Médecins du Monde Deputy General Coordinator in Charge of Programs Jobs in Ethiopia

Médecins du Monde Deputy General Coordinator in Charge of Programs Jobs in Ethiopia

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.

Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM currently works in 30 countries across all continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas: emergency and crisis, sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, migrants and displaced populations (health rights), health and environment.

MdM France has been working in Ethiopia since 1986. The mission has recently significantly grown. Although the Covid-19 pandemic was a challenge for the teams and the programming, in 2020 and 2021 it has expanded with its current programming in Semera (Afar) and Chinaksen (Oromia) where MdM France leads a consortium with COOPI and MdM Germany, and it has solid prospects for intervention in connection with the conflict in some parts of the country.

The mission has also reshaped after the hand over of its project in Somali region to MdM Germany in May 2021. In 2023, MdM starts new activities in Tigray, for the first time since the start of the war.
