Background Information

Background

In addition to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cameroon is currently affected by two concurrent, complex humanitarian crises: Boko Haram violence in the Far North region and growing humanitarian needs due to the socio-political crisis in the Northwest (NW) and Southwest (SW) regions of Cameroon. The country is also impacted by the influx of refugees in the East and Adamaoua regions. Humanitarian challenges are reinforced by structural factors and chronic vulnerabilities that hinder the long-term recovery of affected people. According to OCHA, 4,4 million people in Cameroon need humanitarian assistance and protection in 2020.

Conflict in the Far North: Cameroon is the country most affected by the regional extension of the conflict with Boko Haram, after Nigeria. About 1.2 million people in this region of Cameroon need urgent assistance. Women and girls have been particularly affected by this crisis, exacerbating the existing vulnerabilities due to gender inequalities and limited access to services.

SW and NW region: The situation in the SW and NW which started as a political crisis has now turned into a significant, complex humanitarian emergency with around 2.3 million people in need, an increase of 80 per cent compared to 2018.This crisis has also led to significant internal displacements across the neighboring regions - primarily in the Littoral and West but also into Yaoundé, the nation's capital.

UNFPA is working with government authorities, Un Sister agencies and non-governmental organization to respond to the humanitarian crisis with a focus on the prevention and response to gender based violence (GBV) as well as on the delivery on lifesaving and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) to the affected population. UNFPA is delivering a response package that includes assisted delivery, obstetric care, family planning, GBV coordination, clinical management of rape, psychosocial support (PSS), rape case management, establishment of safe spaces for women and girls, and GBV prevention. UNFPA is also the lead agency for interagency GBV and SRH coordination where it coordinates the GBV Sub-Sector, the SRH Working Group, the GBVIMS Technical Group and the PSEA Task Force.

The Position:

The GBV Sub-Cluster Coordinator's role will be pivotal to strengthening interagency GBV coordination mechanisms for a more effective and coordinated GBV prevention and response. The GBV Sub-Cluster Coordinator will facilitate the implementation of inter-sector GBV programming in a humanitarian emergency. The GBV Sub-cluster coordinator will ensure that GBV programming is multi-sectoral and involves organizations and actors from the displaced and host communities, NGO, and government implementing partners, UN agencies, and other national and international organizations that engage in comprehensive prevention and response initiatives.

The GBV Sub-Cluster Coordinator's duties include liaison and coordination with other organizations (coalition building), training and sensitization, strategic planning, and monitoring and evaluation. S/he will use the IASC Guidelines for GBV Interventions in Humanitarian Settings and companion materials (orientation and training guides, planning worksheets, etc.) to facilitate planning, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of GBV programmes.

The GBV Sub-Cluster Coordinator will work under the overall leadership of the UNFPA country Representative, while reporting directly to the Deputy Representative and working in close collaboration with the Office Humanitarian Coordinator.
