Humanitarian Coalition is looking for a Humanitarian Program Specialist.
The Humanitarian Coalition
Based in Ottawa, the Humanitarian Coalition (HC) brings together leading aid organizations to provide Canadians with a simple and effective way to help during international humanitarian disasters. Member agencies join forces to raise funds, partner with the government, and mobilize media, businesses and individual Canadians. Together, we are saving more lives.
Collectively the member agencies of the HC bring decades of experience in humanitarian assistance, aid and development to undertake united emergency appeals and implement projects funded by the Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Fund (CHAF). The Humanitarian Coalition and its members have developed a joint emergency appeal mechanism and capacity in Canada to provide donors with an easy way to give, educate the Canadian public, strengthen the humanitarian response sector and make a substantive contribution to reducing the suffering and affirming the rights of those affected by humanitarian crises. The Humanitarian Coalition does not operate any programs overseas but maintains extensive project-cycle management for projects funded by Global Affairs Canada and Canadian donors, and implemented by its member organisations.
CARE Canada is a founding member of the Humanitarian Coalition and administers Human Resources on behalf of the Coalition. Visit www.humanitariancoalition.ca for more information.
