MEAL and Data Analytics Officer

MISSION:

The humanitarian aid organization Arzte der Welt e. V. is the German division of the international network Medecins du Monde/Doctors of the World (MdM). The 17 national members of the network implement domestic and international health care projects, currently almost 340 projects in 75 countries around the world.

MdM provides emergency medical aid in disaster and crisis situations, supports access to health care and, if possible, assists with reconstruction measures. The network is also active in risk reduction and preparedness as well as long-term development co-operations in neglected regions around the world that receive little public attention. MdM ensures that its health services are provided equally to the most vulnerable citizens, refugees, internally displaced people and host communities, regardless of their ethnic, social, religious or political background. 

MdM has been operating in Ukraine since 2015, targeting the most vulnerable communities and people by improving access and quality of health care services for the population. Since February 2022 MdM has restructured its setting in Ukraine and adjusted the programme accordingly. Currently MdM GE maintains a coordination office in Dnipro and field offices in Vinnytsia and Kramatorsk. The emergency response in Ukraine is currently implemented around two main components: direct delivery of services through multidisciplinary mobile units (including PHC, SRH, MHPSS and support to GBV survivors) to IDPs and strengthening the local health system through distribution of medicines and medical supplies to several hospitals and primary health care facilities. 

GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE OF INTERVENTION:

The MEAL and Data Analytics Officer is based in Dnipro.
