Location/ Duty station: Port-Vila, Shefa Province with travel to Tanna
BACKGROUND
CARE’s global vision is a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.
CARE has been operational in Vanuatu since 2008, responding to humanitarian crises, climate change and injustice, and working in partnership with remote communities and government and non-government actors in Vanuatu to increase resilience and gender equality. Beginning with small scale interventions to help address and prepare for the effects of disasters and climate change in remote outer islands, CARE Vanuatu’s program initially developed gradually and with a niche focus. In March 2015, Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Pam brought a sudden and radical change to the country, the communities we worked with, and consequently to CARE’s programs. CARE’s investment in disaster preparedness meant CARE was able to respond on a large scale through a multi sectoral response and recovery program. Along side this preparedness and response focus, CARE has also developed and implemented innovative programming around Gender Equality and Inclusive Governance.
CARE is registered in Vanuatu as CARE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE (INC.) (hereafter referred to as CARE Vanuatu), which is a branch of CARE International Belgium. CARE Australia is engaged by CARE International Belgium to support financial and project management systems for CARE in Vanuatu.
