ADMINISTRATOR LOGISTICIAN Swaziland Mbabane
Ref: ADMLOG/SWAZI/11
ACF is an international non-governmental, private, apolitical, non-religious and non-profit organization created in 1979. Its goal is to combat hunger and dangerous situations that threaten men, women and children. Currently 500 expats and more than 5,000 local employees are working for ACF in more than forty-six countries working in projects concerning four areas of focus: nutrition, health, food security and water and sanitation.
The Swaziland mission opened in October 2007 after an exploratory mission in response to the droughts affecting all Southern Africa. Having the highest HIV prevalence in the world (26%), nutrition had not been a priority in Swaziland and very few resources from the Ministry of Health (MoH) were allocated to this activity. At the time, only one hospital in the Lubombo region was providing treatment for Severe Acute Malnutrition and there were no national guidelines for such treatment. Currently, through the support of ACF-Spain, there are 6 In-patient Therapeutic Programme (ITP) sites and 26 Out-patient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) sites within existing MoH structures in all 4 regions providing a comprehensive care of HIV and malnutrition. ACF Swaziland is currently running an European Union funded project, which aims to close on the 31st of December 2011. The mission will have to be closed on the 31st of March 2012.
