The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world’s largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 50 countries and more than 25 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you’re a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future.

ORGANISATIONAL DESCRIPTION

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees and internal displaced persons forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

COUNTRY PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The IRC started operations in Cameroon in 2016 to respond to the increasing concerns for people affected by violence linked to Boko Haram, in the Far North of the country. Assistance to displaced populations extends across the Far North, notably Mayo Sava, Mayo Tsanaga and Logone & Chari, delivering lifesaving programming to increase access to water and improving hygiene practices in vulnerable displaced and host communities, cash programming to enable poor families to meet basic needs and improve food security, and protection programming, including meeting specific needs of women and girls. Following the increasing crisis in the North – West and South – West regions of Cameroon, the IRC expanded its operations into the South – West region in August 2018, and North – West in December 2019, delivering lifesaving humanitarian assistance to internally displaced populations. The IRC’s field offices are in Maroua and Kousseri in the Far North, Buea in the South – West, Bamenda in the North – West, and a representation office in Yaoundé.

IRC Cameroon is committed to continue to provide essential humanitarian services, with a focus on safety in communities and ensuring affected populations can meet their basic needs, whilst also building the resilience of beneficiaries, especially women and girls.

JOB CONTEXT

Ongoing crisis in the South-West and North West, has severely impacted the mental wellbeing of individuals and communities, with growing incidences of self-harm being reported in affected communities. The drivers and associated risk factors of mental health issues are varied and complex including, amongst others, physical, sexual, and emotional violence, socio economic conditions, discrimination and exclusion, gender norms, being parents themselves, being in humanitarian and fragile settings, as well as a lack of access to quality support and services.

Failing to address mental health issues amongst IDPs and host communities can impact their physical and mental health. Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) is recognized as a cross cutting issue for sectors addressing health and social welfare of affected persons. MHPSS describes any type of local or outside support that aims to protect or promote psychosocial well[1] being and/or prevent or treat mental disorder. It is therefore, by definition, a multi-sectoral issue. Within the work of IRC, MHPSS activities do not constitute a separate sector, but are mainly realized within existing sectors and work fields such as community-based protection, child protection, and SGBV. The main task of the MHPSS Officer is to build and maintain capacity for MHPSS interventions within IRC to foster delivery of quality MHPSS interventions for internally displaced persons and host communities.
