Job Description
The Nigeria Health Cluster strives to build upon existing coordination structures making principled health action as local as possible to provide timely, effective, and appropriate actions to minimize the health impacts of humanitarian and public health emergencies through strengthening of service delivery, addressing gaps, and promoting effective leadership. The [Country] Health Cluster will advance the well-being, safety, dignity, and resilience of the affected population through coherent, coordinated and integrated health response. Working with national counterparts, the Health Cluster is responsible for facilitating and coordinating the engagement of partners to deliver quality programmes and services to meet humanitarian needs, improve accountability and to promote meaningful access, safety, and dignity in all phases of the Health Cluster response.
Effective and efficient cluster management is a shared responsibility held by all Health Cluster partners. The Health Cluster Team, led by the Health Cluster Coordinator, are the impartial representatives of the cluster as a whole and are responsible for the day-to-day coordination and facilitation of the work of the cluster.
The overall purpose of co-coordination is to improve the timeliness and impact of appropriate humanitarian health assistance for crisis-impacted communities and to strengthen the collective health outcomes of the response.
The Health Cluster Co-Coordinator (Co-HCC) will be expected to work with the Health Cluster Coordinator to support the implementation of, monitor and evaluate performance against the six core cluster functions and accountability to affected populations (refer to Annex 1). The Co-HCC will ensure that partners participate in and assume their minimum commitments to the Health Cluster (Annex 2 IASC Minimum Commitments for participation in clusters) by placing Affected Populations at the centre of decision-making and action.
