Job Description

The Danish Refugee Council invites applications for the position of
Deputy Country Director for the North Caucasus (stationed in Nazran,
Ingushetia)

Background

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been present in the North Caucasus
region of the Russian Federation since mid 1998. A large-scale emergency
operation involving distribution of food and NFIs, registration and
surveys, provision of shelter and psycho-social assistance is
implemented in Chechnya and Ingushetia. As of 2001, a reintegration and
integration component has been added, which targets the displaced from
the second Chechen conflict residing in Chechnya, Ingushetia and
Dagestan, as well as refugees from Georgia (including South Ossetia).
The (re)-integration activities include housing (re)construction,
infrastructure rehabilitation and construction, income generation,
community development, NGO capacity building and development, and
institutional capacity development.

By introducing a new position as Deputy Country Director, we aim to
enlarge and strengthen our management capacity and thus the ability to
carry through the planned transformation of the programme from one of
mainly emergency operations to one with primary focus on recovery

responsibility within the areas of procurement and / or microfinance.

In addition, you will assist the Country Director in the overall
management of DRC's mission in the North Caucasus region of the Russian
Federation, including programming and operations, security, and
government relations. You will report to the Country Director and in his
absence you will act as head of mission.
