JOB CONTEXT:

Since January 2024, HI has been responding to Sudan’s crisis. HI’s joint multisectorial response in Gedaref State, implemented with a Sudanese partner NGO, is already providing physical and functional rehabilitation services in healthcare centers and at community level, as well as MHPSS services, including individual and group counselling. HI is further engaged at the humanitarian coordination level to mainstream disability inclusion throughout the humanitarian response.

HI is scaling up its response from both geographic and modalities/sectorial perspectives. In particular, HI has deployed emergency response teams in Darfur, to setup its operations and initiate its response in the western parts of Sudan, since December 2024. Activities are implemented in Darfur since January 2025 in Basic needs (Wash and FSL), and assessment in other sectors are being conducted.

Atlas Logistique (AL) is an operational unit of HI, which has been supporting humanitarian actors since 1993. Atlas Logistique facilitates, optimizes and accelerates the delivery of aid in emergency situations and chronic crisis contexts. Our mission is to open up humanitarian space to the most hard-to-reach populations and to optimize humanitarian supply chains. AL’s operations focus around four key sectors: shared transport and storage platforms, medical logistics, logistics capacity building and light civil access engineering, both in the preparation and response phases of emergencies. These all contribute to HI-AL's position as a key player in humanitarian access.After a phase of initial diagnosis to understand the logistical needs of the humanitarian community in Darfur, AL is launching operations in Darfur focusing on storage, transportation and capacity building activities.
