Job Description

Background/Context

The three ongoing crises in Cameroon – the Northwest-Southwest (NW-SW) crisis, the Lake Chad Basin crisis, and the Central African Republic (CAR) crisis – are further complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic which led to an increase of more than 4.4 million people in need (2021 HNO). In 2020, NRC named Cameroon second world’s most neglected crisis. As of September 20, 2021, only 29 % of the HRP was funded (OCHA, Financial Tracking Service).

Established in 2017, NRC Cameroon now has operations in the Far North region (Maroua and Kousseri), the Northwest-Southwest regions (Buea and Bamenda), and in the East (Batouri). NRC programming covers emergency through to recovery and involves integrated approaches across Education, Information, Counselling &Legal Assistance (ICLA), Livelihood Food Security (LFS), Shelter, and WASH.

The purpose of the Shelter Programme Development Manager is to be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of a Shelter programme in a start-up operation. While not considered a start-up, NRC Cameroon has not moved to a structure with C0re Competence (CC)Specialists. Part of the role of the Programme Development Manager (PDM) is to advise on when/if such a switch is possible, and under which circumstances.

The Shelter PDM has national coverage and is responsible for the programme direction, implementation, and quality across the three crises NRC Cameroon is responding to: Far North region, Northwest and Southwest regions, and the East.
