JOB CONTEXT:
Since April 2023, Sudan has been facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, fueled by the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Armed conflict, attacks on civilians, population displacements, malnutrition, epidemics and climate shocks have left 30.4 million people, or nearly two-thirds of Sudan's population (+23% compared to 2024), including 16 million children, in urgent need of humanitarian assistance (OCHA, HRP 2025). The conflict has displaced more than 12 million people, making it the largest displacement crisis in the world. The situation is particularly dire for people living in areas of active conflict, including Darfur, one of the most affected regions in Sudan, where nearly 80% of the population (meaning 30.4 million people1) is in need of humanitarian assistance (OCHA, HRP 2025).

Since January 2024, HI has been responding to Sudan\u2019s crisis. HI\u2019s joint multisectorial response in Gedaref State, implemented with a Sudanese partner NGO, is already providing physical and functional rehabilitation services in healthcare centers and at community level, as well as MHPSS services, including individual and group counselling. HI is further engaged at the humanitarian coordination level to mainstream disability inclusion throughout the humanitarian response.

HI is scaling up its response from both geographic and modalities/sectorial perspectives. In particular, HI has deployed emergency response teams in Darfur, to setup its operations and initiate its response in the western parts of Sudan, since December 2024. Activities are implemented in Darfur since January 2025 in Basic needs (Wash and FSL), and assessment in other sectors are being conducted. The advertised vacancy is to be part of that team.

Atlas Logistique is an operational unit of HI, which has been supporting humanitarian actors since 1993. Atlas Logistique (AL) facilitates, optimises and accelerates the delivery of aid in emergency situations and chronic crisis contexts. Our mission is to open up humanitarian space to the most hard-to-reach populations and to optimise humanitarian supply chains. AL\u2019s operations focus around four key sectors: shared transport and storage platforms, medical logistics, logistics capacity building and light civil access engineering, both in the preparation and response phases of emergencies. These all contribute to HI-AL's positioning as a key player in humanitarian access.

YOUR MISSION:

After a phase of initial diagnosis to understand the logistical needs of the humanitarian community in Darfur, AL is launching operations in Darfur focusing on storage, transportation and capacity building activities.
