ACTED REACH Assessment officer Job in Kenya

REACH Somalia established its presence in Somalia in 2012, partnering with UN-OCHA and the cluster system. Its aim was to provide surge capacity and technical support contributing to the formulation of countrywide needs analysis and response strategies.

REACH Somalia stemmed on the focus of geographic identification of internally displaced peoples (IDPs) living in settlements through collecting a core baseline of household specific information focused on the shelter, WASH and education sectors that enables the preparation of situational and gap analyses; thus enabling better planning, coordination and traceability of aid.

The team has quickly expanded its connectivity to other clusters (namely Food Security) and the overall coordination mechanism of OCHA.

The project coordinates its actions through the cluster system to define locations for assessment and mapping activities working through a large network of local partners operational in each assessment region.

To date the project has mapped IDP settlements in Doolow, Mogadishu, Baidoa, Kismayo, North Galkayo, Hargeisa, Burao, Bossasso, Qardho and Garowe
