Advocacy Officer with Médecins du Monde Belgium in Tunisia (Tunis)

Beschreibung

In Tunisia, Médecins du Monde-Belgium's projects are aimed at all people who have no, or no longer any, access to healthcare. In particular, they are structured around five areas: people on the margins of society (homeless people, undocumented migrants, drug users, sex workers, etc.); children in vulnerable situations; women (supported in their fight for equality or against gender-based violence, for example); migrant or displaced people and victims of crises or conflicts. Our projects focus on migration health and rights, harm reduction, sexual and reproductive health and rights and, more recently, environmental health using a One Health approach. Partnerships and advocacy are at the heart of our intervention strategy, and we pay particular and cross-cutting attention to primary healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support. Although the political, economic and social context in Tunisia has been unstable since 2011, the security situation remains stable in the country.

Beitrag zu Unterbringung, Verpflegung und Reisekosten

The social climate on the Tunisia mission is very conducive to the integration of new members. In Tunis there is a good general atmosphere, and the risk of security incidents is very low. Accommodation for the volunteers will be provided by MdMBE, as well as the management of the security of the buildings (guards). MdMBE will do its utmost to provide volunteers with good housing conditions. Volunteers will receive monthly per diems of 534€ to cover their meals and other basic expenses.

Fortbildung im Rahmen der Tätigkeit

Volunteers will improve their professional knowledge through training in humanitarian action, and specific issues on security, gender, psychosocial support and will be provided with training resources to continue their learning. Those selected will receive briefings/training at MdM headquarters in Brussels with the different departments related to the mission and the position, as well as mandatory online training on environmental issues before they start their field work. Training sessions will take place both in the countries of the supporting organisations and in of the host organisations.
