Médecins du Monde Finance Coordinator Jobs in Nigeria

Médecins du Monde Finance Coordinator Jobs in Nigeria

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.

Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM currently works in 30 countries across all continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas: emergency and crisis, sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, migrants and displaced populations (health rights), health and environment.

MdM is active in North-East Nigeria since 2016. The program is implemented around the main following components: access to free quality primary health care, nutrition screening and treatment, GBV survivors’ treatment, MHPSS support.

MdM has its coordination office in Maiduguri, field offices in both Maiduguri City and Damboa, and a liaison office in Abuja. The team is composed of 10 expatriates and around 300 national staffs.

Currently the mission is shifting its logic of intervention towards a more sustainable, Nexus approach: ERT team doesn’t exist anymore and we are slowly shifting from substitution programming (MdM-run clinics) to the support to public health facilities in a bid to foster durable solutions.

At the same time, new crisis areas have arisen in North-West and Central Nigeria and 2 needs assessments have been conducted by MdM teams in Zamfara State in 2021, and we plan to conduct further assessments in Katsina and Benue states in 2023.
