NUTRITION PROGRAM MANAGER ETHIOPIA

Job Location: Dollo Odo
Reporting to: Nutrition Programme Coordinator
Contract Length: 1 - 3 months
Start Date: Immediate



General Description of the Programme:

GOAL has been operational in Ethiopia since 1984, implementing emergency and rehabilitation/development projects. The impact of the current drought has been evident in Ethiopia since late 2010; many areas of the country are manifesting serious nutritional problems. The revised Humanitarian Requirements Document launched on 11 July 2011 calls for an additional US$ 398.4 million in humanitarian funding to meet food and non-food needs in Ethiopia between July and December 2011. The total number of relief food beneficiaries has been increased to 4,567,256. The dire situation in Somalia continues to push an increasing number of refugees into Ethiopia with an average of 1,400 to 2,000 refugees per day reported to arrive at refugee camps in Dolo Odo, Liben zone. Many refugees are arriving in a very weak state, with up to 45% of children suffering from malnutrition. In response, the Government has recently given permission for organizations to begin nutrition screening and other services at the reception and transit sites in Dolo Ado. Currently there are four Somalia refugee camps near to Dollo Odo sheltering 101,315 refugees. GOAL is supporting International Medical Corps with in kind donations of therapeutic food for one camp. Two more camps will be opened shortly to cater for the new arrivals and GOAL plans to support these camps directly. The main support will be nutrition, non-food items and shelter.
