The impacts of COVID-19 will be felt everywhere, but the most vulnerable people are at especially high risk. In Africa, as restrictions brought into limit the spread of COVID-19 continue to disrupt or reduce people’s access to sources of income, it is expected that the situation will become an economic and food crisis for many who will struggle to meet their ongoing basic needs.

  • Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) Delegate for Covid-19

    Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) Delegate for Covid-19

    Background

    The COVID 19 pandemic crisis is affecting the whole of the Movement as IFRC, ICRC and NS across all regions are preparing or already responding to the extreme levels of unmet humanitarian needs as a direct result of the crisis or secondary impacts. CVA, including cash delivery, digital payments and emergency social safety nets, will play a prominent role in the response to the crisis and expected to feature strongly in the longer-term recovery.

    The economic impact of COVID 19, coupled with restricted access and need for remotely administered humanitarian assistance in many countries, makes CVA a particularly relevant tool for response to this crisis. Cash also offers a lower risk of transmission to staff, volunteers and communities through digital payments and can be a critical enabler for markets as they adapt and recover to stimulate peoples purchasing power and key services and retailers.

    As the impacts of COVID on peoples and household’s ability to continue accessing services and key sources of income are disrupted or reduced, more and more of the most vulnerable people in the world will be affected and struggle to meet their ongoing basic needs, and will need support to also diversify and strengthen their livelihoods sources, among others. Cash and Voucher Assistance is the preferred option to help targeted population have financial access to cover their diverse needs, while having a strong positive impact on the local economies. At the moment, 23 National Societies of the Africa region are currently working on delivering cash and vouchers to cover basic needs of the targeted population.

    Job Description

The position aims to support the decision making and implementation, as well as increasing the accountability of National Societies assisting COVID-19 affected people with timely quality cash and voucher assistance.

    The position will be based at the regional office of Africa. There is the potential for international travel to support IFRC clusters and country offices and to participate in internal and external meetings.
