East Africa Hunger Crisis

The Horn of Africa is facing one of its most severe droughts in recent history, following three back-to-back poor rainy seasons, while South Sudan has suffered a fifth consecutive year of severe flooding, leaving nearly 45 million people across Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

The number of people requiring support is expected to dramatically increase in coming months especially if the next rainy season – long rains (March – May) – fails.

This is a complex regional crisis, involving 4 countries, with overlapping and mutually compounding hunger drivers (conflict, drought and floods, locusts, COVID-19), which are exasperating inequality and revealing the gaps in governance and aid.

The Role

As member of the East Africa Hunger Crisis response team, in collaboration with country teams in the region, partners and allies, and the confederation, the Media and Communication Coordinator will support the development, production, and management of media and communications work related to the ongoing regional Priority (CAT1) hunger crisis response. He/she must be a creative sharp writer and visual communicator with great news judgment and a flair for storytelling. And must have tactical and practical understanding of media production, delivery, and social media management and engagement. He/she must also have a track record of developing informative and engaging content on humanitarian and development topics. He/she ensures content aligns with the humanitarian mandate. He/she must be vigilant about editorial and journalistic standards, attentive to protection concerns and political sensitivities, and focused on communicating successfully to our audience demographics. 

Working with the technical support of the Regional Media and Communications Advisor, the Media Coordinator will contribute to the development of (social) media plans for the CAT1 emergency and humanitarian work and take the lead in their implementation. He/she or will support reporting, analytics, internal communication and advice to increase visibility, awareness, understanding and support for Oxfam’s humanitarian and development mandate.

The Media and Communication Coordinator will also be responsible for supporting this Crisis Response internal communication and information flow in close collaboration with colleagues from the regional platform and country teams of Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan. This includes data analysis and preparing of reports and information to internal and external stakeholders based on analysis of their information needs.
