Job Description:

Moldova remains highly affected by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Since February 2022 almost 2 million fled the war to Moldova, and around 135.000 refugees and third-country nationals from Ukraine are currently hosted in in the country.

The Republic of Armenia has experienced an influx of over 115,000 refugees following the hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh in September 2023, constituting over 4% of the total population of Armenia. While the emergency phase of the Armenia Refugee Response concluded in March 2024, serious humanitarian needs and gaps remain. Humanitarian assistance is still needed to meet the remaining needs during the process of the full integration of Karabakh Armenians into the national assistance schemes.

In order to facilitate and maximise the impact of the humanitarian operations financed by the European Union in the region, an expert will be appointed to the post of Short term Technical Assistant by the European Commission’s Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) to support DG ECHO operations in Moldova, in the context of the humanitarian consequences of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and in Armenia.

The Country TA is expected to assess and analyse the humanitarian situation, the operating environment and the potential strategies for an appropriate response.

Additionally, the Country TA will be required to liaise with all relevant interlocutors and stakeholders (including humanitarian and development actors and donors, as well as the host governments) to support the operationalization of the humanitarian-development-peace nexus in the two countries.
