Responsibilities
As a humanitarian affairs officer with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), you will help MSF expose and advocate about the impact conflict and neglect have on the communities we work with and people we assist. You will likely be based in the capital city with frequent travel to MSF projects and be responsible for gathering information from various stakeholders, including communities, patients and staff. You will provide strategic advice on how MSF can best communicate our voice and our principles to deliver critical humanitarian medical care. You will also advise on how MSF operates and communicates in situations where access to provide medical assistance to communities in need is threatened.
Your primary role will be to use the ‘witnessing’ component of MSF’s mandate to advocate with and for people MSF works with and assists. You will do this by gathering testimonies and stories, using them to document the human impact of disasters and conflicts. The information you gather will be collated, analyzed and used to draw up unbiased reports on a wide variety of issues. These may include: the efficacy of the response of humanitarian actors to a crisis, speaking out about war crimes committed against civilians by armed actors or collecting testimonies from women who have experienced sexual violence due to poor security in displacement camps.
From carefully building a sensitive advocacy strategy to writing reports on the exclusion of certain communities from medical care, the role of a humanitarian affairs officer is incredibly varied.
