Job Description

Regional Humanitarian Context Analyst – Open to Internationals/Nationals

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises. Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.

ROLE PURPOSE:

The Regional Humanitarian Context Analyst position is a key member of the East and Southern Africa regional humanitarian team (for 50% of his/her time) and is embedded within the Somalia country office (working on Somalia for the remaining 50% of his/her time). The role will be leading the production and uptake of humanitarian analyses at regional and country level. Delivering high-quality analyses upon request from internal strategic entities within the ESA region, as well as from external partners when relevant, the role holder is also responsible for growing a bespoke organizational capability dedicated to context analysis in complex crises by supporting in-country Analysts across the region and providing technical support across a broad range of functions. The Regional Analyst is also expected to influence an external, region-based, network of senior Humanitarian functions among peer organizations and institutions. Within Somalia, the role holder is to support the Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) with technical support as required to strengthen the government’s capacity and efforts.

The Regional Analyst is part of Save the Children’s Somalia country office humanitarian team and works closely with the Context Analysis and Foresight Unit (CAFU), a technical network coordinated at global level by Save the Children’s Chief Analyst – a position embedded in the global Crisis Anticipation and Response Team.

The role provides timely, quality and tailored contextual and foresight analysis for the purpose of informing strategic decision-making at national, regional, and global levels, as well as enhancing the organization’s response capacity, preparedness and comparative advantage, with a focus on East and Southern Africa countries.
