INTRODUCTION:

• Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachari districts are among the lowest ranked in Bangladesh for education, skills training, food security, poverty and agricultural productivity. The situation has worsened since 2017, with the Rohingya refugee influx, which has put enormous pressure on the local economies, resulting in loss of livelihoods, depressed local wages, and distorted local markets. Moreover, these districts are prone to chronic and rapid onset disasters.

• In response, the USAID Host and Impacted Communities Resilience Activity (HICRA) led by Friends In Village Development Bangladesh (FIVDB) is taking an integrated approach to improve the overall well-being and resilience of people residing in the communities hosting or impacted by the Rohingya refugee crisis. This includes implementing livelihoods; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); natural resource management (NRM); and disaster risk reduction (DRR) interventions with an estimated 114,000 households across the four prioritized districts.

ROLE:

• The District Coordinator will coordinate and collaborate with multiple internal and external stakeholders and provide the supervision and leadership necessary for high-quality and timely implementation of USAID HICRA activities within the district. Under the supervision of the DCOP, the District Coordinator will coordinate with Cox’s Bazar based technical leads and district-based staff to ensure all activities in the detailed implementation plan (DIP) are carried out in a timely manner and that milestones are met. The candidate will work with technical counterparts to develop, track and report against, District and upazila -specific detailed action plans (DAPs). S/he will be responsible for managing all district based staff on a day-to-day basis and ensuring integration within the programmatic areas. The District Coordinator will serve as the district representative and coordinate with other USAID Activities, donor projects and the GoB to ensure collaboration and coordination.

• The District Coordinator will create an enabling environment for collaboration, learning and adaptation, contribute to staff capacity building and support localization. This position will also provide the inclusive and well-orchestrated leadership necessary to meet the complex needs of USAID HICRA’s district-based efforts, in cost efficient ways. This includes collaborating with various stakeholders including the Government of Bangladesh, traditional institutions, other USAID activities, communities and HICRA consortium partners. S/he will apply strategic and analytical skills to accomplish goals and meet objectives, and demonstrate initiative and willingness to work together in partnership with the consortium and all key stakeholders. The District Coordinator will ensure activities are completed as per plan, meet USAID requirements, and maintain good relations with all.
