Poste

Intitulé du poste : a DISABILITY COORDINATOR
Secteur d'activité : Social
Région : Asie
Pays / Ville : BANGLADESH
Mission :
Handicap International (HI) is an international organisation specialised in the field of disability. Non-governmental, non-religious, non-political and non-profit making, it works alongside people with disabilities, whatever the context, offering them assistance and supporting them in their efforts to become self-reliant. Since its creation, the organisation has set up programmes in approximately 60 countries and intervened in many emergency situations. It has a network of eight national associations (Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA) which provide human and financial resources, manages projects and raises awareness of Handicap International’s actions and campaigns.
Country context :
With a population of over 147 million, Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities in the world. Being a huge delta, the whole country is a risky prone area in term of floods. It is a Muslim country (88% of the population). But there is a good level of tolerance among the Muslims and the other groups (Hindu : 10%, Buddhists and Christians). Because of difficult political situations, security can be a problem sometimes. A current program’s security guideline is regularly updated. Myanmar and Indian borders (“the Hill Tracts”) are considered as risky zones. Dhaka (the capital) and the countryside are normally safe. Bangladeshi people are nice and have a very special quality to welcome foreigners. The civil society is very dynamic and this gives opportunities on interesting work, collaboration and partnership.
