General Description of Haiti programme:
GOAL has been operating in Haiti since the country was devastated by a major earthquake in January 2010. GOAL is transitioning to a much longer-term programming approach linking relief and recovery to development through an integrated community-led development programme approach. GOAL Haiti has developed a strong focus on urban development and building of resilience within communities in the Metropolitan area of Port au Prince and in the South West department.
In January 2020, GOAL will be starting a new 2-year project funded by USAID-OFDA, to learn and take stock of the experiences in building resilience in Haiti. The project will explore what interventions have made progress, what learning from the wider LAC region can be adapted and applied to the Haitian context and what new and innovative solutions can be developed to increase the impact of future efforts to build resilience in this highly vulnerable country. It will aim at strengthening the transfer of knowledge and inter-disciplinary learning necessary to tackle the complex challenges faced by Haitians.

Particularly, the project will deliver the following outputs:
- Build strong relationships with and support the main Haitian Universities in ensuring that risk knowledge, understanding and assessment (Priority 1 of Sendai Framework) is well integrated into their curriculum of Higher Education;
- In collaboration with selected Haitian Universities, conduct and publish a study of resilience building interventions that identify evidence, learning and good practices to inform OFDA/Haiti strategy, and the Haitian government and other stakeholders strategies and programmes;
- Facilitate the involvement of Academics from different disciplines to develop systemic analysis and design approaches adapted to the complex Haitian socio-economic context;
- Develop and implement Action Research projects through the involvement of young Academics and students in three locations in Turgeau in Port au Prince, Croix des Bouquets in Canaan and Jeremie, based on evidence, learning and good practices identified in the study and applying a system’s approach to resilience building, providing relevant practical experiences to them as future young professionals.

As part of GOAL’s continuing efforts and commitment to ensure consistent and stable management during the project period and to maintain the highest standards in the management of the USAID-OFDA project, GOAL seeks to recruit an experienced candidate for the position of Resilience Partnership and Learning Manager in Haiti.
