Remote, Canada Médecins sans frontières Full time

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international independent medical-humanitarian organization which offers assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation. The MSF movement is built around six operational centers (OCs) and 36 offices worldwide. We conduct medical humanitarian operations in over 70 countries. Medical operations are implemented by field teams and the project coordination teams. The field operations are guided and supported by operational cells from the Directorates and their support departments.

Three operational directorates, OCBA, OCG and OCP, have agreed to strategically organize their medical support to MSF field projects in West Africa. Their effort has led to the creation of a medical platform in Dakar, which aims to ensure and coordinate needed medical implementation support to MSF field operations in the region and to grow MSF medical knowledge and expertise in medical issues of high relevance for West.

The Dakar platform is led by a Head of Platform (HoP) who manages a pool of Specialty Implementation Supports to West Africa Operations (SIs), and is connected to a vast operational and medical network both within and outside of MSF. The aim of the platform is to enable a proper identification of key medical implementation support needs as well as the best coordinated response for MSF field programs in the region. By ensuring that it is closely linked to the OCs, the platform intends to foster knowledge and expertise that benefit all MSF programs.

The current portfolio covered by the Dakar platform currently includes MSF field operations in Burkina, Cameroon, Mali, Niger and Nigeria but is expected to evolve each year according to the medical needs.

**Mission**

**GENERAL OBJECTIVE AND JOB ENVIRONMENT**

The main objectives of this position are to:

- Contribute to the identification of pediatric needs and accompany the practical operationalization of the pediatric component in OCBA, OCG and OCP field projects managed by Dakar based cells in West Africa.
- Provide direct _ad hoc_ support to the design, implementation and follow-up of pediatric activities in the projects managed by the Dakar based cells in West Africa. More specifically:

- Contribute to the cross-fertilization within and among OCs, and to the coherent development of the pediatric strategy in the region.
- Actively develop and participate in the West African network of expertise with a view to increase MSF’s know-how.

The Pediatric Implementation Support is managed by the Head of the Dakar Platform (HoP), and technically guided/advised by the OCs pediatric referents/ advisors of the given projects.

Her/his priorities are based on the yearly roadmap of the Dakar medical Platform and assigned by the HoP in consultation and coordination with the respective OCs operational cells and referents/advisors.

He/she will have a direct and sustained collaboration with the pediatric referents/Advisors of the OCs, the Operational cell(s), the country medical coordinators, and projects involved.

This position should be preferable based in Dakar, although a remote location can be negotiated, will depend administratively by the Dakar office through an MSF Senegalese contract.

She/he must be able to spend 70% of the working time in the field, while the remaining 30% will be dedicated to project follow-up, knowledge sharing and strengthening MSF medical West African network in Dakar.

When possible, She/he should dedicate one month of field deployment / year to non-West African programs to stay exposed to the diversity of MSF’s challenges and responses in pediatrics.

**MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS**
