Introduction
Le Conseil danois pour les réfugiés (DRC) porte assistance aux réfugiés et aux personnes déplacées à travers le monde : nous fournissons une aide d’urgence à ces personnes, nous combattons pour leurs droits et nous renforçons leurs opportunités pour un meilleur futur. Nous travaillons dans des zones affectées par les conflits, ainsi que le long des routes de déplacements, et au sein des pays dans lesquels les réfugiés s’établissent. En coopération avec les communautés locales, nous nous efforçons d’atteindre des solutions responsables et durables. Nous travaillons pour une intégration réussie des communautés vulnérables et, lorsque cela est possible, à la réalisation de leur souhait de retour chez eux.
Le Conseil danois pour les réfugiés a été fondé au Danemark en 1956 et est depuis devenu une organisation humanitaire internationale avec plus de 7.000 employés et de 8.000 volontaires. Ayant son siège établi à Copenhague, et présent dans 40 pays, le DRC est une organisation d’aide non gouvernementale, à but non-lucratif, politiquement neutre et indépendante et non-confessionnelle.
Notre vision est une vie avec dignité pour toutes les personnes déplacées dans le monde. Tous nos efforts reposent sur notre boussole morale : l’humanité, le respect, l’indépendance, la neutralité, la participation, l’honnêteté et la transparence.
Contexte
Avec un million de personnes déplacées à l'intérieur du pays, dont environ 30% sont déplacées depuis un an ou plus, la communauté humanitaire doit constamment réfléchir aux perspectives à mettre en œuvre au niveau programmatique à court, moyen et long terme. DRC est présent au Burkina Faso depuis janvier 2013, avec 6 bureaux de terrain (Dori, Kaya, Ouahigouya, Djibo, Gorom Gorom et Dédougou) et 01 bureau pays à Ouagadougou. Le programme de DRC au Burkina Faso se concentre sur le rétablissement et le développement des communautés avec une approche multisectorielle.
Objectif du poste
Le Conseil Danois pour les Réfugiés (Danish Refugees Council - DRC) est une organisation non gouvernementale danoise qui travaille sur les problématiques concernant les réfugiés les personnes déplacées internes et les populations affectées par les conflits sur la base des principes humanitaires et des Droits Humains pour promouvoir des solutions durables.
L’Association Tin Tua et son partenaire Danish Refugee Council –DRC -ONG internationale à travers le projet KU NANLIGU veulent contribuer à l ’atteinte des résultats du Fonds Humanitaire régional pour l ’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre-Enveloppe Burkina Faso - Première Allocation Standard. Il a défini une stratégie qui s ’aligne parfaitement avec les directives et principes de l’allocation. D’abord, il a été retenu les communes de Matiacoali, de Pama et de Diapaga comme zones d ’intervention du projet. Ces communes font parties des zones les plus affectées par la crise, et qui sont à ce jour très difficiles d ’accès pour les acteurs humanitaires. En effet, il est quasi impossible à ce jour d ’accéder à ces 3 communes par voie terrestre au risque de tomber sur des EEI ou dans le filet des GOA avec des probabilités d’enlèvements ou de tuerie. Selon le HRP 2022, entre juillet 2020 et novembre 2021, la région de l ’Est fait partie des cinq régions qui ont concentré 93% du total des incidents violents avec 16% de civils tués à l ’Est. Par ailleurs la région de l ’Est a enregistré 18 attaques à l’IED touchant de 39 personnes (22 blessées et 17 tuées). Et selon les données du Cadre harmonisé de mars 2022, les populations de la région de l ’Est en situation projetée (Juin, juillet et août 2022) seront en situation de « crise » alimentaire (phase 3+ et concernera 361 099 personnes). D’où l’alignement du projet de Tin Tua – DRC avec la stratégie d ’allocation du FHRAOC. Tin Tua, au regard de son ancrage social et local, a des acteurs et des agents qui vivent et réalisent encore des actions dans ces communes. Ensuite, le projet va apporter aux bénéficiaires une aide dans les domaines de la sécurité alimentaire, et de la protection. Une approche intégrant un plan d ’accompagnement articulé autour d ’activités de développement des capacités de Tin Tua en Education aux Risques des Engins Explosifs-EREE, de coaching et de mentorat permettant de renforcer les capacités d ’autres acteurs nationaux/locaux (OSC locales, acteurs locaux de l’éducation formelle et non formelle, acteurs des media communautaires …), afin de soutenir une réponse endogène à la menace des engins explosifs par DRC. Cette démarche aura comme incidence dans un court terme la création d ’une capacité nationale/locale en EREE qui sera intégré dans toutes les activités. En somme c’est un appui multisectoriel et c’est de manière intégrée que L’Association Tin Tua et son partenaire Danish Refugee Council –DRC à travers le projet KU NANLIGU veulent contribuer à l’atteinte des résultats du Fonds Humanitaire régional pour l ’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre-Enveloppe Burkina Faso - Première Allocation Standard.
