Country: Afghanistan
Closing date: 31 May 2018
Location:AFGHANISTAN Based in Kabul
Length of contract:12 months fixed term contract under French legislation Starting 1stJune 2018
Context of the position:
As a politically fragmented, natural disaster-prone nation, Afghanistan has long faced levels of chronic insecurity, internal displacement, and widespread poverty that has subjected its populations to ongoing hardships and recurring humanitarian crises. Communities remain food insecure for a range of reasons, from the cumulative impacts of multiple droughts, erratic climate shocks and seasonal flooding, a lack of infrastructure and limited access to markets, problems that are especially acute among vulnerable populations in remote regions. As a result, Afghanistan ranks poorly on basic human development indicators, with millions dependent on external humanitarian assistance for their daily survival and an estimated four million refugees living abroad in Pakistan and Iran. Although education and health have improved in urban areas, rural populations remain largely vulnerable to maternal and perinatal mortality and infant mortality and diseases, malnutrition being a major concern.
Presentation of the mission:
ACF has been operating in Afghanistan since its creation in 1979 and is operating now in 4 provinces in Afghanistan through integrated Nutrition, Food Security & Livelihoods, Mental Health & Care Practises and WASH interventions to support the most vulnerable groups, with a strong focus on emergency response to human-made and natural disasters, targeting primarily refugees, Internally Displaced Persons, and flood/drought affected populations. Over the years, ACF has expanded the focus of its interventions from short-term, more emergency to longer term projects aimed at addressing chronic vulnerabilities of the communities and strengthening their capacities to prepare to, and cope with disasters. Sector-wise, ACF has established itself over the past 25 years as a prominent Nutrition and WASH actor, with recognized expertise in these two sectors and active membership to sectorial Clusters where ACF is active in the Nutrition Cluster as well as the co-lead of the Nutrition Assessment and Information Management Working Group and co-lead of the IMAM Technical Working Group also as a member of the IYCF Technical Working Group.
Security, working and living conditions:

Kaboulhas a very cold winter, spring and autumn are very nice and summer is pretty hot. The expatriates share a guest house with internet, electricity, TV room, indoor sports room and garden including a badminton and volleyball field. A variety of restaurants, supermarkets and grocery shops where you can have access depending on security rules and situation. The context is highly volatile in Kaboul and security conditions can change very quickly. Thus, the movements are limited, walking outside is often forbidden and a curfew is strictly imposed.
Lashkar Gah, has a yearly average temperature of 20 C with very low precipitation. In the guest house, you will find all the comfort you need (internet, electricity, living room with large TV and stationary bicycle), and garden. The office is located on the other side of the same compound, and really closed to others NGOs. The context remains highly volatile and security conditions can change very quickly.

All EMERGENCY international staff is expected to know and follow the hospital admissions criteria, guide lines, protocols, and the diagnosis and treatment standards in use in the Centre, and to ensure the correct compilation of clinical records and statistics in both computer and paper formats.
The main duties and responsibilities of the international midwife are:
- management of obstetric and gynaecological patients in the emergency department and outpatients department(examination of pregnant women, obstetric-gynaecological ultrasound, family planning );
- supervision of care during childbirth, in the delivery room and operating theatre;
- management and coordination of care in the labour room;
- management and coordination of care in the ward;
- assisting in clinical research and record keeping as required by the scientific programmes of the specialist sector of the Medical Division of EMERGENCY.
MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING OF LOCAL PERSONNEL
The international Midwife works with the Gynaecologist to provide on-the-job training in theory and practice to the national trainee medical colleagues, midwives and nurses. This is achieved through working alongside the national staff on a day-to-day basis, and constantly monitoring the level of clinical independence achieved. There is also provision for more specific teaching activities, managed by the international specialists, in accordance with the clinical protocols in use and as agreed with the Medical Coordinator.
CASELOAD AND EQUIPMENT
The technological level of the equipment available is suited to the clinical and managerial protocols in use, and the level of professional autonomy of the national staff, with the aim of achieving and sustaining high standards of care. Diagnostic equipment, basic laboratory tests, technical and auxiliary services are always available.
MATERNITY CENTRE Anabah, Afghanistan
The Maternity Centre is the only facility in the region specialised in Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Neonatology.It is open 24 hours a day for emergencies, and 6 days a week for clinical services. The Centre is the referral point for a network of First Aid Posts (FAPs) and Health Centres operating an antenatal care programme.
In December 2016 we inaugurated the new Anabah Maternity Centre. The old centre, which opened in 2003, had become too small to cope with the increased number of births, which had risen to over 500 per month. The new centre has four delivery rooms, two operating theatres, a neonatal intensive care ward and step-down unit, an intensive care ward for women suffering birth complications, four clinics, a gynaecology ward, an obstetrics ward, a follow-up area and a labour area.
To make treatment more accessible, check-up and follow-up examinations are performed in the EMERGENCY FAPs and Health Centres in the Valley: in 2016, 609 women were referred in labour and 13,120 obstetric and gynaecological examinations were provided.
The midwives frequently face pathologies of a significantly different nature from those encountered in their professional experience:eclampsia, uterine rupture, placenta praevia (including undiagnosed grade IV), placental abruption, breech presentation, ante- and post-partum haemorrhage etc. This caseload is due to the sanitary conditions in which the population live, and the high number of pregnancies (multiparity).
The available equipment include: ultrasound with vaginal and abdominal probes; vacuum aspiration; Kiwi ventouse cup; Doppler foetal monitor.
The operating theatre is always available in case of emergency, and is equipped to carry out caesarean section, hysterectomy, curettage, and other obstetric-gynaecological procedures.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
- Degree in Midwifery or equivalent diploma with professional registration in your Country of residence;
- at least 3 years continuous relevant practice in hospital settings;
- delivery room experience is essential.
REQUIRED AVAILABILITY
6 months overseas stay including a period of leave to be taken at the end of the mission in agreement with the coordinator. Shorter missions may only be considered for specific needs as defined by the organisation.

Afghanistan: Afghanistan - A Deputy Head of Mission for Programs
Closing date: 2018-07-31
Application : Apply for the jobOrganization: Premi re Urgence Internationale
Country: Afghanistan
Closing date: 31 Jul 2018
Premi re Urgence Internationale (PUI)is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilians victims of marginalization and exclusion, or hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapses, by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The association leads in average 200 projects by year in the following sectors of intervention: food security, health, nutrition, construction and rehabilitation of infrastructures, water, sanitation, hygiene and economic recovery. PUI is providing assistance to around 7 million people in 21 countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe and France.

Humanitarian situation and needs:
Afghan mission is the oldest PUI mission, with first medical intervention launched in 1979 just after the Soviet Invasion.
Since then, the country has mostly been in conflict, with national armed groups and international forces, causing mass casualties and massive movements of population, within or out of the countries. In 2017, 438 000 people have been internally displaced (bringing the total number of displaced people to 1.7 million) and there has been an influx of more than 550 000 afghan returnees from Iran and Pakistan. This high number of returns is putting pressure on host communities that are already strained by the conflict.
The achievements realized by the international community following the post-2001 intervention are now jeopardized by the intensification of conflict and violence and fragile governance. Indeed, due to the increase of the attacks, casualties, displacements and consequently, of the acute needs, the United Nations reclassified Afghanistan conflict from a protracted one to an active one. Many armed groups (mainly Taliban, Islamic State ) are threatening the Government of Afghanistan, struggling to impose its vision of development, despite continuous extended military, financial and political support, nationally and internationally.
Humanitarian consequences:
Insecurity, economic concerns, governance issues and increased pressure on the delivery of services are pushing many Afghans to risk their lives fleeing to Europe, as they see no future in Afghanistan. Afghan refugees represent the third largest refugee group worldwide and the second largest contingent of asylum seekers to the EU.
In this scenario, with elevated pressure on aid actors, the capacity to deliver aid to the most in need in remote areas is jeopardized. Access on field remains one of the biggest challenges in Afghanistan, especially in some provinces, including Nangarhar and Kunar. The humanitarian crisis is looming as actors are overstretched and resources oriented to other crises. A high capacity to deliver aid is then required in such a complex environment where humanitarian needs are huge.
Our actions in the field:
PUI strategy is to address the fundamental needs of the Afghan population in respect with all humanitarian principles. Indeed, neutrality and impartiality are key principles to respect in order to enable humanitarian access to the affected populations.
PUI has a strong health expertise in the country that can be used as an entry point to implement an integrated approach to support the population to regain their most basic needs and also to their self-sufficiency. Indeed, such problems as malnutrition and undernutrition request a multi sectoral and comprehensive response in order to decrease the prevalence of the phenomenon.
Since the beginning of 2013, PUI in Afghanistan started interventions on emergency preparedness and medical interventions for conflict-affected populations. With constant increasing of civilian casualties from January 2014 to December 2017 (around 10,000 documented during the year 2017), it is indeed crucial to have health staff prepared and equipped for mass casualties, and also to implement responses to population displacements.
Due to the violent recent history of the country and the constantly increasing number of security incidents in the country, PUI is developing an advocacy plan for development of PFA in the country, in order to support the development of such activity countrywide.
For 2018, PUI will continue its emergency interventions in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces to procure live-saving assistance to people whose needs are the most urgent (ECHO and CHF funded projects). The reduction of the malnutrition in Kunar by the implementation of targeted supplementary feeding program still constitutes a priority for PUI teams. With the recruitment of a PFA advisor and the
implementation of PFA and PSS interventions, mental health is a key matter for PUI, which will insist on it in its projects. Finally, PUI is BPHS implementer in Kunar until at least mid-2018 and aims at remaining the main implementer in this province for the coming years.
