.

In the coming years, the objective is to continue to build MSF s profile, anchorage and acceptance in Lebanon, in order to contribute resources, leverage and ideas from these societies to MSF s global humanitarian efforts. The Coordinator s mandate will be to lead this effort. The coordinator reports to the General Directorate of MSF in Brussels.

This hub in Lebanon may evolve into a formal MSF branch office entity in accordance with the organization s governance set up.

If this were the case, this coordinator position would evolve into a General Director s position.
