11. STATEMENT OF DUTIES

1. General Statement of Purpose of the Contract

USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) works to save lives, alleviate human suffering, and reduce the impact of disasters by helping people in need become more self-reliant.

BHA is responsible for planning, coordinating, developing, achieving, monitoring, and evaluating international humanitarian assistance falling into two conceptual areas: 1) Humanitarian Response during emergencies and 2) Early Recovery, Risk Reduction, and Resilience activities to address longer-term recovery after emergencies. You can learn more about BHA on our website.

The Office of Middle East, North Africa, and Europe (MENAE) in BHA assesses, designs, and provides humanitarian assistance with our partners, including assistance related to responding to, recovering from, and reducing the risk of man-made and natural disasters, while linking with other USAID investments that build resilience. MENAE retains humanitarian experts based overseas, who coordinate with local authorities, USAID Missions, United States (U.S.)

Embassies, humanitarian donor groups, and regional and country-level humanitarian architectures. Overseas experts also provide oversight of the BHA's humanitarian partners and programs and monitor contextual developments to inform BHA country strategies. MENAE humanitarian experts in Washington coordinate with USAID Regional and Pillar Bureaus, as well as manage funding and programmatic activities implemented by non-governmental organizations (NGOs); international organizations (IOs), including the United Nations (UN) agencies; and other partners in the region for natural disasters and complex emergencies. The MENAE Office represents humanitarian programs and interests within the U.S. Government (USG) interagency, as well as in interactions with beneficiary populations, host governments, implementing partners, UN agencies, and other donors.

MENAE consists of three geographic divisions: Europe, Middle East and Levant, and North Africa and Arabian Peninsula. The MENAE overseas structure comprises a Regional Office based in Budapest, Hungary. MENAE also maintains a staff presence in bilateral Missions and other platforms throughout the region.

This new Cairo-based Senior Humanitarian Advisor (SHA) position is a member of the USAID/Egypt Humanitarian Assistance (HA) Unit. This position will support monitoring and coordinating of USAID-funded humanitarian activities in Egypt, as well as providing support to regional humanitarian responses. The SHA supports the work of USAID/Egypt and BHA and works closely with USAID/Egypt’s program, technical, and regional response teams to plan, implement, oversee, and analyze BHA humanitarian programs.

At the direction of the Team Lead (TL), the SHA will support the needs of the embassy, Mission Director, and other senior USG officials on humanitarian advocacy with the government of Egypt; informs the USAID/Egypt of USAID humanitarian assistance and strategy, as well as other donor government humanitarian interventions; advises on policies that have implications for humanitarian conditions; solicits input from the Mission on integration of humanitarian and development programming; and provides humanitarian reporting, briefings, and information products for the Mission.

Also at the direction of the TL, she SHA represents BHA humanitarian strategy, analysis, and interventions to the Mission and other USG focal points, and articulates and advocates for BHA perspectives on humanitarian best practices, including UN-led assistance strategies and priorities for Egypt and BHA’s approach to appropriate programming of USG humanitarian assistance in Egypt’s dynamic, politically complex context. In the interest of the Agency, the incumbent of this position may be required to serve on BHA response teams in the event of a disaster that necessitates USG engagement.

BHA requires the services of the Senior Humanitarian Advisor (SHA) based in Cairo, Egypt to meet its objectives of effectively programming, monitoring, coordinating, and evaluating USAID-funded humanitarian activities in Egypt.
