Votre environnement de travail

Action Against Hunger has been operating in Yemen since 2012, upscaling its
emergency activities in 2016 due to the conflict between Al Houthi and the Saudi-led
coalition. Yemen is currently facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises,
with 80% of the population in need of humanitarian aid.
Action Against Hunger has responded to multiple large-scale and interconnected
emergencies: conflict, famine and a cholera epidemic, using a multisectoral
approach (Nutrition & Health, Food Security, WASH and Mental Health
programming) and by piloting the country's first Rapid Response Mechanism
alongside UNICEF. Donors supporting these programs are the EU through ECHO
and DEVCO, UN agencies (UNICEF, WFP, UNOCHA, UNFPA), GAC, DFID, SIDA
and private foundations. Focus is now on providing life-saving quality health and
nutrition services, addressing the causes of hunger and undernutrition and
promoting evidence-based programming through surveillance, analysis, and
advocacy.
Sana'a is located at 2300 meters/7500 feet altitude, so temperatures can be quite
low in winter. Office and guesthouse are in the same compound. The rooms are
private and personal. The building is supplied with public electricity and a generator
is also available. Due to the current security situation, social options are very limited,
not only for ACF but for all organizations.
ACF is operationally working in 2 bases: Hodeida and Aden, with its coordination
team located in Sana'a. In total, the Yemen mission counts 269 national staff and 24
international staff.
