Pastoralist Initiative Development Aid (PIDA) invites committed, experienced and competent applicants for the following position.

This project was designed to address priority humanitarian requirements in an integrated way by integrating general protection and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) response together with, Health, and Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) sectors. As a multi-sectoral project, it ensures a broad range of services to adequately address the vulnerabilities of the affected population. Main operations in Health and Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance are all guided by primary protection principles, prioritizing the safety, dignity, and meaningful access of all the beneficiaries. PIDA and its implementing stakeholders and community representatives are committed to rolling out these protection standards through each phase of project management. One of the Organization of such a strategy is PIDA's commitment to safeguarding the safety and dignity of the beneficiaries, with all possible caution exercised not to inflict any unintended harm. Services are made fully accessible to all community members, carefully considering the location, timing, and distance of service points to break any barriers in accessing services. The project is also backed by a strong system of accountability and community participation. The participation of the affected population is essential and is solicited during the course of implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the project.

PIDA stands strictly by the Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) principles, ensuring that the very people we wish to assist have a meaningful role and are engaged in every phase of a project—beginning with design, implementation and access to services to monitoring. Being a humanitarian organization, PIDA recognizes the inherent power disparity inherent in holding control over project resources. We are dedicated to turning this disparity around by establishing respectful, equitable, and collaborative relations between PIDA employees and local citizens. Hence, PIDA plans to recruit one Project manager/Coordinator for projects to be implemented in the East Borana Zone of Arero District for (9) nine months.
