Organizational Context
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, with a network of 192-member National Societies. The overall aim of IFRC is “to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by National Societies with a view to preventing and alleviating human suffering and thereby contributing to the maintenance and promotion of human dignity and peace in the world.” IFRC works to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people before, during and after disasters, health emergencies and other crises.

IFRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement), together with its member National Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The work of the IFRC is guided by the following fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.

IFRC is led by its Secretary General, and has its Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The Headquarters are organized into three main Divisions: (i) National Society Development and Operations Coordination; (ii) Global Relations, Humanitarian Diplomacy and Digitalization; and (iii) Management Policy, Strategy and Corporate Services. IFRC has five regional offices in Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas. IFRC also has country cluster delegations and country delegations throughout the world. Together, the Geneva Headquarters and the field structure (regional, cluster and country) comprise the IFRC Secretariat.

The WASH Delegate will report to the Head of CCD as a line manager with a technical reporting line to the Regional WASH Coordinator at the Africa Regional Office (ARO). The ARO is organized in two main blocks: 1) a group of technical service-based departments and 2) geographical configurations of 15 Country Cluster Delegations. The role supports the IFRC's programmatic vision for Emergency WASH and its translation into programmatic interventions, in close collaboration with National Societies (NSs) of Somalia and Kenya. The incumbent provides technical advice, support, and coordination to the Federation's programmes in the areas of WASH, specifically linked to the Africa Hunger Crisis - but also complements the complete resilience continuum (in emergency, recovery and development contexts).

Job Purpose
The WASH Delegate is expected to provide guidance and contribute to the management and supervision of both emergency multilateral and bilateral WASH programmes and operations e.g., Hunger Crisis and other operations that will be launched in Somalia and Kenya.

The role provides advice, technical support and guidance for the transition from Emergency to development WASH programming, inclusive both rural and urban, under an integrated food security approach connecting to public health and nutrition, livelihood, climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and ecosystem restoration.

When possible, and if operational duties allow, the role holder also supports with resource mobilization efforts for the WASH component of the East Africa Hunger crisis operation (long-term component), in close coordination with partners and other regional initiatives.
