JOB CONTEXT:
Yemen has been for long the poorest country in the Arab world. After the Arab Spring, the humanitarian crisis has intensified as a major humanitarian crisis of the moment since 2012 with almost half of the population being food insecure. This has created increasing unrest among the population and discontentment with the government.

During the summer of 2014, the Shia minority group called Houthis has somehow taken control of several important cities, among them the capital Sana’a. Meanwhile, the Southern separatist movement increased their call for independent south while Al Qaida and linked groups (mainly based in the South-Eastern parts of the country) are fighting Houthis and other groups including the internationally recognized government.

In January 2015, the Houthis overthrew the President Hadi’ government. Since the end of March of the same year, an international coalition of countries led by Saudi Arabia allied with the President temporarily exiled in Saudi Arabia launched a military campaign against the advances of the Houthis in the country. At the end of 2017, the alliance between the GPC of the former president Saleh and the Houthis broke out in Sana’a and Saleh was killed. In January 2018 the alliance in the south as well broke out: the Southern Transitional Council, in favor of an independent state in the south took over Aden from the hands of Hadis’ supporters, Hadi being still in exile in Saudi-Arabia.

As a result of such violence and instability, it is more than 20 million of Yemenis out of 27 million in need of any kind of aid. Malnutrition, cholera, diphtheria hit most of the families and a failed health system, with no salaries paid for several years, cannot cope.

You are responsible for leading the finance teams, ensuring compliance with HI’s standards and local rules in the finance field, financial strategy and steering and operational financial management within your area of responsibility.

You are the focal person for the Country Director and as such informs her of any problems and suggests solutions within her scope of responsibility.
