About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

In the field of humanitarian action, MdM has responded to various health emergencies in Mauritania: cholera in Nouakchott, floods in Hodh El Gharbi, migration crises in the regions of Nouadhibou and Rosso, nutritional crises in Guidimakha and rapid response mechanisms based on emergency plans in the intervention zones. In order to improve the quality of medical care provided within the USPECs and the production of relevant data on the management and epidemiology of GBV in Mauritania, the data management volunteer will work closely with MdM's medical and gender coordination to improve the methods of data entry, analysis and dissemination of data managed by MdM and its partners. The volunteer will also support the teams from MdM and its partners (civil society organisations, Ministry of Health, hospital management, etc.) in their data management, recommending improvements and assisting with their implementation in collaboration with the information provider who designed the database.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The work will take place at the MdM Mauritania office in Nouakchott. The volunteer will then be accommodated in the organisation's guesthouse. It is a quiet city, with several beaches, the general atmosphere in Nouakchott is good. However, it is recommended to be careful when travelling. The restaurants are identified to allow the volunteers to have a varied diet and to eat in good hygienic conditions. The volunteer will receive a monthly allowance of 534 € to cover their food and other expenses.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will improve their professional knowledge through training in humanitarian action, and specific issues on security, gender, psychosocial support and will be provided with training resources to continue their learning. Those selected will receive briefings/training at MdM headquarters in Madrid with the different departments related to the mission and the position, as well as mandatory online training on environmental issues before they start their field work. Training sessions will take place both in the countries of the support and host organisations.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
