Innovation at OXFAM aims at identifying, prototyping, and scaling technologies and practices that strengthen OXFAM´s work for vulnerable communities. OXFAM needs to be agile and adapt to the evolving challenges affecting poverty and inequalities. One thing that is consistent: the speed at which these problems disrupt the lives of communities worldwide is only getting faster. To address these problems, OXFAM is building a network of global problem solvers who can find new ways to accelerate results that reduce inequities for poor communities.

This position is based in its office in Barcelona, with eventual trips to Madrid and country offices.

As part of the innovation approach, OXFAM has been exploring how Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) can offer opportunities to develop innovative solutions to our programmes that help amplifying and improving the effectiveness of our work.

Closing date: 18 Apr 2017

CANADEM is seeking seasoned, Spanish-speaking professionals with previous relevant experience with WASH Cluster Coordination who are available for an immediate deployment to Lima, Peru as a seconded expert with UNICEF for a 3 month contract.

Position Title: WASH Cluster Coordinator

BACKGROUND
The cluster approach ensures clear leadership, predictability and accountability in international responses to humanitarian emergencies by clarifying the division of labour among organizations and better defining their roles and responsibilities within the different sectors of the response. It aims to make the international humanitarian community better organised and more accountable and professional, so that it can be a better partner for the affected people, host governments, local authorities, local civil society and resourcing partners

In the past few days, “El Niño Costero” has continued to cause heavy rains and flooding across large parts of Peru. The disaster has affected more than 1 million people, which includes over 350,000 children. The most severely affected districts are Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad and Lima Metropolitana. The Government has added Tumbes on the northern border of Peru with Ecuador to the areas where needs assessments are taking place.

Humanitarian needs are wide-ranging. Thus far it is estimated that 29,000 houses and dwellings have been destroyed or collapsed, affecting at least 120,000 people who are in immediate need for alternative shelter and other types of assistance. There are reports of many children and families living in unofficial shelters which are unlikely to meet basic needs, including water, sanitation and hygiene.
Many more people in the affected areas have no access to clean water and there is concern that levels of personal hygiene and sanitation are low, increasing risks of disease outbreaks, including acute diarrhea, dengue and Zika virus. UNICEF Peru is responding to the crisis and is actively supporting the Government to protect those affected and will concentrate its response to the needs of children in the most affected areas. An integrated approach will be conducted, providing Protection; Water; Sanitation; Hygiene; Nutrition and Health; Education.
