Job Title: IMPACT Assessment Officer
Location: FCT, Abuja
Country Profile
- Since May 2013, the conflict in North East Nigeria has destroyed infrastructure, provoked dramatic livelihoods erosion, and triggered the displacement of over 2 million people, out of which 1.4 million people are in Borno State.
- The humanitarian situation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) is critical. Following years of conflict, most the state’s rural areas are empty. Much of the population has fled to the relative safety of Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, or other Local Government Area (LGA) capitals. In the IDP camps of Maiduguri and other enclaved LGA capitals, large portions of the population are extremely vulnerable and in need of immediate humanitarian support.
- While some areas have recently experienced returns in proximity of main roads, the population from many LGAs is likely to remain displaced for the medium term, lacking security, shelter, and livelihoods in their villages of origin.
- When returns are made possible, it will be essential to support returnees in rebuilding their homes, which are in many cases destroyed, and resuming their productive lives and livelihoods. Since April 2017, IMPACT has been deployed to Nigeria to help meeting the information needs of humanitarian actors operating in the State and build a better understanding of the needs of conflict affected populations.
About the Job
- IMPACT is seeking an experienced candidate, who has previously designed and implemented mixed-methods assessments ideally in a humanitarian setting.

- The candidate should also be comfortable representing IMPACT and the consortium in multi-sector meetings and able to coordinate and liaise with external partners on technical issues.
