∎ I. Job Summary:
∎ CARE is one of the world`s leading international humanitarian and development organizations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working in over 100 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 and is one of the largest programs in the CARE confederation. Women and girls are at the core of all CARE programs because they represent half of the marginalized group, and it is not possible to overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh works to implement programs with long-term impacts that result in sustainable changes for the extremely poor and marginalized communities.
∎ CARE Bangladesh`s Humanitarian and Climate Action Program is committed to provide people affected by disasters and conflicts with life-saving assistance, with a special focus on women and girls, who are disproportionately affected by disasters. Our action also includes preparedness and early action, emergency response and recovery, and resilience and adaptation to climate change and equitable development.
∎ CARE Bangladesh will be implementing the Danish International Development Agency-DANIDA`s "Community Led Innovation for Climate Risk Mitigation in Bangladesh - CLIMB", a 4-year programme, in the southwest and southeast coastal region of Bangladesh. The southwest program aims to strengthen the adaptive capacity and climate resilience of vulnerable groups impacted by climate-induced saline intrusion in southwestern coastal district Bagerhat, a major hub of the world`s largest mangrove forest - the Sundarbans. The overall ambition is to increase the resilience and adaptive capacity of communities supported by locally led green, just and nature-based solutions (NBS) and an accountable service mechanism. The southeast program seeks to strengthen climate resilience and decrease conflict risks among Rohingya refugees and host communities by scaling NBS in Cox`s Bazar district, the home of world`s longest beach highly exposed to climatic hazards. It aims to increase climate resilience and decrease conflict risks among refugees and host communities through humanitarian innovations towards reducing reliance on timber. The DANIDA`s CLIMB- Southwest will directly benefit around 4,000 people or 1000 households in Bagerhat, but the program develops solutions relevant and scalable across delta communities in Bangladesh. The impact group covers two unions, Rayenda and Southkhali, of the Sarankhola sub-district of Bagerhat district, with a combined population of around 60,000 people. DANIDA`s CLIMB- Southeast will impact the living conditions of 4,000 individuals in Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazila of Cox`s Bazar. Both the southwest and southeast CLIMB programs focus on two long-term outcome areas I) Resilient and climate-smart communities, and II) Green and just policies and systems. The Sr. Humanitarian Innovation Officer (Sr. HIO) will be responsible for identifying innovative approaches, identifying new activities, and bringing innovation in implementing activities for improving program quality in Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazila. S/he will assist the Program Manager in project planning, management, administration, budget management, including monitoring and reporting of the project. S/he will support
