Responsibilities & Context

Cox’s Bazar and the three Chittagong Hill Tract (CHT) districts are among the lowest ranked in Bangladesh for education, skills training, food security, poverty and agricultural productivity. The situation has worsened since 2017, with the Rohingya refugee influx, which has put enormous pressure on the local economies, resulting in loss of livelihoods, depressed local wages, increased food insecurity and distorted local market systems. The increased population has also put severe pressure on already limited resources. There is a need for safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. Forests have become degraded negatively affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Moreover, these districts are prone to natural disasters including fires, flash floods, landslides, extreme heat and drought. Cox’s Bazar experiences these as well as rising sea levels, salinification of soil and water, and tropical cyclones.

In response, USAID’s Host and Impacted Communities Resilience Activity (HICRA) led by Friends In Village Development Bangladesh (FIVDB) will take an integrated approach to improve the overall well-being and resilience of people residing in the communities hosting or impacted by the Rohingya refugee crisis. HICRA will achieve this goal through the implementation of livelihoods; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); natural resource management (NRM); and disaster risk reduction (DRR) interventions with an estimated 114,000 households across the four prioritised districts.

ROLE

The Cox’s Bazar-based Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) will work closely with the Dhaka-based Chief of Party (COP) to provide strong oversight of program operations in the four districts of Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, Rangamati, and Kargarachari, and provide effective regional leadership, management and coordination for the successful implementation of USAID’s HICRA – a recently awarded five-year, multi-million dollar localization activity. The DCOP will support integration in the implementation of the programs’ four results areas to improve livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, WASH, natural resources management, and cross-cutting themes of gender equality, youth empowerment, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. The DCOP will create an enabling environment for collaboration, learning and adaptation, contribute to staff capacity building, and play an active role ensuring all consortium partners work together in a well-coordinated and orchestrated manner to best meet the complex needs of the program’s participants.

The DCOP will actively work with HICRA’s management team to affect meaningful change through innovative programming. S/he will have the capacity to think strategically and analytically, demonstrate his/her ability to accomplish goals and meet objectives, and demonstrate initiative and willingness to work together in partnership with the consortium and all key stakeholders. The DCOP will ensure activities are completed as per plan and meet donor requirements, and maintain good relations with appropriate stakeholders in government, NGOs and communities.
