Lebanon is currently grappling with a multifaceted crisis driven by political instability, economic collapse, and the spillover effects of regional conflicts. The recent escalation of military operations in the Lebanon has led to a significant wave of displacement toward Saida, Beirut, Mount Lebanon, and the North, resulting in urgent humanitarian needs. Many of the displaced have sought refuge in schools that have been repurposed as collective sites with more than 1,000 collective sites opened accommodating over 41,740 households (189,088 individuals), with numbers expected to rise as registration continues and secondary displacements occur.
To address the rising displacements and the need for services and protection for populations both inside and outside of collectives sites, the Site Management and Coordination Sector was activated as a standalone sector at the end of September 2024. It operates under the leadership of MoSA, co-led by UNHCR and co-coordinated by IOM, to enhance the coordination of the integrated multi-sectoral response at the site, regional, and national levels. With that in mind, the sector is aiming to strengthen its Information Management capacity to improve the quality of data collection and analysis by recruiting a Senior Information Management Associate.
Under the overall supervision of the Site Management and Coordination Sector Coordinator in Lebanon and direct supervision of the Site Management and Coordination Sector Information Management Officer; and, in collaboration with relevant mission units, the Senior Information Management Associate will be responsible for supporting information management thematic responsibilities related to the overall function of the Lebanon Site Management and Coordination Sector.
