Description About Mercy Corps
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future.
Program / Department Summary
The war in Syria continues; more than 11 million people have been displaced from their homes and the number relying on humanitarian assistance continues to grow. In response, a large number of NGOs and other humanitarian actors are providing assistance inside Syria from Damascus or cross-border/remotely from Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. As needs continue to outpace response, the UN and its humanitarian partners embarked on a Whole of Syria (WOS) approach in September 2014 in order to improve overall capacity and expand operational reach. Mercy Corps is at the forefront of the Syria Response and the WoS approach, and is working to strengthen our approach to immediate as well as longer term programming for Syrians, including those who have been displaced across the region. It is imperative that Mercy Corps present itself as a key and reliable partner with various donors, INGOs, government authorities and civil society actors, to be part of the process of positive change. The cornerstone of the Whole of Syria (WOS) approach is a commitment by all humanitarian partners to a coordinated response through the IASC sector / cluster approach to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their response through (1) developing a principled, predictable and systematic operational planning process; (2) ensuring greater coherence across the different operational modalities (ie. cross-line, cross-border or regular programs) through improved coordination; and (3) strengthening information-sharing and monitoring of response. To better coordinate food security and livelihood interventions for Syria, Mercy Corps is looking to recruit a new individual to fill the role of Syria FSL NGO Co-coordinator.
