ICT and Digitalisation Specialist

The “Donor and Nexus Coordination for Yemen” Project in Jordan is seeking an “ICT and Digitalization Specialist” – for full-time base employment as per the below job profile

Background

A ceasefire for Yemen in 2022 was agreed upon between the two main parties to the conflict and has provided hope for the first time in the long-lasting conflict in Yemen. Nevertheless, the political, economic, and socially precarious situation poses enormous challenges for the people, and international support continues to be needed to overcome them. The international community wants to realign its support in the future and focus more on structure-building, resilience, and peace-building measures, thereby making the Yemeni population less dependent on humanitarian aid.

For this purpose, international donors have created a new coordination structure. This new structure pursues the overarching goal of making international cooperation more efficient at the political-strategic, technical, and sectoral levels.

For this purpose, coordination between international actors for Yemen shall be strengthened on the one hand and the so-called "Humanitarian-Development-Peace-Nexus" (HDPN) shall be elaborated and operationalized on the other. Germany has taken a pioneering task in this process and is involved at several levels.

Against this background, the project “Donor and Nexus Coordination for Yemen” supports Germany to fulfill its engagement at all three levels and especially in the development of the Yemen Information Board.
