POURQUOI NOUS REJOINDRE ?
The Ukraine crisis is one of the largest displacement events – and humanitarian responses – of recent history. The scale and scope of ACF’s activities and operations is significant. This role offers an opportunity for an experienced humanitarian operations professional to help support meaningful humanitarian aid to an ever-growing population in need. As this is a new and expanding emergency, the postholder will be able to help build teams and systems, as well as to hopefully expand to new areas and bases of operation in 2023.
